Abstract

The sequential FOLFOX7-FOLFIRI combination is not superior to FOLFOX4 in colorectal cancer patients with resectable metastases. Patients with synchronous metastases preferably received perioperative chemotherapy, while patients with metachronous metastases were given postoperative chemotherapy in preference. We observed the highest long-term survival rates ever reported in this setting. © The Author 2014. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Society for Medical Oncology.
