Induction Treatment for Initially Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases: Combined Hepatic Arterial Infusion Pump Therapy With Systemic Therapy

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate induction treatment with Hepatic Arterial Infusion Pump therapy combined with systemic therapy (HAIP-SYST) in chemotherapy-naive patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases without extrahepatic disease. The main question it aims to answer is if combined HAIP-SYST improves survival compared to induction treatment with systemic therapy alone. Patients in the control arm will receive systemic therapy according to standard of care. Study procedures experimental arm * Surgery for pump placement and resection of the primary tumor * Pre- and postoperative imaging (CT-anghiography, 99mTc-MAA scintigraphy) * Induction treatment with hepatic arterial infusion pump therapy with Floxuridine combined with systemic therapy Study procedures both arms * Evaluation of resectability status by a National Liver Panel with surgeons and radiologists * Questionnaires for Quality of Life
