After resection of colon cancer with few lymph node involvement, what next?

Chemotherapy: So stage 3 disease or lymph node involvement needs adjuvant chemotherapy. I also like to get a baseline ct scan of the abdomen and pelvis. The standard chemotherapy would be a regimen called folfox which is folinic acid, 5-fu, and oxaliplatin. The treatment is given every 2 weeks for 12 treatments or 6 months. Hope this helps.

Oncology: I answer this not only as a physician but as a patient with stage iii adenocarcinoma of the colon. Your question also sounds like stage iii. You will need chemotherapy and long followup.
