Chemotherapy trials have not been abundant in patients with peritoneal metastases, and suggestions are that they are not as sensitive to chemotherapy. My recommenda...

Management of oligometastic colorectal cancer is a frequently encountered clinical problem.  The success of local therapy for liver metastases has been well studied, with survival rates as high as 25% at 10 years for this population (Kanas GP, et al, 2012). The value of this approach has been e...
