A member asked:

Are uft chemo pills used for metastatic colon cancer with a met to liver and 1 aortocaval node?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, it can be an op: This pill is often used in Japan. So it is not popular in the US. Moreover, it is better to be treated with a combination of 2 or 3 medicines that are proven useful in the treatment of metastatic colon Cancer. I would advise you to seek a second opinion so that you can make sure that your treatment is not substandard.
