Abstract
Radical Hepatic Resections For Metastatic Liver Disease Have Been Infrequently Done And Widely Criticized. Seven Patients Are Evaluated Who Had Trisegmentectomies Performed For Extensive Liver Metastases From Colorectal Primaries. There Was 1 Postoperative Death. Of The 6 Evaluable Patients, 4 (66%) Were Alive At 12 Months. Mean Survival Curently Exceeds 20 Months With The Longest Survivor Alive At 41 Months. Radical Hepatic Resections May Offer This Group Of βHopelessβ Patients Many Months Of Productive Life.

We examined the RNA content of the gene encoding angiopoietin (Ang)-2, a modifier of angiogenesis, in hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer (CRC) to explore the role of this protein in neovascularization of metastatic foci. Metastatic CRC exhibited notable blood flow and tumor vessel formation at
Increasingly effective systemic chemotherapy has improved responses in patients with previously unresectable colorectal hepatic metastases. In the future, response to chemotherapy may define a new population of patients that may benefit from hepatic resection. A retrospective review to determine the
## Abstract A proliferation of new cytotoxic and biologic agents has led to improved survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The ability of surgery to increase longβterm survival in patients with liver and/or lung metastases also has been firmly established. It has become inc
