What is FOLFOX?

FOLFOX is the standard adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for stage III and high-risk stage II colorectal cancer, combining oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin to eliminate microscopic residual disease after surgery.

Why China?

  • Generic drugs: Same molecules at 1/5 to 1/10 US branded drug costs
  • Cost per cycle: $350-$600 vs. $3,000-$5,000 in the US
  • Outpatient delivery: Portable pump system — no overnight stay needed

Who is a candidate?

  • Stage III colorectal cancer (post-surgical adjuvant)
  • High-risk stage II with adverse features
  • ECOG 0-1, adequate organ function

Outcomes

FOLFOX reduces 3-year recurrence risk by ~25% vs surgery alone. DFS benefit: 66% vs 73% at 6 years for stage III.
