  • Camptosar IV

    This medication is used to treat cancer of the colon and rectum.

  • Cetuximab IV

    Cetuximab is used alone or with other anti-cancer drugs to treat colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. These patients generally cannot tolerate or have not responded to another drug called irinotecan. This medication is also used to treat head and neck cancer. Cetuximab works by slowing cancer cell growth. This action occurs when this drug binds to a specific protein (epidermal growth factor receptor-EGFR) on the cancer cells. Cetuximab is a man-made protein (monoclonal antibody).
