Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

CAPECITABINE is used to treat cancer of the colon or rectum (colorectal cancer) that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic colorectal cancer). It is used as a single drug to treat metastatic colorectal cancer.

For nodal involvement you should go for chemotherapy. Although systemic chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer has not significantly improved five-year survival rates, it has produced meaningful improvements in median and progression-free survival. These benefits are most pronounced with regimens containing irinotecan or oxaliplatin in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU); median overall survival durations consistently approach 20 months, and in some studies, as high as 24 months. In contrast, among patients receiving supportive care alone for metastatic disease, median survival durations are five to six months.


wishing you best of health

thanks
