Book Chapter Description

Patients with liver metastases of colorectal origin present a huge challenge for public health care, representing approximately 1.2 million cases a year worldwide. In recent years, huge steps forward have been taken in their treatment, which is actually currently tailored to each patient, thereby maximizing the oncologic benefit. Multidisciplinary treatment encompasses surgical resection, administration of chemotherapy, and application of locoregional treatments, increasing the rate of resectability and, therefore, long-term survival. The recent advent of laparoscopic surgery has opened new strategies and even the possibility of a liver transplant can be considered as an alternative in certain cases.
