Chronotherapy of Colorectal Liver Metastases

  • Chapter
Multi-Treatment Modalities of Liver Tumours

Abstract

Chronotherapy consists in the adaption of chemotherapeutic drug delivery to circadian (~ 24h) rhythms. This can be achieved in fully ambulatory patients using multichannel programmable pumps.
