Liver resection demonstrates strong oncologic outcomes for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), with a 90-day mortality rate below 5%. One-year overall survival (OS) rates exceed 85% for most patients, dropping to 78% for those with ten or more metastases. Five-year OS rates range from 28% to 67%, depending on tumor burden. These findings establish critical benchmarks that can guide the evaluation of emerging treatment options like thermal ablation and transplantation.
