A member asked:
Is chemoradiation a good treatment for colorectal cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chemoradiation: It is a very good option for rectal cancer usually as primary or induction treatment followed by surgery. In colon cancer itself there are very few indications for radiation therapy but chemotherapy is widely used.
