3575 Background: The simultaneous resecting both colorectal cancer and liver metastases is a safety and efficacy surgical procedure for treating colorectal cancer patients with liver metastases (CRCLM).The safety and efficacy of robot-assisted simultaneous resection of CRCLM is unclear. Furthermore, what kind of selective CRCLM patients would obtain benefits from robotic procedure need identify. The aim of this study was designed to compare robotic procedure with open surgery, and establish robotic surgery indications to identify benefit population of CRCLM. Methods: CRCLM patients were evaluated and confirmed with surgical indication by multidisciplinary team (MDT), and randomized to two groups, robotic arm (n = 58) and open arm (n = 57). The primary endpoint is 3-year DFS, the second endpoints include short-term surgical outcomes, complications and safety. Results: A total of 115 patients were randomized between September 2013 and September 2016. Despite longer operating time, patients assigned to robot-assisted surgery had less blood loss (100ml vs. 150ml, P < 0.001), a shorter time to pass first flatus (3 d vs. 4 d, P < 0.001) and return to diet (3 d vs. 5 d, P = 0.002), shorter hospital stay with improved sexual function. Furthermore, followed benefits were observed in robotic arm versus open arm: lower serum C reactive protein (CRP) level on postoperative day 1 (POD1) (16 mg/L vs. 37 mg/L,P < 0.001), and POD3 (112 mg/L vs. 160 mg/L, P < 0.001), lower level of liver transaminase on POD5, and lower liver-related complication morbidity(10.3% vs 28.1%, p = 0.016). In addition, we identified and recommended selective CRCLM patients with the number of liver metastases < 3, maximal tumor size < 5cm, tumor not located in segment I to accept robotic procedure. Conclusions: We identified and recommended selective CRCLM patients to accept robotic surgery for treating liver metastases. Robotic surgery result in similar safety as open procedure, with shorter recovery time, decreased morbidity, and improved sexual function. Clinical trial information: NCT02642978.

Colorectal cancer is a worldwide public health issue, presenting an advanced stage at diagnosis in more than 20% of patients. Liver metastases are the most common metastatic sites and are not indicated for resection in 80% of cases. Unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastases that are refractory to systemic chemotherapy may benefit from transarterial chembolization with irinotecan-loaded beads (DEBIRI). Several studies show the safety and efficacy of DEBIRI for the treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastases. The development of transarterial chembolization and the introduction of new embolics have contributed to better outcomes of DEBIRI. This article reviews the current literature on DEBIRI reporting its use, efficacy in terms of tumor response and survival and side effects.
