Left-Sided Colon Cancer Shows Better Survival Than Rectal Cancer Post-Hepatic Metastasectomy

Survival outcomes differed between left-sided colon and middle/low rectal cancer post-colorectal hepatic metastasectomy. Patients with left-sided colon cancer exhibited significantly better overall survival (OS) than those with middle/low rectal cancer, especially in the subgroup analysis of ras mutations. The study suggests that middle/low rectal cancer should not be grouped together with left-sided colon cancer in terms of OS following colorectal hepatic metastasectomy.
