Background and study aims
Colorectal cancer means cancer that starts in the colon (large bowel) or back passage (rectum). It is a common cancer, and in about half of patients it will spread to the liver (liver metastases). For patients with liver metastases the only treatment with long-term survival is surgery. It is however less well studied as to how many of those patients will also develop lung metastases, and above all which treatment will be the most beneficial. The aim of this study is to find out whether lung surgery improves survival, compared to chemotherapy, for patients with liver and lung metastases from colorectal cancer.

Who can participate?
All patients with liver and lung metastases from colorectal cancer

What does the study involve?
Data is gathered from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry from 2007 to 2016, from the Swedish Liver Registry from 2008 to 2016 and from the Swedish Thoracic Registry from 2009 to 2016. Data is also gathered from the In Patients Registry and from the Death Registry from 2007 to 2016. The study period is from 2007 to 2016. From these registries all patients with liver and lung metastases from colorectal cancer are identified. The main study questions is whether there is any difference in survival depending on the type of treatment for liver and lung metastases and if there is any factor that may affect survival. The aim is to find out whether liver and lung surgery for patients with colorectal cancer results in an improved survival compared to liver surgery and palliative chemotherapy for lung metastases.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There are no benefits or risks for participants as the study only uses data gathered from registries.

Scientific titleFactors impacting on prognosis and treatment in patients with liver and lung metastases from colorectal cancer - a Swedish national study
Study objectivesThe aim of the study is to evaluate whether patients with liver and lung metastases from colorectal cancer have an improved survival if the are treated with liver and lung surgery compared to liver surgery and palliative chemotherapy for lung metastases.

InterventionData will be gathered from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry from 2007 to 2016, from the Swedish Liver Registry from 2008 to 2016 and from the Swedish Thoracic Registry from 2009 to 2016. Data will also be gathered from the In Patients Registry and from the Death Registry from 2007 to 2016. The study period will be from 2007 to 2016. From these registries all patients with liver- and lung metastases from colorectal cancer will be identified. The main study questions is whether there is any difference in survival depending on treatment of liver- and lung metastases (resection, ablation, stereotactic body radiation therapy or chemotherapy) and if there is any prognostic factor that may affect the survival. The primary aim is to study whether liver and lung surgery for patients with colorectal cancer results in an improved survival compared to liver surgery and palliative chemotherapy for lung metastases.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureSurvival estimated from time of the diagnosis of the primary tumor, and for patients with metachronous liver metastases from the diagnosis of the liver metastases
Secondary outcome measuresFactors, beside surgery, that have an impact on prognosis and survival
