Detailed Description

Patients with rectal cancer and resectable liver metastases receive 25 Gy in 5 fractions of 5 Gy over 5 days to the pelvis and XELOX consolidating chemotherapy (with or without target therapy) al least 4 cycles after 2 weeks.

After evaluation, patients with resectable rectal cancer and liver metastasis will undergo surgery. Those patients with unresectable lesions will receive chemotherapy.
