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.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
