Zusammenfassung:Micro-Abstract Effectiveness of intensive medical treatment and secondary liver surgery was evaluated in 50 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with the FIr-B/FOx (triplet chemotherapy plus bevacizumab) regimen. Liver metastasectomies were performed in 26% overall and 54% of patients with liver-only metastases. Integrated treatments significantly improved the clinical outcome of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with liver-only metastases (progression-free survival, 17 months; overall survival, 44 months) compared with multiple metastatic sites and single compared with multiple liver metastases.
