Are you looking for a regimen, but can't find it here? It is possible that we've moved it to the historical regimens page. For placebo or observational studies in this condition, please visit this page. If you still can't find it, please let us know so we can add it!
Note: This page has recently been reorganized, with regimens intended more generically for colorectal cancer being moved to a dedicated page. Now, this page has adjuvant regimens specific to colon cancer. Please see the rectal cancer page for (neo-)adjuvant regimens specific to rectal cancer.

Guidelines

Given the rapid change in evidence in many areas of hematology/oncology, readers are encouraged to consider any guideline published 5+ years ago to be for historical purposes, only.
