Summary
Brief summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and combining chemotherapy with
surgery may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known if surgery is more effective with or
without chemotherapy for liver metastases.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of surgery with or without
combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have liver metastases from colorectal
cancer.
