Abstract:
Colorectal cancer has the propensity to develop liver-dominant metastases.In some of these patients,the liver is the only site of metastatic disease.Thus,surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for liver-only colorectal cancer metastases,which can produce long-term survival in selected patients,but only 10%-20% of patients are suitable for a surgical approach.In this paper we introduced how to transfer the inoperable colorectal liver metastases to operable colorectal liver metastases through improved chemotherapy with /without molecular target therapy and multidisciplinary treatment approaches,and the results of radiofrequency ablation(RFA),which can also produce long-term survival in a subset of patients with colorectal liver metastasis or prolong survival duration.
