Risk of second primary malignancies after adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer.
Article in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAdvances in adjuvant chemotherapy have improved survival in patients with stage II-III colon cancer (CC). However, concerns have emerged regarding the risk of second and subsequent primary malignancies (SPMs) based on preclinical data and registry-based studies. This study evaluated the incidence of SPMs among CC survivors in relation to adjuvant chemotherapy type.
methodsThis retrospective, population-based cohort study included 18,383 patients with stage II-III CC who were treated between 2010 and 2022. Patients were categorized based on three adjuvant treatments: (1) no chemotherapy, (2) fluorouracil or capecitabine alone, and (3) fluorouracil or capecitabine with oxaliplatin. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for SPMs were calculated using national cancer registry data.
resultsIn an analysis of all 18,383 patients with stage II and III CC who had up to 11.5 years of follow-up, those who received with fluorouracil or capecitabine plus oxaliplatin had a higher overall risk of SPMs (SIR, 1.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-1.6) compared with SIRs of 1.1 (95% confidence interval, 1.0-1.2) in patients who did not receive chemotherapy or who received treatment without oxaliplatin. This elevated risk persisted across both stages and was most pronounced for colorectal SPMs. At 10 years, the cumulative SPM incidence reached 14.6% in the oxaliplatin group versus 12.5% and 11.0% in the other two groups, respectively. Oxaliplatin-treated patients had the highest second CC risk (SIR, 2.2).
conclusionsOxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with a heightened long-term risk of SPMs, particularly second colorectal cancers. These findings highlight the need for risk-adapted survivorship care strategies.
