Resection of Nonresectable Liver Metastases from Colorectal Cancer After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Abstract

Liver resection may be achieved in some previously unresectable patients with the help of an effective chemotherapy. The benefit in survival seems comparable to that obtained with primary liver resection (40% at 5 years). This therapeutic strategy involves a multimodal approach, including repeat hepatectomies and extrahepatic surgery.
