Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about treatment outcomes, quality of life, and healthcare costs in patients with colorectal cancer who have liver metastases detected at the same time as their primary tumor (synchronous colorectal liver metastases, CRLM). The main questions it aims to answer are:

Do patients who undergo simultaneous removal of both the bowel tumor and liver metastases in one operation differ in their ability to complete the intended treatment compared to patients who undergo staged operations (bowel first or liver first)? Does the choice of surgical strategy affect quality of life and healthcare costs?

Patients with synchronous CRLM discussed at a multidisciplinary team meeting at participating Swedish university hospitals will be followed prospectively for up to 5 years. Treatment is not influenced by the study - all surgical decisions are made as part of routine clinical care. Patients in the quality-of-life sub-study will complete validated questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-LM21, and QLQ-CR29) at multiple time points from diagnosis through 36 months. Healthcare costs and health literacy will also be assessed in parallel sub-studies.
