Patients with the diagnosis of liver metastasis presenting synchronically or after a disease-free interval. The primary tumor shall have been resected previously although the inverse approach may be acceptable if the tumor is not very symptomatic. Patients in whom combined surgery of the primary tumor and metastases is planned are not eligible.

   NOTE: Patients with bilateral metastases may be enrolled if they satisfy the above criteria (<4 metastases and size <10 cm).

   • Serum creatinine < 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 ml/min according to Cockcroft and Gault formula (Annex VII).
   • INR < 1.5 within the 7 days prior to the start of study treatment. aPTT < 1.5 × ULN within 7 days prior to the start of study treatment. Exception: Patients treated with complete doses of anticoagulants due to venous thromboembolism usually must have an INR value within the established range (usually 2-3). The patient must be receiving a stable dose of anticoagulant treatment before enrollment in the study.
   • Urine strip for proteinuria < 2+. If the result of the reactive strip in urine is ≥ 2+, the 24-hour urine sample must demonstrate ≤ 1 g protein in 24 hours in order to include the patient.

Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrheic during at least 12 months.
