For many years, the treatment of malignant gastrointestinal tumors has been disappointing. However, recent results have shown an improvement in the rate of remissions and survival, especially in the treatment of gastric, pancreatic and localized rectal carcinoma. The therapy of cancer of the colon still remains unsatisfactory: the rate of remissions could be increased, but survival remains unaltered. Adjuvant chemotherapy is under investigation in many quarters but cannot yet be recommended as an established method of treatment.
多年来，恶性胃肠道肿瘤的治疗效果一直不尽人意。然而，最近的结果显示缓解率和生存率有所提高，尤其是在胃癌、胰腺癌和局限性直肠癌的治疗方面。结肠癌的治疗仍然不尽如人意：缓解率可以提高，但生存率仍未改变。许多地方都在研究辅助化疗，但目前还不能作为一种既定的治疗方法推荐使用。
