Abstract

Surgical therapy is still the basis of therapy of patients with colon carcinoma. Multimodal therapeutical concepts are presently applied as a therapeutical standard in the adjuvant therapy and increasingly in the systemic therapy of patients with primarily inoperable metastases of the liver to reach a secondary operability. Interdisciplinary multimodal therapeutical concepts are even accepted within the therapy of metastasized colon carcinomas. There are still unanswered questions regarding sequences of palliative systemic therapies and their combinations with local ablative methods.
