abstract: The cost of treating metastatic colorectal cancer has increased significantly after the introduction of targeted antivascular therapies. We report the unusual case of a patient with colorectal cancer with several large liver metastases at diagnosis, who was cured after removal of the primary tumor and treatment with 5-FU/LV only.
