Book Description
This book offers a complete overview on non colorectal non neuroendocrine (NCRNNE) liver metastases and describes in detail the currently available therapies. Each chapter focuses on the treatment of metastases from a particular primary malignancy and also provides valuable information on incidence, natural history and diagnosis. NCRNNE liver metastases are rare entities compared with colorectal and neuroendocrine metastases, for which the treatments are well codified. While more publications have appeared on the topic in recent years, an in-depth study has to date been lacking. Furthermore, most published series are insufficiently comparable as they comprise patients with NCRNNE hepatic metastases from a variety of primary malignancies and consequently overlook differences in tumor behavior, frequency of isolated hepatic metastases, response to neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy and interval between diagnosis of the primary tumor and the liver metastases. This book, with its more specific approach, will serve not only as an up-to-date guide to diagnosis and treatment but also as a reference on which to base future studies.

Controversies in the Management of Liver Metastases
Author: Thomas M. van Gulik
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783805590471
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
While considerable progress has been made in both surgical treatment of liver metastases and neoadjuvant or postoperative chemotherapy, decision making has become more complex. The definition of accurate measures is very difficult because there exists no consensus regarding pre- or postoperative predictors of survival in patients undergoing liver resection: Even though PET is well established in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer and its metastases, it is unclear whether a combination of imaging modalities will be of additional value. Neoadjuvant strategies are very efficient in downsizing metastasis, but they at the same time reduce functional liver reserve due to chemotherapy-induced liver injury. The advantages and disadvantages of the 'liver first' approach are likewise discussed, as are controversial issues in the use of portal vein embolization and radiofrequency ablation versus resection. Even though the main focus of this publication is on colorectal liver metastases, other primary cancers also receive some attention: Papers on resection of liver metastases combined with primary cancers conclude the discussions. This collection of papers provides valuable information on the many issues connected with the management of liver metastases, both colorectal and non-colorectal. Surgeons confronted with the question as to the best treatment strategy will find it a very helpful aid in their decision process.
