“…Despite the feasibility and safety of the combined LR and CRS–HIPEC in metastatic CRC reported from several studies ( 20 , 22 , 23 , 27 , 33 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 45 ), data on the matter show conflicting results, with updated studies and meta-analyses demonstrating evidence to the contrary ( 5 , 21 , 32 , 34 , 46 ).
