SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS, STAGE II COLON CANCER
Adjuvant chemotherapy can be safely initiated 2 weeks after surgery with toxicity and quality of life comparable to conventional adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer.The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of early initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy within 2 weeks after surgery in patients with stage III colon cancer. Findings revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in overall toxicity, surgical complications, and quality of life between the early and conventional adjuvant chemotherapy arms.
