CB2-05: Chemotherapy Treatment Patterns Among Advanced Colon Cancer Patients

Background/Aims Chemotherapy for advanced (stage III/IV) colon cancer has changed with new drugs and combination regimens. Treatment guidelines for advanced disease are broad thus allowing for treatment variation. We evaluated cases enrolled at 7 HMO Research Network sites through the Comparative Effectiveness in Genomic and Personalized Medicine for Colon Cancer (CERGEN) study to describe characteristics and patterns of chemotherapy treatment by geographic site and patient characteristics.
