Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A multidisciplinary collaboration is the cornerstone of success in managing patients with colorectal liver metastases. Hepatobiliary surgeons have achieved remarkable outcomes, but only thanks to increasing collaboration with all other disciplines involved in the field.
New horizons are emerging for all specialists, including innovative targeted therapies and immunotherapies, more precise ablation techniques, and internal and external radiation techniques. Even standard resection is no longer the same, with an increasing place taken by the robotic approach. Liver transplantation is gaining increasing prominence. It has the potential to bridge the gap for patients with unresectable disease and it could even replace resective surgery for those with a high tumor burden.
Addressing the challenges of the future requires a multidisciplinary team with continuously updated expertise, open dialog, and innovative, personalized treatment strategies.
In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight cutting-edge advances and explore emerging solutions in the multidisciplinary management of colorectal liver metastases. We invite research papers by surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, interventional and diagnostic radiologists and all other specialists across the multiple phases of care for these complex patients.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
