Abstract
Conventional management of hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer has been a frustrating endeavor. Systemic chemotherapy, hepatic radiation, and hepatic arterial embolization or ligation have low response rates; few patients are eligible for partial hepatectomy to eradicate anatomically limited disease; and the role of liver-directed therapy with drugs in patients with metastases confined to the liver remains uncertain.
