About this study

This prospective single arm double-blind study approved by the Ethics Committee of the institution, will be conducted on at the Oncology Institute of Vojvodina in Sremska Kamenica, Serbia. Patients with colo-rectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) is presented to the multi-disciplinary team (MDT).Screening and enrolment is conducted after established of indication for resection. The surgeons assesses resection margin (RM) for every resected liver specimen (RLS) intra-operatively by inspection and palpation. These data will be compared with pathological RM examination as a "gold standard". Resection margin of 1 mm or more will be rated as negative RM (RM-) otherwise RM is positive (RM+). Taking the result of the pathohistological examination as "gold standard" it is determined that RM is true positive when the pathologist and surgeon agreed that the RM is positive. False negative RM is when the surgeon assesses RM as negative and pathologist as positive. The sensitivity of the surgical assessment of RM+ is defined as the rate of RM+ which was correctly identified. True negative RM is determined when the pathologist and surgeon agreed that it is negative RM. False positive RM defined when the surgeon assessed RM as positive, but pathologist found that it was RM-. The specificity of the surgical assessment of RM is defined as the rate of RM- which is correctly identified. Total accuracy represents the rate of correctly recognized positive and negative RM, relative to the total number of samples. Agreement between surgeon and pathologists finding will be analyzed as well as difference between them. Disease recurrence and disease-free survival (DFS) will be analyzed by RM.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of R1 cases assessed by surgeon

    Resection margin defined by surgeon could be negative (R0), positive without residual tumor (R1) and positive with residual tumor (R2)

    Measured: at the operation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Recurrence rate

    Percentage of patients with recurrence of disease

    Measured: up to 5-years

  2. Disease free survival

    Time period from operation to the disease recurrence

    Measured: up to 5-years
