Capecitabine is typically used to treat and prevent certain types of breast and colorectal cancer. In particular, capecitabine is used to prevent the return of colon cancer after surgery has removed the tumor, to treat metastatic colorectal cancer, and to treat metastatic breast cancer in people who have not had success with other types of treatment. There are currently no off-label capecitabine uses, and the medication is not approved for use in children.
