“…Prognostication in the patient with recurrent cancer is also impacted by the availability of effective therapies, including surgical resection. Multiple retrospective studies show a survival benefit of patients with advanced, recurrent, and/or metastatic disease who undergo surgical resection vs those who receive nonoperative therapy . There is abundant literature demonstrating the survival advantage of patients with colorectal liver metastases who undergo resection vs those unable to undergo resection .…”

Prognostication involves formulation and communication about the expected course of the disease and is unique in surgical oncology because of the need to incorporate patient, procedural, and cancer-related factors. Several tools and techniques are available to assist physicians in formulating prognosis on the basis of these factors. Use of established communication techniques are effective in discussing prognosis. In situations with prognostic uncertainty, use of the best case/worst case/most likely case or time-limited trial of therapy can be helpful.

“…Chirurgische Eingriffe bei problematischer oder grenzwertiger lokaler Operabilität, die unter kurativer Intention durchgeführt werden, sind a priori keine Palliativeingriffe, auch wenn sie aufgrund einer hieraus resultierenden R1-Resektion einer Palliativresektion gleichkommen können. [19].…”

Before any palliative tumor resection, the morbidity and mortality risks must be carefully weighed against the continued prognosis (including quick and lasting relief of discomfort from the tumor) and alternative strategies such as bypass, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Multimodal concepts have seen considerable progress in recent years, and endoscopic and interventional methods have expanded the instrumentarium for palliative tumor therapy. Thus the value of palliative resection must be reassessed. The most important criteria and study results are described here, as they have resulted in increased interest in palliative tumor resection within a multimodal treatment for most gastrointestinal tumors. More studies are needed to learn how much can realistically be expected of these new approaches.
