Schlag, M. Hünerbein, P. Hohenberger] Operative Therapie von Lebermetastasen Summary: Background: Surgical resection is the only treatment modality that provides the chance of cure for patients with metastatic spread to the liver. Methods: This report reviews the indication, technique and results of surgical resection of liver metastases. Results: Most of the data on hepatic resection for metastatic disease relates to colorectal secondaries. Generally 5-year survival rates between 30 and 40% have been reported after surgical treatment of liver metastases originating from colorectal cancer. The operative mortality ranges between 0 and 5%. However these positive results are only obtained in patients with less than 4 metastases and without extrahepatic spread. Consequently careful preoperative staging is mandatory to identify patients who are likely to benefit of operative treatment. The criteria for the indication for liver resection of non-colorectal liver metastases have not yet been defined clearly. For such tumors the prognosis after liver resection is significantly poorer compared to patients with colorectal malignancy. Conclusions: Surgical resection of liver metastases from colorectal cancer can improve the prognosis in selected patients and even result in cure. In contrast liver resection in patients with non-colorectal primaries rarely results in improved prognosis.
