Analysis of Prognostic Factors Influencing Long‐term Survival After Hepatic Resection for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Abstract

No single prognostic factor proved to be associated with a sufficiently disappointing outcome to exclude patients from liver resection. However, in the presence of some prognostic factors (G3-G4 differentiation, preoperative CEA >5 ng/ml, high MSKCC-CRS), enrollment of patients in trials exploring new adjuvant treatments is suggested to improve the outcome after surgery.
