The Value of Palliative Primary Tumor Resection in Metastatic Colon Cancer

The Value of Palliative Primary Tumor Resection in Colon Cancer Patients With Initially Unresectable Metastases After Induction Chemotherapy: a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The aim of this trial is to evaluate the value of palliative primary tumor resection in colon cancer patients with initially unresectable metastases and a positive response to induction chemotherapy which depends on gene testing. The primary endpoint is to evaluate overall survival.
