Abstract:
Surgical resection is currently the only cure treatment for colorectal carcinoma liver metastasis (CRLM). The efficien-cy of surgical resection has improved with the development of systemic chemotherapy and targeted drugs and the application of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in recent years. The number of patients benefiting from surgery has gradually increased. The progression of surgical techniques such as radiofrequency ablation and staged hepatectomy provides chances of cure for patients with CRLM. Multi-disciplinary team creates the opportunity of individual diagnosis and treatment for growing number of patients with CRLM, which, in turn, promotes the treatment of CRLM to a more precise future.
