Abstract
The liver is the dominant site of metastasis for patients with colorectal cancer. For those with isolated liver metastases, surgical resection with systemic therapy has led to long-term remission in as high as 80% of patients in well-selected cohorts. This review will focus on how systemic therapy should be integrated with resection of liver metastases; in particular, the use of clinical risk scores based on clinicopathological features that help with patient selection, various approaches to the treatment of micro-metastatic disease (peri-operative versus post-operative chemotherapy), as well as conversion chemotherapy for those with initially upfront unresectable disease will be discussed.
