Abstract:
The latest hepatic surgical strategies enable liver resections to be performed on a larger number of patients, improving the survival rate. Moreover, the contribution of radiological techniques and chemotherapy to surgery has led to the multidisciplinary management of patients suffering from liver metastases, involving surgeons, radiologists and oncologists. If surgical treatment is not considered curative, it is appropriate to advise alternative strategies in order to down-stage the disease and make it resectable.
