Abstract
Metastases from primary gastrointestinal cancers to the liver contribute to the morbidity and mortality of up to 25% of all cancer patients. The prognosis of patients with liver metastases from a primary tumour in colon or rectum is poor, i.e., 70% of them will die within one year and at two years only 8–10% remain alive [1]. Surgical resection is the only current means of achieving a cure for unilobar liver colorectal metastases resulting in survival times of more than 5 years. Despite recent advances in early diagnosis and general patient care, less than 5% of all cases of colorectal cancer metastatic to liver and about 10% of all primary hepatocellular carcinomas are truly resectable for cure [1–4]. As extensive trials with systemic chemotherapy and hepatic arterial occlusion, either by ligation or by embolisation, have yielded disappointing response rates, the treatment of liver metastases still constitutes a major oncologic challenge [5,6].
