Colorectal Cancer | Procedure: surgical resection for patients with both intra- and extra-hepatic metastases | Phase 2 |
This phase II clinical study will examine the outcomes of surgical therapy for patients with both intra- and extra-hepatic CRC metastases.
The treatment protocol includes surgical resection of metastases from Colorectal cancer. Multi-modality co-interventions such as chemotherapy (neo-adjuvant, or post-operative), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and/or portal vein embolization (PVE) will be permitted.
The eligibility criteria include: patients with both intra-hepatic and extra-hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer, the number of extra-hepatic metastases must be three or less on pre-operative imaging, all metastatic deposits must be resectable with R0 intent, there must be no contra-indications to major surgery and an ECOG performance status of 0, 1 or 2.

- Procedure: surgical resection for patients with both intra- and extra-hepatic metastases
Simultaneous resection with R0 intent of intra-abdominal metastases from CRC. For patients with extra-abdominal disease, sequential resection will be permitted
