Preoperative evaluation of resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases with positron emission tomography (PET) combined with computed tomography (PET‐CT) is used extensively. The PETCAM trial evaluated the effect of PET‐CT (intervention) vs no PET‐CT (control) on surgical management. PET‐CT resulted in 8% change in surgical management, therefore, we aimed to compare long‐term outcomes (disease‐free [DFS], overall survival [OS]).
