primary tumour without gross or microscopic evidence of residual disease. or

primary tumour more than 1 month before study or Diagnosis of resectable synchronous
metastases with sufficient evidence (i.e., CT scan or diagnostic laparoscopy) that
both the primary tumour and liver metastases can be completely resected during the

x UNL
