1. Colorectal Cancer: Cetuximab is used in combination with other treatments to slow down or stop the growth of colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
2. Head and Neck Cancer: It can also be used to treat head and neck cancer, particularly when other treatments haven't been effective.
