- Title
The Pulmonary Metastasectomy in Colorectal Cancer (PulMiCC) trial results cast doubt upon benefit of lung and liver metastasectomy at the time colorectal resection.

Williams, Norman R.; Treasure, Tom; Macbeth, Fergus
- Abstract
The prospective PulMiCC cohort study, with data from 512 patients collected to trials standards, has now been published [[2]] along with a nested RCT in 93 patients [[3]]. The report by Dr. Tanaka and colleagues of 3-year overall and relapse-free survival following resection of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients who had both hepatic and pulmonary metastases at the time of diagnosis [[1]] deserves careful reading and thoughtful analysis.
