مستخلص: | Systemic palliative chemotherapy is usually regarded as ineffective in disseminated colorectal cancer, and the risk of toxic adverse effects is often considered a contraindication, as many patients are old and cannot be offered curative treatment. Randomized trials during the last decade have shown, however, that an effect on both survival and quality of life can be expected. Only casuistic reports of total remission have been published but a partial tumour response can be expected in 20-50% of patients. Toxicity is related to palliative chemotherapy and accelerated with old age (> 70 years). When disseminated colorectal cancer is diagnosed the possibility of palliative chemotherapy should be conferred with an oncologist. |
