Abstract:
In patients with initially diagnosed unresectable cancers,resection of cancer sometimes becomes possible by systemic chemotherapy,and this model of chemotherapy is defined as conversion chemo-therapy. Conversion chemotherapy can improve objective response rate and resection rate,and it has shown an important value in metastatic colorectal cancer,advanced gastric cancer and unresectable hepatocellular carci-noma.
