Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Evaluation of the safety of adjuvant XELOX regimens in stage III coloncancer patients at K Hospital and Ha Noi Medical Univesity Hospital. Methods: This retrospective descriptive study analyzed. 70stage III colon cancer patients were treated with adjuvant XELOX regimens. Side effects ofchemotherapy regimens were identified. Results:70 patients were enrolled in the trial. The rate of hematologic and non-hematologic adverse effects was low and mostly grade 1 and 2 including anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia. These percentages were 20 %, 41.3%, 5.7%, respectively. Leukopenia was common in 4 cycle. 90% of patients with grade 4 leukopenia had clinical infection. The rate of peripheral neurotoxity was 52.5%. Conclusion: Adjuvant XELOX regimens for stage III colon cancer patients was a safe modality.
