Patients and Methods 
Dukes’ B2 colon cancer, Dukes’ B3 and C disease
SECONDARY
This phase III trial randomized patients to receive continuous infusional 5-FU for 7 days starting within 24 h after curative resection (arm A) or no perioperative 5-FU (arm B). Patients with Dukes’ B3 and C disease received adjuvant chemotherapy per standard of care. The primary endpoint of the trial was overall survival in patients with Dukes’ B3 and C disease. The secondary objective was to determine whether a week of perioperative infusion would affect survival in patients with Dukes’ B2 colon cancer with no additional chemotherapy.
