A comprehensive review on modern manage- ment of metastatic colorectal cancer is given in the arti- cle. The review particularly highlights a rational treatment strategy for patients with isolated liver metastases. This strategy involves liver resection, chemotherapy and target- ed agents. A new combined therapy for peritoneal carcino- matosis includes application of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. It is empha- sized on primary importance of multidisciplinary approach in treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
