Abstract

The overview deals with methods for evaluating the functional state of the hepatic parenchyma in patients with colorectal cancer while planning surgical treatment for liver metastases. The intact hepatic parenchyma should be estimated to reduce the risk of postoperative complications and mortality. Noninvasive diagnostic techniques fail to provide an objective assessment. Only a morphological study of parenchymal biopsy specimens will help rule out hepatic steatosis/ fibrosis and give surgeons information on the postresection liver remnant.
