    Annals of Surgery
    |February 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hepatic resection for liver metastases offers a survival benefit. This surgery can be performed with acceptable morbidity and low mortality, prolonging patient survival.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary surgery
    • Surgical oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Metastatic liver cancer significantly reduces one-year survival rates.
    • Surgical intervention for isolated liver metastases is a critical consideration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of hepatic resection for isolated liver metastases.
    • To assess the survival rates and complications associated with this procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 21 patients undergoing hepatic resection between 1974 and 1981.
    • Procedures included trisegmentectomy, lobectomies, segmentectomies, and wedge resections.
    • Life-table analysis was used to determine survival rates; CEA half-life was calculated in a subset of patients.

    Main Results:

    • Overall 7-year survival rate was 34%.
    • Patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma (16) had a 7-year survival rate of 29% post-resection.
    • Operative morbidity was 43% and mortality was 5%.

    Conclusions:

    • Hepatic resection for isolated liver metastases is feasible with acceptable morbidity and low mortality.
    • The procedure can lead to prolonged patient survival.
    • CEA serum half-life analysis provides insights into tumor marker clearance post-surgery.
