Abstract
Radical liver surgery for CLM is possible in about 30% of patients with 40-50% five year overal survival. The results of liver surgery depend on various factors including the extent of CLM, characteristics of the primary colorectal carcinoma, exact preoperative diagnosis and optimal timing of the surgery by a multidisciplinary team.
Conclusion: Liver surgery is the main treatment option of CLM. Although the procedure is associated with many limits, these limits can be influenced by the strategy and tactics of the diagnostic proces and treatment methods as determined by the multidisciplinary team.
