Is CAPOX or FOLFOX better?
Conclusion. The CAPOX regimen is preferred in older patients. Disease progression, metastasis, and mortality rates are higher with FOLFOX than with CAPOX.
What is the difference between CAPOX and FOLFOX?
FOLFOX was associated with increased mucositis and neutropenia, while patients taking CAPOX had increased dose-limiting toxicities, diarrhea, and hand–foot syndrome. Patients receiving FOLFOX had a higher median relative dose intensity of both fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin.

How effective is CAPOX?
The 3-year OS rates were 91% and 81% for stages II and III, respectively. The 3-year DFS rate was 74% for stage II and 66% for stage III. By multivariate analysis, only cancer stage was predictive of overall survival. Conclusions: CAPOX is an effective treatment for stage II and III CC in the adjuvant setting.
How effective is oxaliplatin?
Results: The introduction of oxaliplatin was associated with no significant improvement in the slopes (per half-year) of the three-year disease-free survival rate (0.2%, 95% CI: −1.7∼2.2%) and five-year overall survival rate (0.6%, 95% CI: −1.8∼3%).
What does FOLFOX stand for?

The drugs are: FOL – folinic acid (sometimes called calcium folinate or leucovorin) F – fluorouracil (5FU) IRIN – irinotecan.
Which is heavier CAPOX or FOLFOX on pump?
I do believe though that when in pills, the oxy is much heavier because 12 cycles of Folfox (the one on pump) is equivalent to only 8 cycles of capox (the one on pills). As to the hair, mine just thinned, on both folfox and capox, but it was not very noticeable.
Is the Oxaliplatin In CAPOX still there?
Whether on capox or folfox, the “ox” which is the oxaliplatin is still there and it is the oxaliplatin that’s the should I say, “headache”. Not literal headache, although I did feel some while at it, but headache in the sense that its usually the one that brings the bad side effects.
Do you need a Cath port for CAPOX?
I had CAPOX which is Oxaliplatin injected in a Cath Port (4-5 hours) and 14 days of Xeloda. The port is desired as the Oxaliplatin can damage your veins. The Xeloda (Capecitabine) is a pill form of the 5/5FU used in the FOLFOX, delivered through a take home attached IV removed aft 26 hours.
