Summary
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining oxaliplatin, fluorouracil and
leucovorin in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer that has been
previously treated with irinotecan. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop
tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill
more tumor cells.
