Liver resection for colorectal metastases

Abstract: Liver resection is the only curative treatment for patients with colorectal metastases. The long-term survival reported in patients with resected colorectal metastases confined to the liver is comparable to primary surgery for solid gastrointestinal tumours. Every attempt must be made to increase the availability of liver resection to patients with hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer.

“…Reported survival rates in series of over 200 patients are in the range of 30% to 37%. [13][14][15][16][17][18] In this nonselected series, the 5-year survival rate is lower, suggesting that prognosis may not be as good as reported in some single-center series. Surgical resection should be discussed within multidisciplinary settings in every case and should be proposed when a complete resection can be achieved.…”

“…3,6,15,19,24,25 For these studies, a weighted mean was calculated using the number of patients in each subcategory and the corresponding percentage survival, to compute percentage survival for the whole <1 cm negative margin subgroup. Some studies 3,5,14,18,21,26 categorized negative margins as "≤1 cm and >1 cm," whereas others 6,8,9,[15][16][17]19,20,[23][24][25]27 used "<1 cm and ≥1 cm" for negative margins. Hughes et al 22 used "<1 cm and >1 cm" subcategories for negative margins in their study.…”

“…Como consecuencia de esto, la mayor sobrevida a largo plazo se obtuvo con la cirugía hepática resectiva, de carácter curativa. Así, en los enfermos que fueron resecados, la sobrevida fue de 35,6% y en aquellos en que la resección fue curativa (R0) se alcanzó una sobrevida a 5 años de 46,2%, hecho comparable a lo comunicado por centros de referencia mundial (Tabla 1) 11,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] .…”
