Abstract

With recent advances in chemotherapy and surgery, resectability of colorectal liver metastases (CLM) has dramatically increased and 5-year survival has significantly improved. In this chapter, we review the evaluation, treatment, and outcome of patients treated with surgery for colorectal liver metastases. Methods to improve resectability (portal vein embolization and two-stage resection) are reviewed. Major pathologic response, optimal radiologic response, and RAS tumor predict improved 5-year survival after resection in patients treated preoperatively with modern chemotherapy.
