Deskripsi
Highlights Increased use of primary tumor resection plus metastasectomy benefited patients with left-sided tumors but not those with right-sided tumors. Increased use of primary tumor resection alone did not improve survival in either left or right-sided tumor group. Overuse of palliative primary tumor resection should be avoided.
