Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen is more effective for colon cancer

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying high-dose fluorouracil with or without leucovorin to see how well it works compared to standard-dose fluorouracil and leucovorin in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stage III colon cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare recurrence-free survival and duration of survival in patients with stage III adenocarcinoma of the colon treated with adjuvant high-dose fluorouracil with or without leucovorin calcium versus standard fluorouracil with leucovorin calcium following curative radical resection
Compare the safety of these regimens in this patient population

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to regional lymph node involvement N1 1-3 pericolic lymph nodes vs N2 more than 3 pericolic lymph nodes and participating center

Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive leucovorin calcium IV followed by fluorouracil IV on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 6 courses
Arm II Patients receive high-dose fluorouracil IV continuously over 48 hours weekly for 8 weeks Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for 3 courses

OR

Patients receive leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours followed by fluorouracil IV continuously over 24 hours weekly for 6 weeks Treatment repeats every 7 weeks for 3 courses

OR

Patients receive leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours followed by fluorouracil IV bolus and then fluorouracil IV continuously over 22 hours on days 1 and 2 Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for 12 courses

Patients are followed at 1 month every 6 months for 45 years and then annually thereafter until death

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 1600 patients 800 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 3 years
