    Abstract
    The use of chemotherapy with patients with advanced colorectal cancer is increasing. There is a growing appreciation of the potential of traditional and newer treatments to improve quality of life, and of their value in the palliation of symptoms, in addition to providing modest gains in overall survival. Possible benefits have to be weighed up against the risk of side effects and patients need to be supported in making difficult decisions. This article provides a brief overview of chemotherapy agents for advanced colorectal cancer and focuses on one new agent, Campto. The evidence supporting its use, common side effects and management recommendations are discussed. The role of the oncology team and the implications for nurses are outlined.
