About this book
This book provides a practically applicable guide to the management of liver metastases in cases of colorectal cancer. It features detailed reviews of the latest diagnostic and therapeutic options. Instruction on how to appropriately apply surgical techniques including two stage hepatectomy as well as both laprascopic and open resection in a variety of scenarios is covered. The use of systemic therapies involving oxaliplatin, immunotherapy and infusional therapy are also described along with a range of surveillance strategies.
Vauthey and Adam Colorectal Liver Metastasis comprehensively covers the latest advances in how to successfully diagnose and treat colorectal liver metastases and is an indispensable resource for all trainee and practicing medical professionals who encounter these patients within their clinical practice.

About the editors
Dr. Yoshikuni Kawaguchi is Deputy Chief (Inpatient Care) of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery Division in the Department of Surgery at The University of Tokyo. Dr. Kawaguchi co-authored more than 130 publications in peer-reviewed journals (h-index, 25). Dr. Kawaguchi’s interest in clinical research is to improve short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for hepato-biliary-pancreatic diseases. Dr. Kawaguchi proposed a novel 3-level classification system for open and minimally-invasive liver resection, which is associated with liver resection complexity and postoperative complications. Dr. Kawaguchi has recently worked with Dr. Vauthey to improve the understanding of multiple somatic mutations of colorectal liver metastases for clinical practices including accurate prognostication after resection and recurrence risk-adjusted surveillance algorithm.
Professor René Adam is president of the Medical Board of the Paul Brousse Hospital, Villejuif, France and head of the Oncological Surgery Unit of the Hepato Biliary Center. Since 1994, he has held the position of professor of surgery at the Faculty of Medicine Kremlin Bicêtre at Paris South University, Paris. Professor Adam’s main fields of activity and research are surgery of the liver, biliary tract and pancreas, and hepatic transplantation. He is particularly involved in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and of liver metastases.
