The presented clinical score may allow for patients with colorectal liver metastases to be stratified appropriately and for optimization of their subsequent therapeutic management.

TPTX+AT and TPTX seem to be safe and equally effective for the treatment of otherwise uncontrollable SHPT. TPTX seems to suppress PTH more effectively and showed no recurrences after 3 years. The hypothesis that TPTX is superior to TPTX+AT referring to the rate of recurrent SHPT has to be tested in a large-scale confirmatory trial. Nevertheless, TPTX seems to be a feasible alternative therapeutic option for the surgical treatment of SHPT.
