Consensus guidelines enhance surgical management of colorectal liver metastases

A consensus guideline developed by the AHPBA highlights the significant role of surgical management in colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), emphasizing early surgical involvement for improved patient survival. It outlines the effectiveness and limitations of diagnostic tools, including imaging and next-generation sequencing. The guidelines advocate for treatment sequencing, combining surgical and non-surgical approaches, especially in cases of unresectable disease, to optimize outcomes for patients facing this complex diagnosis.
