A Case of Simultaneous Resection of Recurrent Colorectal Liver Metastases as part of Colorectal Cancer Treatment Journey
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery Research and Practice - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Combining systemic treatments with liver resection in patients with colorectal liver metastases has been proven to be successful in delivering favorable survival outcomes. We describe a 68-year-old man who underwent six cycles of chemotherapy before developing recurrent colon cancer with liver metastases. Prior to this, he underwent a Hartmann’s procedure for obstructive malignant rectal cancer. Shortly after the initial procedure, he underwent a Hartmann’s reversal. Imaging revealed locoregional recurrence with increased CEA as well as metastatic lesions in segments 4b and 8 of the liver at the time of recurrence. After a complete multidisciplinary evaluation, the simultaneous resection of the liver metastasis and the bowel recurrence was carried out without incident, and adjuvant therapy was then administered. This case report detailed the patient’s experience with many chemotherapy treatments and an early recurrence of CRLM, followed with surgical resection of recurrent primary and liver metastatasis. As part of multidisciplinary therapy, we propose that simultaneous excision of the recurring bowel location and the liver metastases offers the potential for superior care.
