Surgery is the main treatment for colorectal cancer, but even after radical surgery, there is still a possibility of recurrence.

Therefore, after colon cancer surgery, patients are sometimes scheduled to receive adjuvant chemotherapy. Many patients may be confused by this and question why they need such complicated drug treatment after surgery.

When the tumor has metastasized far away and cannot be cured by surgery, late palliative chemotherapy may be needed.

Our postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancer mainly focuses on the period after the surgery. We hope to use drugs to eliminate those tiny lesions that cannot be completely removed by surgery and cannot be seen with the naked eye, thereby reducing the recurrence and metastasis of tumor cells.
