Abstract

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers diagnosed worldwide. While the incidence of colorectal cancer has been declining since the adoption of screening colonoscopy, the findings of liver metastasis are still found in up to 25% of patients at diagnosis. The management of liver metastasis has evolved over the past two to three decades, and survival rates have improved secondary to improved systemic therapy, surgical options, and local therapies. In this article, we aim to review the available surgical and ablative options for management of colorectal liver metastasis, as well as appropriate imaging and patient selection.

Keywords
