Key Points

To evaluate the real-world management and outcomes of patients with simultaneously diagnosed liver and lung metastatic colorectal cancer.
National cohort study design
Patients with synchronous liver and lung metastases identified
Referral to multidisciplinary team (MDT) assessed
Local treatment options evaluated
Referral to an MDT associated with improved survival
Local treatment positively influenced outcomes
Patient and tumor characteristics may affect treatment decisions

Abstract

Referral to an MDT and subsequent local treatment were associated with improved survival, although this may partly reflect favorable patient and tumor characteristics influencing referral and treatment decisions. Patients with adequate physiological reserve should routinely be evaluated in an organ-specific MDT for potential curative treatment.
