The actual management of colorectal liver metastases. Minerva Chir. 2020 Aug 06;: Authors: Pérez-Santiago L, Dorcaratto D, Garcés-Albir M, Muñoz-Forner E, Huerta Álvaro M, Roselló Keranën S, Sabater L Abstract Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent cancers in the world and between 50% and 60% of patients will develop colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) during the course of the disease. There have been great improvements in the management of CRLM during the last decades. The combination of modern chemotherapeutic and biological systemic treatments with aggressive surgical resection strategies is currently the base for the treatment of patients considered unresectable until few years ago. Furthermore, several new treatments for the local control of CRLM have been developed and are now part of the arsenal of multidisciplinary teams for the treatment of these complex patients. The aim of this review is to summarize and update the management of CRLM, its controversies and relevant evidence. PMID: 32773753 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
