title: [Colorectal cancer: surgery or is there something else?].
abstract: The standard modality to treat colorectal cancer in potentially curable patients is, undoubtedly, surgery. The concept of precautional chemotherapy used in tumors located elsewhere, has put forward a clinical trial that proved its effectiveness and improved survival. We report the use of two modalities (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) along with surgery as part of a multidisciplinary treatment of patients with colorectal cancer.
