Inclusion Criteria

-Histological proven CRC with completely resectable metachronous or synchronous liver metastases (as judged by the treating surgeon).
-Patients must have undergone complete resection (R0) of the primary tumor at least 4 weeks before randomization. Or in case of synchronous disease with intact primary; the primary tumor have to be R0 resectable together with the liver metastases and the patient has a non-obstructive primary tumor and is able to receive preoperative chemotherapy before surgery. Synchronous rectal primary is not allowed.
-Measurable hepatic disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST version 1.1).
-Ability to undergo anaesthesia and hepatic resection.
-Patients must be from 18 to 75 years.
-ECOG Performance status = 1
-Previous adjuvant oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy for primary CRC is allowed, if completed at least 12 months before inclusion in this study.
-All the following tests should be done within 4 weeks prior to randomization
a. Absolute neutrophil count > 1.5 x 109/L, platelets > 100 x 109/L, and hemoglobin > 9 g/dL or 5.59 mmol/l.
b. Serum creatinine less than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (to exclude severe renal impairment); no significant proteinuria (urine dipstick for proteinuria ³ 2+. If urine dipstick is ³ 2+, 24-hour urine must demonstrate £ 1 g of protein in 24 hours for patient to be eligible).
c. Absence of major hepatic insufficiency (bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN and aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT)/alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) < 5 x ULN).
d. Patients not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation must have an INR < 1.5 ULN and aPTT < 1.5 ULN within 7 days prior to registration. The use of full dose anticoagulants is allowed as long as the INR or aPTT is within therapeutic limits (according to the medical standard in the institution) and the patient has been on a stable dose for anticoagulants for at least two weeks at the time of registration.
- Negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of starting study treatment in pre-menopausal women and women < 1 year after the onset of menopause is required before entering in the trial. Note: a negative test has to be reconfirmed by a urine test, should the 7-day window be exceeded.
-Adequate contraception is required during and for 3 months after study treatment for both male and female patients if the risk of conception exists.
-Signed written informed consent before randomization according to ICH/EU GCP, and local, national and international regulations.
