Summary:Abstract Colorectal Cancer is a common malignancy. Many patients have metastatic disease at presentation and a significant proportion subsequently go onto develop metastatic disease, following surgery for the primary disease.

The following review aims to outline the arguments in favour of both and to suggest some broad guidelines.
