The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) decided that Xeloda’ s benefits are greater than its risks for: • the adjuvant treatment of patients following surgery of stage III (Dukes’ stage C) colon cancer; • the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer; • first-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer in combination with a platinum-based regimen; • the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer either in combination with docetaxel after failure of anthracycline chemotherapy, or as monotherapy after failure of both anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy or when further anthracycline therapy is not indicated.
