Inefficiency of metastasis from colorectal carcinomas

Relationship to Local Therapy for Hepatic Metastasis

  • Chapter
Hepatobiliary Cancer

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 69))

Abstract

This paper is concerned with some of the pathobiologic consequences of the inefficiency of the metastatic process in relation to the dynamics of hematogenous metastasis to the liver from colorectal carcinoma and its potential influence on the response of hepatic disease to regional therapy.
