To analyze the pathological tumor response on resected colorectal cancer metastases after preoperative treatment with cetuximab combined with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI regimen in a prospective cohort (RAS and B-RAF WT tumors) and to correlate this response with patient's outcome.
This is a phase II , openlabel, randomized study in patients with confirmed diagnosis of potentially or borderline resectable metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (RAS and B-RAF WT tumors ), who have not received prior chemotherapy for their metastatic disease. The study is designed to compare pathological responses observed after pre-operative chemotherapy cetuximab with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI.

NONE
Enrollment
4
Metastases resection will be process by surgery, after a randomized chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) + Target therapy (Cetuximab). The surgery will allow to compare the pathological response on the resected metastases by the chemotherapy + target therapy type.

Major Pathological Response Rate
Major pathological response rate (MPRR) is defined as the proportion of patients presenting a major pathological response. Pathologic response will be evaluated according the Rubbia-Brandt Tumor Regression Grade classification .For patients with multiple colorectal metastases the global pathological response will be categorized based on the mean TRG of all metastases.: a major response is defined as a mean TRG \< 3, a partial response is defined for patient presenting a mean TRG ≥3 and \<4, and a no response for patient with a mean TRG ≥4.
Time frame: Average 3 months (after resection of metastases)
progression free survival
-Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the time of first event (relapse of the original mCRC, development of a new colorectal cancer or death due to any cause). Patients without any such event at the time of data analysis will be censored at the last date they were known to be event-free. PFS analysis will be based on tumour assessments and survival follow-up assessments.
Time frame: at 6 months and at 12 months after randomization
Overall survival
The overall survival will be analyzed at the end of study (3 year of recruitment and one year of follow-up).
Time frame: At the end of the study
Clinical response rate
Clinical response rate at time of surgery: Clinical tumour response will be measured according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria
Time frame: at time of surgery -
Metabolic response rate
Metabolic response rate at time of surgery (in selected centres only, optional): Metabolic tumour response will be measured according to the EORTC criteria . PET-Scan evaluation remains optional to selected centres only.

post operative complications
. Severe pre- or postoperative complications within 30 days of surgery: * surgery-associated bleeding requiring replacement with \> 4 units of erythrocyte concentrates, * wound infection, * intra-abdominal infection, * severe sepsis (American College of Chest physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine, 1992), * impaired wound healing, * subphrenic or perihepatic abscess requiring drainage during hospital stay or within 30 days after the operation, * re-laparotomy connected with the resection, * a biliary fistula for more than 10 days with a discharge of \> 100 mL/day, * transient liver failure (bilirubin \> 10 mg/dL lasting \> 3 days), * renal failure requiring dialysis, * respiratory failure with renewed necessary mechanical ventilation, venous thromboembolism, * cardiac failure, * death of the patient as a result of the operation.
Time frame: one month after surgery
Curative resection rate
Curative resection rate (R0 resection) is defined by the surgical clearance (+/- radiofrequency ablation) of all detectable hepatic lesions with tumor-free margins at histo-pathological evaluation.
Time frame: At time of surgery
Chemotherapy-associated hepatotoxicity:
Systemic neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in mCRC frequently causes morphological lesions involving hepatic microvasculature . Sinusoidal obstruction, complicated by perisinusoidal fibrosis and veno-occlusive lesion of the non tumoral liver, should be included in the list of the adverse side-effects of colorectal systemic chemotherapy, in particular related to the use of oxaliplatin.
Time frame: at time of surgery
