Chinese herbal medicine to help prevent colon cancer return
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether a Chinese herbal “decoction” (called XLJDOD) given after surgery and chemo can lower the chance that colon cancer comes back. It may help people with higher-risk colon cancer (Stage IIIB or IIIC) stay cancer-free longer.
