| Article Title: | Surgical therapy of hepatic colorectal metastasis |
| Abstract: | This review summarizes data demonstrating the safety and efficacy of liver resection for colorectal metastases. Hepatic resection in appropriately selected patients remains the only potentially curative treatment for patients with such metastases. Recommendations for preoperative patient evaluation, patient selection, adjuvant therapy, and postoperative follow-up are presented. Other surgical modalities utilized in the treatment of unresectable or recurrent hepatic colorectal metastases, including ablative modalities and surgical delivery of regional chemotherapy, are described. |
