Treatment of Hepatic Metastases of Colorectal Cancer

This book aims to be the definitive work of reference on the treatment of hepatic metastases of colorectal origin. The analysis of an original series of more than 2000 hepatectomies carried out for hepatic metastases or recurrent hepatic metastases is the largest reported up to the present time and answers many of the current questions relating to this type of surgery. The book aims to be of practical use. It provides surgeons, gastroenterologists, oncologists and general physicians with the facts on which a treatment policy may be based, whether this be surgical or chemotherapeutic. It also supploes an up to date reference source on the biology of hepatic metastases and the relevant experimental models.
