Systemic chemotherapy ensures better quality of life than supportive treatment alone in incurable patients. Mean survival for the total group of patients with gastric, pancreatic and colorectal cancer can be extended only by months, however, this does not preclude that in individual cases survival time may reach years. The future of tumor therapy consists in sooner treatment of early stages and improved adjuvant therapeutic methods.
对于无法治愈的患者，全身化疗比单纯的支持性治疗能确保更好的生活质量。然而，胃癌、胰腺癌和结直肠癌患者的总体平均生存期仅能延长数月，不过这并不排除个别病例的生存时间可能达到数年。肿瘤治疗的未来在于尽早治疗早期阶段以及改进辅助治疗方法。
