The prognosis of locally advanced colon cancer (LACC) with surgical resection followed only by adjuvant chemotherapy is poor. Preoperative chemotherapy for LACC patients with risk factors such as cT4bN+ or cT3-4aN2-3 has attracted attention. Here, the authors describe the rationale and design of JCOG2006, a randomized phase II study comparing preoperative chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6 versus FOLFOXIRI for LACC. Their efficacy and safety are evaluated and a determination of which is the more promising treatment will be conducted in a subsequent phase III trial. A total of 86 patients will be accrued from 44 institutions over 2 years. The primary end point is the proportion of patients with a Tumor Regression Score of 0-2, and secondary end points include overall survival, response rate and adverse events.
