[Treatment of metastatic liver tumors]

We had operated 72 patients for hepatic metastatic malignancies from 1991 to 2000. In 66 cases were colorectal metastases. Extend of operations were from no anatomical resections, segmentectomies to hemihepatectomies. Operating lethality was 5.5% and long time survival only 10%. In the same period we took arterial port for 22 patients for regional chemotherapy. Response rate was 20% patients. The first experience with radiofrequency ablation (we had 12 ablation procedure) show, that minimal invasive treatment (RFA) is good procedure for high-risk patients. If the patient is able to hepatic resection it will be still standard for treatment.
