Liver Metastases (Colorectal) | EORTC 40983

Pre- and post-operative chemotherapy with oxaliplatin 5-FU/LV versus surgery alone in resectable liver metastases from colorectal origin - phase III study.

Schema

schema: EORTC 40983

Summary

Cancers from the colon or rectum often spread to the liver (metastases). Sometimes these cancers can be removed from the liver with an operation, but the cancer often comes back later (recurs). This trial will determine if adding chemotherapy for three months before and after surgery can improve the cure and recurrence rates.
