A member asked:
If chemotherapy irinotecan does not work for metastic colonncancer , what options are there ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other chemo drug: FOLFOX chemo has been employed and temporarily successful. If lesions localized to liver or lung then resection if possible or chemoembolization. Monclonaql antibody with mAb NPC 102 in FDA trials may be of value when all chemo has failed.
