Neoadjuvante Therapie des Kolonkarzinoms

Die neoadjuvante Therapie ist bei der Behandlung von Kolonkarzinomen bislang noch kein etablierter Standard. Die Entwicklung derselben kommt in letzter Zeit jedoch voran – derzeit werden ganz verschiedene Konzepte verfolgt. Dieser Artikel stellt die aktuelle Datenlage dar und gibt zudem einen Ausblick auf die möglichen weiteren Entwicklungen der neoadjuvanten Therapie.
