No systemic treatment after surgery. The AXIS trial is named "AXIS-CRC" here so as not to confuse it with the AXIS trial in renal cell carcinoma. IMPACT should not be confused with the studies of the same name in breast cancer and prostate cancer. Reported efficacy for NSABP C-01 is based on the 2004 update.
