About this book

Surgery is the gold standard treatment of colorectal liver metastases. Patients management had a dramatic evolution during the past years: more accurate diagnostic tools and more effective chemotherapy regimens have been introduced and surgical indications have been widely broadened. A multidisciplinary treatment is now mandatory, involving oncologists, radiologists an gastroenterologists. However, many topics are still debated. In the present book all aspects of surgical treatment of colorectal liver metastases are analyzed based on a systematic, updated analysis of the literature. Aim of this book is to provide surgeons, oncologists and radiologists a clear overview of the state-of-the-art of treatment of colorectal liver metastases.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“The aim is to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based guide to the role of surgery in the multidisciplinary treatment of colorectal liver metastases. … It addresses a clinically important disease process and will be of great benefit to all surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and other medical practitioners who care for patients with colorectal liver metastases. … Finally, the images, figures, and tables are all of the highest quality and further enhance what is a great resource.” (Zoe Stewart, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2011)
