- Abstract
The article presents a study which aimed to delineate the pattern of tumor regression, as this might help to define the optimal surgical approach after chemotherapy for liver metastases. In this study, two groups of liver metastases patients were analyzed. The results of the study showed that all of the untreated metastases had well circumscribed borders. According to the authors, the findings support the practice of removing less liver after downsizing with chemotherapy.
