Conditions

Unresectable Stage IV colorectal cancer and a synchronous symptomatic primary tumor

Interventions

A: Open primary tumor resection followed by chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CapeOX plus bevacizumab
CapeOX: bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg IV and oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 as a 2-hour IV on day 1 and Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 per day orally from day 1 to day 14, repeated every 2 weeks) B: Laparoscopic primary tumo
