Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Colorectal cancer represents one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, presenting an advanced stage at diagnosis in more than 20% of patients, with the liver being the most common metastatic site. Surgery is considered the only curative treatment but cannot be indicated in up to 80% of cases. For patients with unresectable liver metastases, image-guided thermal ablations and radiation therapy have been proposed as effective and safe therapeutic options with curative intent. Several improvements have also been achieved in the systemic therapy for patients with unresectable disease, aimed at disease control and survival improvement. Other treatment strategies such as transarterial chemoembolization or radioembolization have been applied and represent promising treatment options for patients.
In this Special Issue, the state of the art and most recent innovations in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases will be presented and discussed.
