Predictors of Early Recurrence and Survival Outcomes Following Curative Resection for Colorectal Liver Metastases and the Role of Salvage Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study
In a retrospective cohort of 109 patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal liver metastases, high tumor burden, major intraoperative blood loss, T3/T4 primary disease, and RAS mutation were associated with early recurrence. Selected patients undergoing salvage re-hepatectomy had favorable long-term survival, but small subgroups and strong selection bias prevent causal conclusions.
