Core Tip This article discusses the effect of portal vein embolization (PVE) on colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) growth and the suggested methods of prevention. In addition to presenting the various experimental and clinical studies emphasizing the suggested tumoral enhancing effect of PVE, this article highlights the concept of reversal of chemotherapy response, a potential effect occurring after PVE. This observation may impact significantly subsequent patients’ management as it may affect the resectability state of patients. Moreover, potential methods to prevent tumor growth are discussed in this article, indicating the need for further research in this field and highlighting the complex interaction between CRLM and liver regeneration milieu.
