Liver is the most common site of metastasis in colorectal cancer. Hepatectomy as the treatment choice for patients seem to offer long-term survival and be the only chance for cure.The advent of aggressive interventions such as two-stage hepatectomy with portal vein embolization/ligation (PVE/PVL) and associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS), high-effective chemotherapy regimen associated with targeted medicine and various ablation treatments has expanded the definition of hepatic resectability. But according to the recent resectability standard, there are still considerable differences in surgical decision making. To further illustrate this issue, we therefore investigate the resectability of colorectal liver metastasis.
