How to treat liver metastasis of colon cancer

First of all: for colon cancer liver metastasis, the most common treatment is still surgical resection. The median survival time of resectable patients is about 35 months, and the 5-year survival rate is about 30-50%.

Secondly, active treatment measures should be taken for some patients with unresectable liver metastases, so as to transform the unresectable liver metastases into resectable ones and improve the therapeutic effect as much as possible.

Finally, 3-6 cycles of chemotherapy before the resection of metastatic lesions does not affect the resection rate of liver metastases, and can prolong the disease-free survival. The premise of secondary resection is also radical resection of liver metastases.
