Abstract
The management of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is complex and should be individualized to each patient. Resectable CRLM benefit from surgical resection, preferably minimally invasive and parenchymal sparing, when feasible. Ablation is a viable alternative. Chemotherapy in this setting is potentially indicated in select patients, however, it has a clear role in unresectable CRLM. Newer locoregional therapies may benefit some unresectable CRLM with resistance to chemotherapy. Liver transplantation, a new therapy on the horizon for unresectable disease, has encouraging preliminary long-term survival outcomes for carefully selected patients.
