Consensus of the European working group on CRC liver metastases Liver metastases Resectable • Not optimally resectable • Oncological (>1 factor) • >4 metastases • size >5cm • synchronous CRC liver metastases • primary LN-positive • positive tumour marker • Technically difficult • close to all hepatic veins • close to both portal branches Unresectableand neverlikely to beresectable Neoadjuvant chemotherapy± biologics Liver resection if sufficientresponse Palliativechemotherapy±biologics Liver resection
ERAS PROTOCOL Components
Mechanical Bowel PreparationColon cancer • Routine use of mechanical bowel preparation prior to elective colon cancer resection should be avoided Rectal cancer resection – MBP should be given Tumors less than 2 cm , lap resections, intra op colonoscopy
MRI better than CT for staging of rectal cancer Better prediction of circumferential resection margin Better selection of patients for NACTRT
Good surgery • Colon – complete mesocolic excision • Rectum – Total mesorectal excision
Why do you want to resect the liver ? • First filter • Good regeneration capacity • Morbidity and mortality of liver resection - low
Case 1 50 male, Good performance status • Malena x 2 months • Some weight loss x 2 months • Occasional lower abdominal discomfort x 15 days • Colonoscopy + Bx : Adenocarcinoma in transverse colon

Current Colorectal Cancer Reports April 2017, Volume 13, Issue 2, pp 165–174 Short-Course Radiation Therapy Versus Long-Course Chemo radiation in the Neoadjuvant Treatment of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: New Insights from Randomized Trials Recent Findings SCRT with early surgery results in lower pCR rates, lower severe acute toxicities, no difference in late toxicities, and no apparent difference in local control, DFS, and OS when compared with LCRT. When surgery is delayed after SCRT, cancer outcomes appear equivalent, including pCR rates. The addition of full-dose systemic therapy with SCRT prior to surgery is attractive to further downstage patients, particularly in patients at high risk of distant relapse. Summary Increasing randomized evidence is accumulating to support the use of SCRT as an acceptable preoperative treatment approach for LARC. Increasing the interval from SCRT to surgery and/or adding chemotherapy may mitigate potential concerns related to SCRT. More mature data and future results of ongoing randomized trials will help clarify the oncologic equivalence and safety of SCRT followed by preoperative chemotherapy.
TIMING TO SURGERY J Am Coll Surg. 2016 Apr;222(4):367-74 Optimal Timing to Surgery after Neoadjuvant CTRT for LA Rectal Cancer. Sun Z1, Adam MA2, Kim J2, Shenoi M2, Migaly J2, Mantyh CR2. RESULTS: A total of 11,760 patients were included. Median time to surgery was 53 days (interquartile range [IQR] 43 to 63 days). After adjusting for patient demographic, clinical, tumor, and treatment characteristics, our model determined an inflection point at 56 days after end of radiotherapy associated with the highest likelihood of complete resection and pathologic down staging. With adjustment, the risk of margin positivity was increased in those who underwent surgery after 56 days from end of radiotherapy (odds ratio [OR] 1.40, 95% CI 1.21 to 1.61, p < 0.001). The likelihood of down staging was increasing up to 56 days after radiotherapy (≥56 days vs <56 days, OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.23, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: This study objectively determined the optimal time for surgery after completion of nCRT for rectal cancer based on completeness of resection and tumor down staging. Eight weeks appears to be the critical threshold for optimal tumor response.

Eur J SurgOncol. 2016 Feb;42(2):159-65 Colorectal cancer with synchronous hepatic metastases: Systematic review of reports comparing synchronous surgery with sequential bowel-first or liver-first approaches. Baltatzis M1, Chan AK1, Jegatheeswaran S1, Mason JM2, Siriwardena AK. CONCLUSION: This review assesses outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases managed by either synchronous, sequential liver-first or bowel-first surgery. Overall treatment-related mortality is low and survival is similar among the three groups. These findings provide support for the continued use of all three pathways until better evidence to guide selection of an individual treatment option is available.
