Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical resection of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) has been associated with improved survival in these patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of liver metastasectomy, also finding independent factors related to survival after liver metastasectomy. METHODS In a retrospective study, all patients with CRLM who underwent resection of liver metastases between 2012 and 2022 at Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex in Tehran, Iran, were enrolled. All patients were actively followed based on clinicopathologic and operative data. RESULTS A total of 248 patients with a median follow-up time of 46 months (Range, 12 to 122) were studied. Eighty-six patients (35.0%) underwent major hepatectomy, whereas 160 (65.0%) underwent minor hepatectomy. The median overall survival was 43 months (Range, 0 to 122 months), with estimated 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival rates of 91%, 56%, and 42%, respectively. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that a metastasis size > 6 cm, major hepatectomy, rectum as the primary tumor site, and involved margin (< 1 mm) were independent factors associated with decreased overall survival (OS). CONCLUSION Surgical resection is an effective treatment for patients with CRLM that is associated with relatively favorable survival. A negative margin of 1 mm seems to be sufficient for oncological resection.

Abstract
The annual postoperative disease-free survival for colorectal liver metastases can be easily estimated by weighting six preoperative clinical parameters (Beppu score). We identified three recurrence-risk stratification groups: the low (≤6 points), moderate (7-10 points), and high-risk (≥11 points). For low-, moderate-, and high-risk patients, hepatectomy alone, hepatectomy with adjuvant chemotherapy, and hepatectomy with preoperative chemotherapy are recommended, respectively. The Beppu score enables the decision on the necessity and timing of perioperative chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying the prognostic indicators that reflect the efficacy of preoperative chemotherapy is necessary. In this study, we investigated the prognostic indicators targeting the systemic inflammatory response for the administration of preoperative chemotherapy in patients with colorectal liver metastases. METHODS Data for 192 patients were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between overall survival and clinicopathological variables, including biomarkers such as the prognostic nutritional index, was investigated in patients who underwent upfront surgery or preoperative chemotherapy. RESULTS In the upfront surgery group, extrahepatic lesion (p=0.01) and low prognostic nutritional index (p < 0.01) were significant prognostic indicators, whereas a decrease in the prognostic nutritional index (p=0.01) during preoperative chemotherapy were independent poor prognostic factors in the preoperative chemotherapy group. In particular, a decrease in the prognostic nutritional index was a significant prognostic marker in patients aged <75 years (p=0.04). In patients with a low prognostic nutritional index aged <75 years, preoperative chemotherapy significantly prolonged overall survival (p=0.02). CONCLUSION A decrease in the prognostic nutritional index during preoperative chemotherapy predicted overall survival of patients with colorectal liver metastases after hepatic resection, and preoperative chemotherapy may be effective for patients aged <75 years with a low prognostic nutritional index.

Abstract
Cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is synthesized by tumor cells, including metastatic tumors, and circulates in the bloodstream. Evidence suggests that ctDNA is a potential predictive and prognostic biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC), but its predictive efficacy in detecting CRC liver metastasis (CLM) remains unclear. Additionally, its utility in the clinical setting needs further investigation. We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the utility of ctDNA as a biomarker for predicting the prognosis of CLM and investigate the relationship between CLM and ctDNA positivity. A literature search was performed in electronic databases to identify relevant studies published up to March 19, 2022. We retrieved data on overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) for both ctDNA-positive and ctDNA-negative colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) patients from the selected articles. Hazard ratios (HRs) were also calculated for these survival outcomes analysis was also performed. The stability of the combined meta-analysis was verified by sensitivity analysis and publication bias evaluation. Ten trials were included, and 615 patients were evaluated. In patients with CLM, pooled HRs revealed a substantial link between ctDNA positivity and RFS/DFS. Subgroup analysis revealed that ctDNA had a prospective detection value. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias evaluation indicated stable results. Although the results on pooled HR for OS suggested that ctDNA-positive patients had a shorter survival time, their pooled HRs had a relatively evident heterogeneity, and sensitivity analysis and publication bias evaluation indicated that pooled HRs were extremely unstable. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that ctDNA appears to be a prognostic biomarker for resectable CLM patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Existing literature on the safety of combined liver and colorectal resections for synchronous colorectal liver metastases is mixed. Using a retrospective review of our institutional data, we aimed to show that combined colorectal and liver resections for synchronous metastases is both feasible and safe in a quaternary center. METHODS A retrospective review of combined resections for synchronous colorectal liver metastases at a quaternary referral center from 2015 to 2020 was completed. Clinicopathologic and perioperative data was collected. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to identify risk factors for major postoperative complications. RESULTS One hundred one patients were identified, with 35 undergoing major liver resections ( ≥ 3 segments) and 66 undergoing minor liver resections. The vast majority of patients (94%) received neoadjuvant therapy. There was no difference in postoperative major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade 3+) between major and minor liver resections (23.9% versus 12.1%, P = 0.16). On univariate analysis, Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) score >1 (P < 0.05) was predictive of major complication. However, on multivariable regression analysis, no factor was associated with significantly increased odds of major complication. CONCLUSIONS This work demonstrates that with thoughtful patient selection, combined resection for synchronous colorectal liver metastases can be safely performed at a quaternary referral center.

Abstract
SummaryThis short review illustrates the benefits of a multidisciplinary team approach, especially when it comes to the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis. Therefore, the classification to resectable and primarily unresectable disease has to be determined prior to the first treatment decision. Particularly the use of conversion chemotherapy has the potential of altering initially unresectable liver metastasis to a potentially resectable disease. The three possible therapy choices for synchronously metastasized colorectal cancer will be reflected in this review, as well as local therapeutic alternatives or combinations.
