 adjuvant therapy for stage 1 cancer is incredibly successful. Adjuvant therapy is the use of additional treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, given to someone with cancer after surgery.

The goal of adjuvant therapy is to destroy any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of the cancer coming back. The success of adjuvant therapy depends on a number of factors, including the type and stage of cancer, as well as the patient's age and health.

Overall, adjuvant therapy is very successful in reducing the risk of recurrence for many types of cancer. For some cancers, such as breast cancer and colon cancer, adjuvant therapy can reduce the risk of recurrence by up to 90%.
