“…The preponderance (80%) of these recurrences will be within the first 2 years following apparent curative primary tumor resection 2. Strategies to identify parenchymal metastases are well worthwhile, as 5‐year survival following resection of isolated liver or lung metastasis is consistently reported to be 25%‐40% . Despite careful preoperative screening and selection, additional hepatic or extra‐hepatic (nodal) metastases are identified in 35% of patients at exploratory laparotomy, obviating the proposed liver resection 6.…”

Abstract:Approximately two-thirds of metastatic lesions that develop following curative resection of colorectal cancer occur in the liver and lung. In select groups of patients, resection of these lesions is associated with increased 5-year survival. In the liver, precise preoperative documentation of the presence, location, number, and relationship of these lesions to vascular structure is crucial in the selection of candidates for curative resection. Computed tomography with arterial portography (CTAP), intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS), positron emission tomographic (PET) scan, and radionuclide scanning, including radiolabeled monoclonal antibody imaging, are emerging as the procedures of choice in the preoperative and intraoperative evaluation of metastatic c01orectal cancer to the liver.
