Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology surgical standards for resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases

J Surg Oncol. 2022 Jul;126(1):28-36. doi: 10.1002/jso.26879.

Abstract

The management of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) has become complex because of the increasing availability of medical, radiological, and surgical treatment options applied either alone or in combination. However, resection remains the only evidence-based curative therapy. These Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology surgical standards are intended to guide clinicians in the decision-making process for modern surgical management of CRLM within a multidisciplinary team in an evidence-based framework, focusing on resectable disease.

Keywords: colorectal liver metastasis; colorectal neoplasms; liver neoplasms; neoplasm metastasis; surgical standards.
