Abstract
This review focuses on a variety of recent strategies that have been designed to increase the pool of patients with colorectal liver metastases for whom curative treatment may be possible. These strategies include improved preoperative staging techniques, new standards for surgical resection, novel surgical strategies, the application of modern systemic chemotherapy in a neoadjuvant setting, an emerging role for ablative therapies and an emphasis on the collaborative, multidisciplinary management of this disease.Keywords
