Aggressive Surgical Approach

At present, aggressive surgical approach in combination with perioperative chemotherapy allows to extend indications for surgical intervention in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, since only a radical liver resection provides better long-term survival. Contrast enhancement imaging techniques are important before considering treatment options to identify patients with resectable and potentially resectableliver metastases. Our study evaluated the qualitative and quantitative parameters of thedynamic enhancement pattern of liver metastases. This review will be analyzed the results of liver contrast-enhanced ultrasound studies in 104 patients with secondary colorectal liver metastases before primary tumor resection, as well as the monitoring of systemic chemotherapy and post-ablation follow-up to access treatment respond.

Pre Treatment

Background and Aim: Colorectal cancer is a common cancer in the Nordic countries and 50% of the patients develop liver metastases. Liver resection may result in long term survival. Proper staging is therefore essential and CT is the standard imaging modality. We examined whether additional FDG-PET improves therapeutic management of patients with colorectal liver metastases. Patients and Methods: Fifty-four consecutive patients were enrolled. Each patient had a treatment plan made based on our standard evaluation. The patients then had a PET scan and the treatment plan was re-evaluated, taking these results into account. Results: In 76% of the cases, PET did not change the treatment plan due to complete concordance with CT. In another 19% of the cases, the plan was altered due to finding of more liver lesions by PET than by CT (four patients), fewer or no liver lesions (three patients), and extrahepatic lesions not visible on CT (three patients). In 5% of the cases, non-concordance between PET and CT did not change the therapeutic plan. Conclusion: Pre-treatment FDG-PET, used supplementary to CT, improved the treatment plan in one fifth of the patients with colorectal liver metastases.

Nonresponse to pre-operative chemotherapy does not preclude long-term survival after liver resection in patients with colorectal liver metastases

Neuroendocrine Liver Metastases

Management of Neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM) is challenging. The presence of NELM worsens survival outcome and almost 10% of all liver metastases are neuroendocrine in origin. There is no firm consensus on the optimal treatment strategy for NELM. A systematic search of the PubMed database was performed from 1995–2010, to collate the current evidence and formulate a sound management algorithm. There are 22 case series with a total of 793 patients who had undergone surgery for NELM. The overall survival ranges from 46–86% at 5 years, 35–79% at 10 years, and the median survival ranges from 52–123 months. After successful cytoreductive surgery, the mean duration of symptom reduction is between 16–26 months, and the 5-year recurrence/progression rate ranges from 59–76%. Five studies evaluated the efficacy of a combination cytoreductive strategy reporting survival rate of ranging from 83% at 3 years to 50% at 10 years. To date, there is no level 1 evidence comparing surgery versus other liver-directed treatment options for NELM. An aggressive surgical approach, including combination with additional liver-directed procedures is recommended as it leads to long-term survival, significant long-term palliation, and a good quality of life. A multidisciplinary approach should be established as the platform for decision making.
