The modes of treatment included hepatic resection (n = 18), transarterial embolization (TAE, n = 17), chemotherapy only (C/T, n = 36), and no treatment (n = 47). In the 18 patients who underwent hepatic resection during the last 10 years, the types of surgery included: wedge resection (n = 8), segmentectomy (n = 2), right hepatic lobectomy (n = 5), left hepatic lobectomy (n = 2) and extended right hepatic lobectomy (n = 1). There were no operative mortalities in this series. The overall three-year actuarial survival rate of the resection group was 57.5%. It was better than that of the TAG group (17%, p < 0.05). For a solitary tumor, the three-year actuarial survival rate rose to 64% in the resection group. There were no three-year survivors in the nonsurgical solitary tumor group. This experience defends aggressive surgical treatment of resectable hepatic metastatic liver cancer from colorectal carcinoma as a safe procedure which is able to prolong a patient's life. |
