Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Although the mainstay of treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is chemotherapy, as has been the case for decades, the comprehensive management of mCRC actually requires a multimodality approach that involves care of the patient as a whole, not just their disease. Input from medical oncologists, surgeons, interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nurses, social workers, and supportive family and friends is essential, combined with nutritional and psychological support and palliative care.
