Medical Oncology: Second-line XELOX or FOLFOX-4 for metastatic colorectal cancer

Ursina R Teitelbaum et al. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2009 May.

Abstract

In the movement towards individualized treatment regimens, Rothenberg et al. validate XELOX as another available systemic therapy for patients being treated with second-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. This paper adds to a growing body of data in the first-line and second-line setting that confirms the noninferiority of oral fluoropyrimidine-containing regimens.
