For patients with initially resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases who have high-risk factors, neoadjuvant therapy is currently considered a consensus approach. However, there is ongoing debate regarding the optimal treatment strategy. Our study aims to investigate whether the addition of cetuximab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves outcomes compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone. The objective of this phase III clinical trial is to determine whether the combination of cetuximab and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy is superior to neoadjuvant mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy alone for patients with initially resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases who have wild-type RAS/BRAF and high-risk factors.
Primary • To determine whether the addition of cetuximab to neoadjuvant mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy results in improved event-free survival when compared with neoadjuvant mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy alone in patients with high-risk \& RAS/BRAF-wild-type \& resectable colorectal liver metastases. Secondary * To evaluate the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens. * To evaluate the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens. * To evaluate the preoperative remission rate, safety, surgical complications, actual resection rate, pathological resection status of patients treated with these regimens.

Cetuximab + mFOLFOX6: Cetuximab (500mg/m2 IV ) will be given. Oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2 IV over 2 h on day 1), Leucovorin calcium (350 mg/m2 IV over 2 h on day 1) plus a bolus of 5FU (400 mg/m2) followed by a 46h-48h IV infusion of 5FU 2400 mg/m2 will be repeated for every 2 weeks. The regimens repeat every 2 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Event-free survival
The Event-free survival (EFS) was defined as the period from the start of initial medication to the date of tumor relapse, progression, or death
Time frame: 3 years
overall survival
The overall survival (OS) was defined as the period from the start of initial medication until death from any cause, at which point the data was censored.
Time frame: 5 years
postoperative hospital stay
The postoperative hospital stay is defined as the number of date from the first day after operation to discharge.
Time frame: 30 days post operatively
postoperative complication
Patients will be evaluated for surgical morbidity during 1 month. Postoperative morbidity will be scored according 'Clavien-Dindo Grade'.
Time frame: After surgery during one month
postoperative mortality
any death occured within 90 days after the last resection of primary and metastatic lesions
Time frame: After surgery during 90 days
