Abstract
Results from the pivotal IDEA trial, which evaluated 3 versus 6 months of adjuvant oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, are incorporated into the NCCN Guidelines for Colon Cancer. The guidelines recommend that for patients with low-risk stage III disease, the preferred regimen is CAPEOX for 3 months or FOLFOX for 3 to 6 months. For patients with high-risk stage III disease, the preferred regimen is CAPEOX for 3 to 6 months or FOLFOX for 6 months. In metastatic disease, tumor sidedness should be a consideration when choosing a biologic. For BRAF-mutated disease, several triplets are now recommended options. Importantly, for a subset of patients with metastatic disease, new to the NCCN Guidelines is the incorporation of nivolumab and pembrolizumab as subsequent therapy for those with microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient tumors.
