About this trial

the ARMANI trial will test the hypothesis, if an anatomic resection (AR) improves long-term outcome vs. a non-anatomical resection (NAR) in patients undergoing surgery for RAS-mutated colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).

Anatomical and non-anatomical liver resection technically feasible

Disqualifiers

Extrahepatic metastases

Planned staged liver resection (e.g. two-stage hepatectomy)

Diagnosis of another cancer < 5 years prior to randomization Exceptions: curatively treated in situ cervical cancer, curatively resected non-melanoma skin cancer

Expected lack of compliance
