    (ASCO Annual Meeting, 2012-06) Riggs, Heather D.; Lane, Kathleen A.; Loehrer, Patrick J.; Hui, Sui; Rawl, Susan M.; Ormerod, Anne; Weiner, Michael
    Patients with incomplete administration of AC for colon cancer (CC) likely experience inferior survival while oxaliplatin- and capecitabine-containing AC may not improve survival for older patients. The influence on AC completion of age, other baseline patient characteristics, or regimen characteristics is unknown. We evaluated the association of baseline characteristics and planned AC regimen with AC delivery in resected CC patients.
