Colorectal Carcinoma, Liver Metastases
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study, colorectal cancer patients with initially resectable liver-only metastases, as prospectively confirmed by a local multidisciplinary team (MDT) according to predefined criteria, will be tested for RAS and BRAF tumor mutation status. Patients with gene mutant or right-sidedness will be randomised between anatomical resection (AR) or nonanatomical resection (NAR). The primary end-point is the relapse-free survival.
Detailed description
This study is a prospective, single-center, randomized control trial. The major including criteria are (1) Histologically confirmed colorectal cancer initially resectable liver-only metastases ; (2) patient has the opportunity to perform either anatomical resection (AR) or nonanatomical resection (NAR) surgery; (3) the number of metastasis is 1-3; (4) KRAS/NRAS/BRAF mutation or right-sidedness. Patients will be randomised between AR or NAR. Patients will be stratified for gene mutation and right-sidedness. Based upon the segmental anatomy of the liver according to Couinaud system, AR is defined as the resection of one or more complete hepatic segments in our study, including bisegmentectomy, right hemihepatectomy, left hemihepatectomy, extended right hemihepatectomy, extended left hemihepatectomy, single segmentectomy, caudate lobectomy, or a combination thereof. NAR, also called as wedge resection, is defined as the resection of the tumor with a margin of normal parenchyma regardless of the hepatic anatomy. The primary end-point is the relapse-free survival. The secondary end-points are postoperative complication, postoperative mortality, hospital length of stay, and overall survival.
Interventions
Based upon the segmental anatomy of the liver according to Couinaud system, anatomical resection (AR) was defined as resection of 1 or more complete hepatic segments in our study, including bisegmentectomy, right hemihepatectomy, left hemihepatectomy, extended right hemihepatectomy, extended left hemihepatectomy, single segmentectomy, caudate lobectomy, or a combination of these.
Nonanatomical resection(NAR), known as wedge resection, was defined as resection of the tumor with a margin of normal parenchyma without regard to hepatic anatomy.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| relapse-free survival | 3 years | The relapse-free survival (PFS) was defined as the period from the start of initial liver resection to the date of tumor relapse or death |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| overall survival | 5 years | The overall survival (OS) was defined as the period from the start of initial liver resection until death from any cause, at which point the data was censored. |
| postoperative hospital stay | 30 days post operatively | The postoperative hospital stay is defined as the number of date from the first day after operation to discharge. |
| postoperative complication | After surgery during one month | Patients will be evaluated for surgical morbidity during 1 month. Postoperative morbidity will be scored according 'Clavien-Dindo Grade'. |
| postoperative mortality | After surgery during 90 days | any death occured within 90 days after the last resection of primary and metastatic lesions |
