Since there is no abstract available we provide the first paragraph.
Although surgery resulting in complete resection of liver metastases (R0) from primary colorectal cancer has been the standard of care, timing of systemic chemotherapy (before or after surgery) and targeted therapy with cetuximab or panitumumab remains challenging.
