In deciding between 3 versus 6 months of adjuvant therapy for colon cancer, how would you factor in the presence of isolated tumor deposits (staged as N1c), but negative lymph nodes?
Answer from: Medical Oncologist at Academic Institution
My approach to N1 and N1c is exactly the same. For T4 N1/N1c disease, I offer 6 months of adjuvant FOLFOX or CAPOX. For T1-3 N1/N1c disease, I favor 3 months of adjuvant chemotherapy with CAPOX as the preferred regimen.
