The Relationship Between Postoperative Chemotherapy and Remnant Liver Regeneration and Outcomes After Hepatectomy for Colorectal Liver Metastasis

Background Postoperative chemotherapy for treating colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) has been introduced with the aim of improving therapeutic outcomes. However, there is no consensus on the utility of multidisciplinary treatments with postoperative chemotherapy. Therefore, we evaluated surgical outcomes in patients with CLMs who underwent hepatectomy, while focusing on the effects of post-hepatectomy chemotherapy on remnant liver regeneration.
