Abstract

The treatment of liver metastases has become more and more complex in recent years. More individualized therapeutic concepts have become feasible by the increase in different treatment options (surgical, interventional and oncological). In the field of surgery the definition of resectability could be broadened. More extensive liver resections are being performed, which are partly carried out as staged resections after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in combination with portal vein embolization (PVE), radio frequency ablation (RFA) or other procedures in order to increase complete resection rates and patient survival. Consequently the overall 5 year survival rate of patients with resected colorectal liver metastases has doubled from 30% to nearly 60% in the past decade. Due to the complexity of the different treatment approaches an interdisciplinary assessment of the individual patient in experienced centers is necessary.
