Abstract

The management of colorectal liver metastases has evolved in the last decades from palliative and best supportive care to expectation of long-term survival and cure in some cases. Besides the advances in imaging staging, identification of significant prognostic factors, development of new surgical techniques and strategies, more effective radiological interventional treatments, introduction of new drugs and drug regimens, and improvement of perioperative care, it has been the implementation of dedicated multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) that has made a difference toward better care. This chapter addresses the impact of MDT in the management of colorectal liver metastases.
