Survival and Prognostic Factors of Colorectal Liver Metastases After Surgical and Nonsurgical Treatment

摘要

In this study, we prospectively analyzed the survival of 506 patients with colorectal liver metastases. The outcome was compared after surgical and nonsurgical treatment side-by-side, and independent prognostic factors were identified. Importantly, surgical resection was associated with strongly improved survival, even when repeated resections were performed for recurrent metastases. Consequently, surgical treatment is the first choice for colorectal liver metastases.
