AI Article Synopsis
- The management of simultaneous liver metastasis from colorectal cancer (SCRLM) is debated, with hepatic metastasectomy being the preferred option when feasible.
- Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) serves as a less invasive alternative for patients unwilling or unsuitable for surgery or long-term chemotherapy.
- This report discusses two cases where surgery was combined with RFA and adjuvant chemotherapy, suggesting a potential approach for achieving local control of liver metastases in select patients.
Article Abstract
The therapeutic management of simultaneous liver metastasis of colorectal cancer(SCRLM)remains controversial. Although hepatic metastasectomy is the first choice for resectable liver metastasis of colorectal cancer, radiofrequency ablation (RFA)is one of the least invasive application for patients who refuse more invasive treatment such as hepatectomy and longterm systemic chemotherapy or for whom such treatment is not suitable. We report 2 cases of SCRLM treated by surgery combined with intraoperative RFA and adjuvant chemotherapy, raising the possibility of local control in the liver for selected patients.
