Simultaneous Resection Is Associated With Long‐Term Survival in Patients With High‐Risk Synchronous Rectal Cancer Liver Metastases
Key Points
Long-term survival is enhanced with simultaneous resection of liver metastases and rectal cancer.
Patients with high-risk synchronous rectal cancer showed improved survival rates after simultaneous surgery.
Observational analysis of patients undergoing treatment highlights peri-operative safety of simultaneous procedures.
These findings support simultaneous resection as a potential standard approach, though further validation is needed.
Abstract
Simultaneous resection of RCLM was associated with peri-operative safety and long term survival in patients with high-risk disease, and can be reasonably offered in appropriate setting.
