Abstract

Treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer has changed in recent years, with many patients now being offered intent-to-treat regimens. In this context, a multidisciplinary approach to the metastatic disease may lead to individualized treatment for any patient. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (sbrt) is not the most common treatment. Here, we present the clinical case of a patient with a solitary liver metastasis initially treated with sbrt that was rescued with surgery when a local recurrence was detected.
