Assessment tools and surgical treatment strategies of synchronous colorectal cancer liver metastasis / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

At present, the medical system vigorously promotes multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model(MDT), and the timing of liver surgery for synchronous colorectal cancer with liver metastasis(sCRLM) is the focus of expert discussion. The same sCRLM case in different hospital or the different experts is likely to be a different treatment. On the one hand, that reflects the individualized characteristics of MDT. But on the other hand, it also reflects the lack of objective evaluation tools in sCRLM. The purpose of this study is to review the commonly used scoring tools of sCRLM, and to discuss the controversies of simultaneous or staged surgery for liver metastases, so as to inspire the clinical practice in this field.
