Abstract: The curative effects of multi-disciplinary and comprehensive treatments for colorectal cancer have been widely recognized in recent years. Because of the diversification of colorectal cancer treatment and the relatively mature technology, the current treatment of colorectal cancer could embody the multi-disciplinary and comprehensive treatment. The curative effect of neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy has been validated by several recent clinical trials. Other treatment methods such as Chinese medicine, radiofrequency ablation and hepatic artery infusion therapy are also involved in the comprehensive treatment, which provide considerable curative effects.
