It may also be used to treat cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Your care team will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your situation.\u00a0<b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>What is Chemotherapy?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/cancer\/colon-rectal-cancer\/treating\/chemotherapy.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemotherapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. It\u2019s commonly used to treat colon cancer after surgery or if the cancer has spread to other areas of the body. It can be used in combination with other therapies, such as radiation therapy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemotherapy drugs can be given directly into the vein or taken orally. It can be used at different times throughout treatment for colon cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, it may be administered:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy). <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neoadjuvant chemotherapy describes chemotherapy used prior to surgery to help shrink the cancer and make it easier to remove with surgery. This is commonly used for rectal cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>After surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy). <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adjuvant chemotherapy describes when chemotherapy is used to help clear the body of any remaining cancer cells that weren\u2019t caught by a previous treatment or surgery. This approach helps to lower the risk of colon cancer coming back.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How is Chemotherapy Administered?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2.jpeg-20_11zon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32919\" title=\"Patient getting chemotherapy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2.jpeg-20_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"Patient getting chemotherapy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2.jpeg-20_11zon.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2.jpeg-20_11zon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are different ways to use chemotherapy to treat colon cancer. Treatment involves one of the following methods:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Systemic chemotherapy.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Systemic chemotherapy describes a process where drugs are administered directly into your bloodstream through a vein or by mouth. The drugs will circulate through your bloodstream and spread throughout your body.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Regional chemotherapy. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regional chemotherapy describes a process where drugs are administered directly into an artery leading to the area of your body affected by the cancer. This helps to focus the chemotherapy on the cells in a specific area. This can also help to reduce side effects because less of your body is exposed to the treatment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemotherapy is delivered in cycles, followed by rest periods. These cycles are typically two to three weeks long. This helps to give your body time to recover from side effects between each treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The type of chemotherapy administered depends on the risk level of the cancer. The length of treatment depends on how well your treatment is working and the side effects you\u2019re experiencing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Drugs are Used for Colon Cancer Treatment?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Numerous drugs are used to treat colon cancer. Chemotherapy drugs are commonly combined for the best treatment outcomes. Chemotherapy may be used alongside a targeted therapy drug as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best treatment for you will depend on the size, location, and stage of the cancer. It will also depend on other health conditions and health concerns. Your provider can help you determine the best treatment plan for your situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drugs commonly used to treat colon cancer include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/mtm\/fluorouracil-injection.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluorouracil <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Adrucil)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/mtm\/capecitabine.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capecitabine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Xeloda)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/mtm\/irinotecan.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irinotecan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Camptosar)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/oxaliplatin.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oxaliplatin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Eloxatin)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/mtm\/tipiracil-and-trifluridine.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tipiracil and trifluridine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (Lonsurf)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chemotherapy drugs commonly cause side effects that can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diarrhea\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of appetite<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mouth sores<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nail changes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nausea or vomiting\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin changes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weight loss<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other side effects are specific to the drugs you\u2019re taking.

This syndrome typically starts as redness in your hands and feet, which can lead to pain and sensitivity in your palms and soles. This can also cause skin blistering or painful sores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell your provider right away if you experience any symptoms of allergic reaction, severe and ongoing diarrhea, or early symptoms of hand-foot syndrome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Capecitabine (Xeloda)<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/mtm\/capecitabine.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capecitabine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a chemotherapy drug given as an oral tablet.
