2013
Abstract
Only a complete radical surgical resection of the liver metastasis is a chance of the long-term survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The probability of the radical resection could be achieved by the aplication of the systemic treatment.
The main of systemic treatment is to achieve the greatest possible overall response rate. The combination of chemotherapy and targeted treatment is a standard now.
Our case presents the patient with metastatic colorectal cancer with the complete response in liver metastasis after FOLFOX regimen with cetuximab. The premise of the successfull treatment is the patients presentation in multidisciplinary team.
