| Core Tip |
At this stage, a clear definition and treatment policy for borderline resectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) has not been established. According to previous reports, borderline resectable for CRLM is oncologically highly malignant (simultaneous liver metastasis, multiple tumors, large tumor diameter, high level of carcinoembryonic antigen, extrahepatic lesions) or technically difficult (necessity of special procedures such as radiofrequency ablation, portal vein embolization, two-stage hepatectomy, and associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy for R0 resection or close to the main vessel), and hepatectomy after preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended as a treatment policy. |
