Abstract:
The incidence of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) has been gradually increased in recent years. Surgical resection is the most important treatment method for CRLM patients, but the recurrence rate was as high as 60%-70% after surgical resection. Therefore, it is very important to clarify the high-risk prognostic factors for tumor recurrence in patients with CRLM after surgery. Based on the prognostic factors we can accurately evaluate the biological behavior of each patient before surgery and select suitable preoperative chemotherapy regimen, timing and method of localized treatment for them. Thereby the survival benefit from surgical resection of those patients could be maximized. In this article we discussed several important factors affecting the tumor recurrence and survival of patients with CRLM undergoing surgical resection, including clinical risk factor score, preoperative chemotherapy response, the genetic status and the primary tumor location, and explain in detail.
