A deep dive into the aggressive, curative-intent management of stage IV colorectal cancer with distant metastasis, fueled by an average 40% 5-year overall survival rate for resectable liver metastases. The discussion centers on critical decision points, including sequencing for resectable synchronous metastases (neo-adjuvant chemo is preferred for high-volume disease to assess tumor biology). For liver lesions, modern resectability hinges on achieving R0 clearance and preserving an adequate Future Liver Remnant (FLR). Techniques like ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein Ligation for Staged hepatectomy) are shown to provide a massive 20-month survival advantage over conventional staging. Also reviewed is the management of symptomatic primary tumors (bleeding/obstruction), where endoscopic stenting is a key strategy for palliation in incurable disease.
