Based on an analysis of treatment of patients with colorectal cancer of the IV stage in two groups of patients by the method of cytoreductive technology (58 patients) compared with a group (64 patients) treated using palliate operations, the author makes a conclusion that cytoreductive operations are an alternative to palliative interventions since they give longer survival and save quality of life. The adjuvant immunochemotherapy is thought to be a necessary component of cytoreductive operations.
