Abstract

Overall survival is usually determined by the number and the magnitude of liver metastases in colorectal cancer patients with synchronous hepatic metastases. Traditionally, the standard treatment of such patients are, firstly colorectal resection of the primary tumor, then if possible, the resection of liver metastases after chemotherapy. Here, we present a case of rectal cancer with synchronus liver metastasis which underwent reverse approach.
