What are your treatment options for colon cancer (allergic reaction to oxaliplatin)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Immunotherapy: If primary lesion present it is essential to be resected. If lesion already removed and oxaliplatin advocated as part of chemo, other option are Xelodac given orally or avastin (bevacizumab) as a monoclonal antibody. In addition there is Erbitux, an epidermal growth factor 1 inhibitor, radiation to the site of potential recurrence and newer monoclonals in FDA trials targeting tumor protein.
