Japanese term or phrase: 抗結腸直腸がん剤
Does anyone know what type of cancer 抗結腸直腸がん剤 would be for? The drug is Erbitux (cetuximab), which is a drug for colorectal cancer, and that seems to match with 腸直腸, but 抗結 seems to be related to tuberculosis.

Any help would be appreciated.

Explanation:
I think you've misread this. 結腸直腸がん is "colorectal cancer" and the first character 抗 is "anti"

Explanation:
Didn't notice when I first saw the other answer so I missed the boat but I think "colorectal anti-cancer drug" would be the natural English translation. (See Google counts below on "colorectal anti cancer drugs" vs "anti colorectal cancer drugs").
