AIM. To analyze the short-term and long-term outcomes two alternative surgical strategies: 1) simultaneous resections for colorectal cancer and synchronous colorectal liver metastases;2) conventional surgery for the primary tumor during the initial operation. After time, the liver resection is performed at a second operation METHODS. Meta-analysis was performed to compare outcomes simultaneous resections for colorectal cancer and synchronous colorectal liver metastases and staged surgery. Tumor localization, spread and number of metastasis, extent of operation, blood loss, length of hospital stay, postop mortality, complication rates, overall survival rates were analyzed. RESULTS. Twenty-nine studies with 5518 patients were included in meta-analysis. Multiple (р=0,007) and bilobed (р=0,0004) metastasis were more often in patients in group ofstaged resections. Major hepatectomy was also performed more often in group of staged resections. There were no significant differences in blood loss and postopirative mortality rates (p>0,05). Complication rate in group of simultaneous resections was lower than in group of staged resections (0R=0,8, 95 %CI: 0,7-1.0, p=0,048). 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were similar in both groups: 54% vs 55 %, and 37% vs 38%, respectively (р=0,007). CONCLUSION. Simultaneous resection of the primary tumor and the minor liver resection or extended hepatectomy in selected patients didn’t adversely affect on complications and mortality rates in equivalent long-term survival compared to staged liver resection. An important limitation of the present study is the bias and heterogeneity in compared groups due to retrospective data over the 20-year period.

Historically, the 5-year survival rates for patients with stage 4 (metastatic) colorectal cancer were extremely poor (5%); however, with advances in systemic chemotherapy combined with an ability to push the boundaries of surgical resection, survival rates in the range of 25–40% can be achieved. This multimodal approach of combining neo-adjuvant strategies with surgical resection has raised a number of questions regarding the optimal management and timing of surgery. For the purpose of this review, we will focus on the treatment of stage 4 colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases.

Background: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery and open surgery in the simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer and synchronous colorectal liver metastases.Methods: A systematic literature search up to April 2021 was done and 13 studies included 1,181 subjects with colorectal cancer and synchronous colorectal liver metastases at the start of the study; 425 of them were using minimally invasive surgery and 756 were open surgery. They were reporting relationships between the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery and open surgery in the simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer and synchronous colorectal liver metastases. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) or the mean difference (MD) with 95% CIs to assess the outcomes of minimally invasive surgery and open surgery in the simultaneous resection of colorectal cancer and synchronous colorectal liver metastases using the dichotomous or continuous method with a random or fixed-effect model.Results: Minimally invasive surgery in subjects with colorectal cancer and synchronous colorectal liver metastases was significantly related to longer operation time (MD, 35.61; 95% CI, 7.36–63.87, p = 0.01), less blood loss (MD, −151.62; 95% CI, −228.84 to −74.40, p < 0.001), less blood transfusion needs (OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.42–0.89, p = 0.01), shorter length of hospital stay (MD, −3.26; 95% CI, −3.67 to −2.86, p < 0.001), lower overall complications (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.45–0.79, p < 0.001), higher overall survival (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.21–2.29, p = 0.002), and higher disease-free survival (OR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.13–1.97, p = 0.005) compared to open surgery.Conclusions: Minimally invasive surgery in subjects with colorectal cancer and synchronous colorectal liver metastases may have less blood loss, less blood transfusion needs, shorter length of hospital stay, lower overall complications, higher overall survival, and higher disease-free survival with longer operation time compared with the open surgery. Furthers studies are required to validate these findings.

Background: Patients presenting with synchronous colorectal liver metastases are increasingly being considered for a curative treatment, and the liver-first approach is gaining popularity in this context. However, little is known about the completion rates of the liver-first approach and its effects on survival. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of liver-first strategy for colorectal liver metastasis. The primary outcome was an assessment of the completion rates of the liver-first approach. Secondary outcomes included overall survival, causes of non-completion, and clinicopathologic data. Results: Seventeen articles were amenable for inclusion and the total study population was 1041. The median completion rate for the total population was 80% (range 20–100). The median overall survival for the completion and non-completion groups was 45 (range 12–69) months and 13 (range 10.5–25) months, respectively. Metadata showed a significant survival benefit for the completion group, with a univariate hazard ratio of 12.0 (95% confidence interval, range 5.7–24.4). The major cause of non-completion (76%) was liver disease progression before resection of the primary tumor. Pearson tests showed significant negative correlation between median number of lesions and median size of the largest metastasis and completion rate. Conclusions: The liver-first approach offers a complete resection to most patients enrolled, with an overall survival benefit when completion can be assured. One-fifth fails to return to intended oncologic therapy and the major cause is interim metastatic progression, most often in the liver. Risk of non-completion is related to a higher number of lesions and large metastases. The majority of studies stem from primary rectal cancers, which may influence on the return to intended oncologic therapy as well. PROSPERO id no: 170459
