STUDY OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF PREOPERATIVE CHEMOTHERAPY IN MULTIPLE METASTASIS OF COLORECTAL CANCER IN THE LIVER

Abstract

Preoperative chemotherapy (CT) in 35 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) with liver metastases demonstrated a high frequency of objective effects - in 22 (62.9%) patients, stabilization was noted in 10 (28.6%) cases. With bilobar liver metastases and the use of oxaliplatin-containing regimens, partial regression was 62.9%. Side effects in most cases were clinically insignificant, no deaths were observed. The results obtained demonstrate the possibility of performing extended surgical operations in the majority of CRC patients with multiple liver metastases after preoperative CT.
