Abstract

Most patients who present with stage IV colorectal cancer undergo resection of the primary tumor. The proportion of patients undergoing resection depends on patient age and race and the anatomical location of the primary tumor. The degree to which case selection explains the treatment and survival differences observed is not known. Further investigation of the role of surgery in the management of incurable stage IV colorectal cancer is warranted.
