Abstract
This review assesses outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases managed by either synchronous, sequential liver-first or bowel-first surgery. Overall treatment-related mortality is low and survival is similar among the three groups. These findings provide support for the continued use of all three pathways until better evidence to guide selection of an individual treatment option is available.
