Sequential Therapy Strategies in Gastrointestinal Oncology

By Sylvie Lorenzen, Florian Lordick

As a tumor disease progresses despite anti-neoplastic therapy, further treatment options come into question. Such sequential therapy strategies have established themselves in recent years, particularly in gastrointestinal oncology, leading to significant improvements in prognosis for these tumors. Molecular, personalized therapy strategies and the development of new chemotherapeutic substances have made treatment more diverse but also more complex.

This monograph presents sequential therapy strategies for gastrointestinal tumors, focusing on colorectal carcinoma, gastric cancer, and pancreatic cancer. The concept for all three entities is uniformly structured: genetic basics and molecular diagnostics at the beginning of each organ block, followed by current data and recommendations for sequential therapy of the disease, and finally, a chapter showing perspectives and latest developments for each.
