Core Tip In this review we examine the present position with respect to liver and lung metastasectomy for colorectal cancer and explore the history of how these clinical practices were adopted. We find that these practices are based on observational and largely retrospective data. The mechanistic rationale and the basic science are insufficient for proof of effectiveness. Although randomised studies have been proposed none have been completed so current practice does not reach the standards required for acceptance of other therapies. We provide an update of the present position and propose a way ahead.
