Summary

Liver metastases, common in digestive cancers, can be managed with adjuvant chemotherapy and locoregional treatments like Hepatic Intraarterial Chemotherapy (HIAC). Surgical resection offers the best survival, with repeat resections feasible for recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • The liver is a primary site for metastatic growth, particularly from digestive malignancies (DM).
  • Effective management of liver metastases is crucial for improving patient survival and reducing recurrence rates.
  • Current therapeutic strategies include systemic chemotherapy, locoregional treatments, and surgical resection.

Purpose:

  • To review current and investigational treatment strategies for liver metastases from digestive malignancies.
  • To highlight the efficacy of adjuvant therapies, locoregional treatments, and surgical resection.
  • To emphasize the importance of a staging system for rational therapeutic decision-making.

Summary:

  • Adjuvant systemic chemotherapies, such as fluorouracil-based regimens, reduce recurrence in Dukes C colon cancer.

  • Hepatic Intraarterial Chemotherapy (HIAC) achieves objective responses in over 50% of patients with colorectal metastases.
  • Complete (R0) hepatic resection offers the most effective treatment, with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 30% for colorectal metastases. Repeat resections are viable options for recurrent disease.

    • Impact:

    • Improved understanding of treatment options for liver metastases.
    • Potential for enhanced patient survival and quality of life through tailored therapeutic approaches.
    • Guidance for clinical decision-making in managing complex cases of hepatic metastases.
