Surgical Management of Liver Metastases from Colorectal Carcinoma
Keyword(s):
AbstractColorectal carcinoma continues to be a leading cause in cancer-related mortality with more than 130,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the United States. About 50% of patients will develop colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). Liver resection continues to be the mainstay therapy in the management of CRLM and is associated with 25 to 60% 5-year survival. Alternative nonsurgical therapies offer modest survival when CRLM is unresectable. Herein, we provide an overview of key aspects of surgical approaches to the treatment of CRLM.
