862Background: Recent data suggest resection of colorectal metastases after second-line chemotherapy offers similar overall survival (OS) benefit compared to what described in first-line. The improvement in response rate with FA in second-line may increase the number of patients eventually undergo metastases resection. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 32 patients from 26 Spanish hospitals who underwent surgical resection after FA in ORF-CRC in real-life setting. Our aim was to analyze the impact of metastases resection in different organs (liver, lung, etc.) in terms of OS and progression-free survival (PFS) and post-surgical mortality and morbidity. Results: Clinical characteristics: Median age: 65 years (43-83). Sex: 78.1% male, 21.9% female. ECOG 0/1 53.1/46.9%. Ras: wild-type/mutated 25/75%. Type of tumor: colon 75.0%, rectal 25.0%. Location: right 28.1%, transverse 9.4%, and left-side 62.5%. Previous treatment: oxaliplatin combinations (100%), bevacizumab 37.5%, cetuximab 21.97%. Ras...
