Abstract
BACKGROUND:Large numbers of synchronous colorectal liver metastases are associated with poor prognosis. CASE REPORT:A 47-year-old male patient with rectal cancer and unresectable colorectal liver metastases (over 15 cm in diameter and over 30 metastases) was treated with a multidisciplinary treatment including systemic chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6/panitumumab and surgical therapies (colostomy, modified associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy together with radiofrequency ablation). For solitary recurrent colorectal liver metastases, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation with chemoembolization and open radiofrequency ablation in combination with the same systemic chemotherapy was performed. Since the diagnosis 3 years ago, he has been leading a good quality of life, free of any tumor or treatment. CONCLUSION:For patients with far-advanced but liver-only colorectal liver metastases, surgical therapy, systemic chemotherapy, and interventional treatment can be important for achieving good prognosis.
