ABSTRACT
Metastatic lesions account for about 50�60 % of all cases of colorectal cancer (CRC). Currently, the prognosis for metastatic
CRC has significantly improved due to the advent of effective drug therapy and the expansion of surgical treatment options.
In this regard, the study of modern directions of treatment of metastatic CRC is of particular interest.
In this study, both literature data and obtained treatment results of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer have been
analyzed (PubMed, Scopus, eLibrary databases were used) at the National Medical Research Centre for Oncology.
Currently, many factors should be taken into account when planning therapy for patients with metastatic CRC: the characteristics
of the tumor itself (biology and localization of the tumor, tumor burden, RAS, BRAF mutational status), the patient (age,
performance status, functional state of organs and systems, comorbidity, patient attitude, expectations and preferences) and
the treatment itself (toxicity, flexibility of the treatment program, socio-economic factors, quality of life). With a resectable
process, surgical treatment with adjuvant or perioperative chemotherapy, and with potentially resectable liver metastases,
with massive prevalence, unfavorable prognosis � to carry out the most active drug therapy taking into account the mutational
status of the tumor in order to transfer the process to a resectable one. In case of widespread colorectal cancer, drug
therapy lines are consistently carried out, the selection of which is based on the goals of therapy, the type and time of primary
therapy, the mutation profile of the tumor, and the toxicity of drugs.
Patients with metastatic liver and/or lung lesions should be considered through the prism of surgical treatment, since it is
surgical intervention that can significantly improve the results of treatment of patients. Therefore, patients with potentially
resectable metastases should receive the most effective treatment and be operated on as soon as the process becomes
resectable. At the same time, modern chemotherapy and targeted therapy are an integral part of the treatment of patients
with metastatic colorectal cancer.

(literature review)
INTRODUCTION
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common
type of malignant neoplasm worldwide and the second
leading cause of cancer death [1, 2]. In Russia,
the incidence of CRC was 124 per 100 thousand population
in 2022 [3]. Metastatic lesions are observed
in 50�60 % of all CRC cases, while metachronous
metastases occur in 20�50 %, and synchronous metastases
account for 15�30 % of cases, and there is
also a relationship between the latter and the worst
prognosis [4, 5]. The most common localization of
metastases is the liver, followed by the lungs, peritoneum
and distant lymph nodes.
At the same time, metachronous metastases
occurring after treatment are most often observed
(40 %), synchronous metastases account for 25 % of
cases and are associated with a worse prognosis.
In 30
% of patients, metastatic lesion is limited only
to the liver with a primary resectable process in 1/3
of these patients. In 70 % of patients with metastatic
CRC, liver damage is primarily unresectable or there
are extrahepatic metastases [6, 7]. These data indicate
that the majority of CRC patients will sooner or
later have distant metastases, and these will mainly
be liver metastases.
Nevertheless, the current situation is not so tragic,
since the prognosis for metastatic CRC has improved
significantly due
to the
advent
of effective
drug therapy and the expansion of surgical treatment
options [8, 9].
The purpose of the study was to study modern
treatment options for metastatic colorectal cancer.
Metastatic CRC drug therapy
Many studies have been devoted to the choice of
drug therapy for metastatic CRC. There are modern
chemotherapy and immunotherapy regimens (targeted
drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors), as well as
methods of local exposure (radiofrequency thermal
ablation, chemoembolization).
The long-term results of using FOLFOX and
FOLFIRI schemes turned out to be comparable, but
the advantages of the FOLFOX scheme in line 1 in
terms of the frequency of liver resections were revealed
[10]. A retrospective
PRIME study conducted
in England among 512 patients showed that the addition
of EGFR inhibitors to chemotherapy regimens
increases the frequency of R0 liver resections by
60 % in patients with unresectable metastases, and
these patients can be cured [11]. This conclusion
was also confirmed by a meta-analysis conducted
by Petrelli
F. and
coauthors
[12]. The
FIRE-3
study
conducted among 353 patients compared the use of
different therapy regimens for metastatic CRC and
found that the best response was achieved in the
group of patients receiving cetuximab and FOLFIRI
after 3.5
months of treatment [13]. The meta-analysis
also confirmed that for patients with metastatic
CRC with wild type RAS, the best treatment strategy
in the 1st line of therapy is chemotherapy + cetuximab
[14]. In wild type RAS/BRAF and left�sided localization
of the primary tumor, anti-EGFR should be
used, in right-sided � bevacizumab
[15]. Achieving
resectability of liver metastases increases the 5-year
survival rate from 9 to 42
% [16].
Surgical strategies for CRC metastatic
liver damage
The requirement for liver resection in CRC metastases
is currently beyond doubt and has been
proven by LiverMetSurvey International Registry data,
according to which, out of 23 thousand patients, the
5-year survival rate in the presence of liver resection
was 42 %, without resection � 9 %. In the review by
Simmonds
R.
S. et al. [17], based on the analysis
of 30 studies, it was found that the 5-year survival
rate of CRC patients with liver metastases with
liver resection R0/R1 was 30�32 %, with resection
R2
� 7
%, without
liver resection
� 0
%. A meta-analysis
conducted by Kanas
G.
P. et al. [18] showed that
the 5-year survival rate of patients with metastatic
CRC undergoing liver resection was 38 %. Therefore,
surgery should be the goal for the majority of these
patients [6].
The criteria for resectability of liver metastases
were determined by Adam R. They were divided into
technical and oncological [19]. The technical absolute
criteria are the impossibility of R0 resection with
less than or 30 % of the remaining liver tissue, as well
as the presence of unresectable extrahepatic metastases.
The technical relative criteria are the possibility
of R0 resection only using other procedures,
as well as R1 resection. The oncological criteria are
unresectable extrahepatic metastases, 5 or more
liver metastases, and tumor progression.
Prognostically unfavorable factors after liver resection
for
CRC metastases are: R1 resection, ex

trahepatic metastases, more than 1 metastasis, size
more than 5 cm, CEA above 200 ng/ml, metastases
in the lymph nodes of the primary tumor, non-event
interval less than 12 months, bilateral liver dam
age [16, 19], BRAF mutation [20].
Oncological and surgical criteria are taken into
account when choosing treatment tactics for initially
resectable liver metastases. In the absence of surgical
difficulties
and
favorable
oncological
prognostic
factors. Surgical treatment without preoperative chemotherapy
is recommended (adjuvant therapy is possible).
In case of adverse oncological factors, pre- or
perioperative chemotherapy is necessary. In case
of surgical difficulties,
systemic
chemotherapy is
recommended regardless
of oncological factors [21].
Adam R. suggests determining the tactics of treatment
of CRC with liver metastases depending on the
presence of symptoms of
the primary
tumor:
with
an asymptomatic tumor with resectable metastases,
simultaneous resection of the liver and primary
focus is possible, however, if there are risk factors,
then chemotherapy is performed first, then liver resection,
and only then resection of the primary focus
is
performed; with
symptomatic tumors
with
resectable
metastases undergo resection of the primary
lesion, followed by chemotherapy followed by liver
resection. In case of an asymptomatic tumor with
unresectable metastases, chemotherapy is recommended,
followed by step-by-step resection of the liver
and primary focus when the process is transferred
to
a resectable one. In case of a symptomatic
tumor
with unresectable metastases, resection of the primary
focus is performed, chemotherapy followed
by liver resection when the process is transferred to
a resectable one [7].
Aigner F. and co-author. They make their own adjustments
to the treatment regimen for metastatic
CRC: in an asymptomatic
resectable process with the
presence of risk factors after neoadjuvant chemotherapy,
simultaneous surgical interventions should
be performed instead of two-stage ones [22].
The views of oncologists are currently attracted by
a group of asymptomatic tumors with conditionally
resectable liver metastases, which is recommended
to undergo the most active neoadjuvant chemotherapy
with the maximum frequency of objective
response (duplets, triplets) using targeted drugs
(depending on the RAS status) with an assessment
of the effect every two months [11, 23].
At the same time, patients with conditionally resectable
liver metastases undergoing drug therapy
should undergo surgery immediately upon reaching
resectability, without
waiting for a full
response. This
position is due to several factors. Firstly, 83 % of metastases
that disappeared during chemotherapy will
cause the progression of the disease, and secondly,
there is also
a danger
of hepatotoxicity [18,
22],
to
reduce the development of which it is recommended
to limit preoperative therapy to 2�3 months [24].
In addition, the frequency of postoperative complications
directly depends on the number of therapy
courses
performed: 13.6
%
� without chemotherapy,
19 % � after 5 courses of therapy, 45.4 % � after 6�9
courses of therapy, 61.5 % � after 10 or more courses
of therapy [25, 26]. At the same time, early tumor
reduction (. 20
% or . 30
%) at 6�8
weeks of therapy
is an indicator of sensitivity to treatment and is
associated with a high frequency of liver
resections
and an increase in overall patient survival [11, 27].
The volume of surgical intervention
on the liver for CRC metastases
The question of an adequate amount of liver surgery
for CRC metastases is a matter of debate. Anatomical
and atypical resections are possible here.
Previously, the advantage was given to extensive
liver resections
with
a large
margin
from the
edge
of
metastasis due to the better results of extensive interventions.
However, the era of highly effective drug
therapy has made it possible to equalize the survival
of patients with anatomical and non-anatomical liver
resections for CRC metastases [28].
In
2019, a
meta-analysis
of 18
studies
was
published, including 7,081 patients, comparing
parenchymal-preserving and extensive liver resections
[29].
It turned out that the overall and relapse-
free survival in these groups of patients was
comparable, which allowed the authors to conclude
that parenchymal-preserving surgery is an adequate
method of treating metastatic CRC. Parenchymalpreserving
and anatomical liver resections for metastases
were compared with the same results in
12 studies involving 2505 patients [30].
Currently, the attitude towards the negative edge
of liver resection has also changed. Thus, Kokudo
N. [31] found CRC micrometastases in the liver
parenchyma in only 2 % of patients within 5 mm or
more of the macroscopic border of the tumor. Fur

Kit O. I., Gevorkyan Yu. A., Soldatkina N. V. , Kolesnikov V. E., Bondarenko O. K., Dashkov A. V. Modern strategy of metastatic colorectal cancer treatment
(literature review)
ther studies have shown that there is no significant
difference in patient survival when the distance from
the resection line is less than and more than 1 cm.
Even a clearance of 1
mm did not increase the time
before the recurrence of liver metastasis, and the
5-year
overall survival rate was 33
%
[31].
In addition,
with modern chemotherapy, even R1 resection has
no prognostic value for patient survival [32].
Parenchymal-preserving liver resections have also
opened up wide opportunities for the successful
application of laparoscopic techniques in CRC metastases
[33�35].
Repeated liver resections for metastatic CRC
The point of preserving the liver parenchyma is
not only the possibility of chemotherapy, but also
repeated liver resections in the event of new metastases.
The expediency of repeated liver resections
has been proven in studies, in particular, in the work
of Schmidt
T.
[36],
in which,
when analyzing the data
of 578 patients, it was found that without repeated
liver resections with recurrence of metastatic lesion,
the 5-year overall survival was 36.7 %, with repeated
liver resections � 56.6 %, with resections for the third
time � 53.2 %.
At the same time, the established prognostic factors
for repeated resections are not applicable, only
the pT stage of the primary tumor and the metachronism
of the lesion are important [37]. A meta-analysis
of 7,200 patients from 27 studies showed that
repeated operations benefit patients with a long relapse-
free period with solitary, small, unilobar lesion
and
absence
of extrahepatic metastases
[36]. Therefore,
patients for repeated liver resections should be
carefully selected.
In cases of impossibility of resection or RTT of
metastatic liver damage, it is possible to use other
methods of local exposure such as regional intraarterial
chemoinfusion, embolization therapy, which
allow
achieving a median overall survival of
45.6
months compared with 40.5 months with systemic
therapy alone [38].
Metastatic lung and ovarian lesions in CRC
Metastatic lung disease is the second favorite localization
of distant CRC metastasis. The importance
of active surgical tactics in this case was demonstrated
in a study by Onaitis
M.
W.
et al.
[39],
in which
thoracic intervention made it possible to achieve 28 %
3-year recurrence-free and 78 % overall survival when
analyzing data from 378 patients. The factors of negative
prognosis
for lung metastases
are: a short
recurrence-
free interval, metastatic lymph node lesion,
the presence of more than 1 metastatic lesion in the
lungs, high CEA, lung resection R1, large metastases,
liver metastases
in the anamnesis
[39, 40].
Clinical recommendations for the treatment of
metastatic liver damage in CRC are also applicable
for metastatic lung damage
[39]. Combined and sequential
resections of the liver and lungs are possible
with encouraging results in a selected group of
patients with solitary metastatic lesion [41].
Metastatic ovarian lesions often occur in women,
while they are more often detected with damage to
other organs, a single lesion occurs only in 24
% of
women. The prognosis for ovarian metastases is
worse than in the liver, and the median survival is
only 23 months [42].
The choice of treatment tactics for
metastatic CRC
The ESMO-ASIA 2019 consensus on the treatment
of metastatic CRC summarized current views and
recommended surgical treatment with adjuvant or
perioperative chemotherapy in a resectable process,
and with potentially resectable liver metastases, with
massive prevalence, and an unfavorable prognosis,
to carry out the most active drug therapy taking into
account the mutational status of the tumor in order
to transfer the
process
to a
resectable
one
[21]. In
case of unresectable CRC, drug therapy lines are
consistently carried out, the choice of which is based
on the goals, type and time of primary therapy, the
mutational
profile
of the
tumor, and the
toxicity of the
drugs. Studies
have
found
a
correlation
between
an
increase in the median survival of metastatic CRC
and the use of all three main cytotoxic agents (fluorouracil/
leucovorin, oxaliplatin, irinotecan) during
therapy [43].
At the same time, many factors should be taken
into account when planning therapy for patients with
metastatic CRC. These are the characteristics of the
tumor itself (biology and localization of the tumor,
tumour burden, RAS mutations, BRAF), the patient
(age, functional state of organs and systems, comorbidity,
patient attitude, expectations and preferences)
and the treatment itself (toxicity,
flexibility of the
treatment program, socio-economic factors, quality

[21]. That
is, a
balance
is
needed
between
the
risks and benefits of metastatic
CRC therapy,
and
much attention was paid to this issue at ASCO 2020.
CONCLUSION
Therefore, patients with colorectal cancer with
metastatic liver and/or lung damage should be considered
through the prism of surgical treatment,
since
it
is
surgical
intervention
that
can
significantly
improve the results of treatment of patients. Therefore,
patients with potentially resectable metastases
should receive the most effective treatment and be
operated on as soon as the process becomes resectable.
At the same time, modern chemotherapy and
targeted therapy, depending on the mutation status
and localization of the tumor, are an integral part of
the treatment of patients with metastatic CRC.
