In the early stages of the disease in patients with intestinal cancer, there are hopes for recovery, but unfortunately, bowel cancer often recurs.

A method of combined surgical and chemotherapeutic treatment has recently been developed that gives a chance for a complete recovery of 25% in patients.

This method of treatment was developed in Paris and presented at a meeting of the European Cancer Society. The number of relapses with this treatment regimen is reduced by 30%. The treatment regimen includes a new medicine oxaliplatin.

Annually, intestinal cancer affects 38,000 Britons of them die 14,000.
