Detailed Information

Introduction

Dacotin RTU 100mg Injection is a platinum-based cancer medication containing oxaliplatin, used to treat colorectal cancer (colon and rectal cancer). It is prescribed for stage 3 colon cancer following surgical removal of the primary tumor and for metastatic colorectal cancer, typically in combination with other anti-cancer medicines. Colorectal cancer develops when genetic mutations accumulate in the cells lining the colon and rectum, influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. This medication is particularly effective against tumors that have become resistant to cisplatin therapy, offering an important treatment option for advanced colorectal cancer patients.
