Supporting Figure 12. Schematic drawing depicting the treatment efficacy for patients underwent
simultaneous resection or delayed resection. As shown by the blue region, simultaneous resection
within the selection criteria (minor liver resection, colon resection, age < 70 and no co-existent
severe condition) that were directly against to delayed resection were associated a higher
treatment efficacy. When patients did not meet the conditions, delayed resection was
recommended for safety consideration (green region). MCRLM, metachronous colorectal liver
