Surgical resection remains one of the major curative treatment options available to patients with colorectal liver metastases. Surgery and chemotherapy form the backbone of the treatment in patients with colorectal liver metastases. With more effective chemotherapy regimens being available, the optimal timing and sequencing of treatments are important. A multidisciplinary approach with the involvement of medical oncologists and surgical oncologists from the beginning is crucial. Identification of the clinical and molecular prognostic factors may help personalize the treatment approaches for these patients. This article provides an overview of the surgical management of colorectal liver metastases.

Introduction Selected patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) and synchronous extrahepatic disease (EHD) are considered for surgery. Objectives To evaluate the change in surgical management and long-term survival (disease-free survival [DFS] and overall survival [OS]) for patients with CRLM and EHD who undergo positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET-CT) vs no PET-CT. Methods Patients with CRLM were enrolled in a trial evaluating the effect of PET-CT (vs no PET-CT) on surgical management, DFS, and OS. This is a sub-study of the trial, including only patients with synchronous EHD. Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate risks for recurrence and death. Survival were described by Kaplan-Meier method and compared with log-rank test. Results Of 25 patients with EHD (PET-CT arm: 14/270 (5%) and no PET-CT arm: 11/134 (8%)), PET-CT changed surgical management in 14%, all of which avoided liver resection due to more extensive disease. Complete metastasectomy was achieved in 36% (5/14) and 72% (8/11), respectively. Respectively, PET-CT vs no PET-CT had statistically similar median DFS, 5.6 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 3.6-18) vs 7.6 months (95% CI 2.9-15) and median OS, 42 months (95% CI 25-48) vs 29 months (95% CI 17-41). EHD was associated with worse DFS (hazard ratio HR = 1.89, 95% CI 1.41-2.52) and OS (HR = 2.47, 95% CI 1.6-3.83). Conclusions Preoperative PET-CT for the management of resectable CRLM did not improve long-term outcomes among patients who had synchronous EHD; however, it changed surgical management in a relatively significant proportion of patients.

562 Background: The PETCAM randomized trial evaluated the effect of preoperative PET-CT (vs. no PET-CT) on surgical management in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases. In this study, 8% of patients had a change in surgical management, including a higher proportion of major liver resections in the PET-CT arm. The current study compares the intervention groups for 5-year disease free (DFS) and overall survival (OS), and evaluated their long-term clinical course, i.e. sites of recurrence and management of disease recurrence. Methods: Recruitment to the trial occurred between 2005-2010, with last follow-up in 2013. Data on recurrence, management of recurrence and mortality from 2013-2017 was collected from patient’s charts. Recurrences according to site and management were described. Cox proportional Hazard Models were used to calculate the risk for recurrence and death. OS was calculated with Kaplan-Meir method and compared with log-rank test. Results: At 5 years, 157 of 404 (39%) patients were still alive and 19 patients were lost to follow-up. Median follow-up is 4.2 years. There were no differences in DFS (HR: 1.12, 95%CI: 0.88-1.42) or OS (HR: 0.97, 95%CI: 0.74-1.28) between groups. The median DFS for the 372 patients who had surgery was 17 months, 95%CI: 14.7-19.4. Risks factors for recurrence were: extrahepatic disease, liver tumour size, and nodal stage. The median OS for all patients was 50 months, 95%CI: 43.5-64.3. Risks factors for death also included age and prior use of chemotherapy. During the follow-up period, 287/404, 71% patients recurred (mostly liver and lung); 137 (48%) were treated solely with chemotherapy and 35% were treated with surgery with curative intent. Of these, the majority recurred (109/116, 94%). The median OS following first recurrence was 27.5 months, 95%CI: 23-30. Conclusions: PET-CT did not improve DFS or OS. Survival following liver resection is similar to previous reports, however most patients experience disease recurrence. A substantial proportion of patients who recur undergo surgery, however it is likely that they will recur again.
