Abstract:
Despite recent progress made in screening, prevention and adjuvant treatment of colorectal cancer, a large proportion of patients with this disease develop local recurrences or distant metastases. The management of these patients requires a multidisciplinary approach. Surgery must be performed whenever possible for metastases confined to the liver or lung. However, in most cases, chemotherapy and supportive care are the only feasible treatments. This review describes the research carried out in this field through randomized trials and meta-analyses aimed at optimizing the efficacy of front-line chemotherapy.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
