These metastases may occur synchronously or metachronously and the timing of the metastatic process is important in terms of treatment possibilities. Each anatomic site for metastatic disease has a unique management strategy. Systemic chemotherapy as an adequate management plan for all sites of colorectal metastatic disease is not compatible with a high standard of care. Formulation of an individualized plan combining surgery with regional chemotherapy and systemic chemotherapy is a necessary function of the multidisciplinary team. Copyright 2013 Elsevier Inc.
