Summary
This phase II trial studies how well chemotherapy and/or metastasectomy work in treating
patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma that has spread to the lungs (metastases). Drugs used
in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing
the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Metastasectomy
is a surgical procedure that removes tumors formed from cells that have spread from other
places in the body. It is not yet known if chemotherapy and metastasectomy together works
better in treating patients with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma with lung metastases.
