Liver metastases are a frequent event in the course of colorectal cancer and some studies indicate them as the cause of two thirds of deaths from this disease. Treatment is complex and involves a range of therapeutic options that vary through behavior and timing of metastases diagnosis, as well as the background of the patient. The volume of medical knowledge published every year on this topic is on the rise, with information with different levels of evidence, coming as a torrent of data that daily challenges those involved in the care of these patients. These professionals, in turn, should belong to multidisciplinary teams able to evaluate together the best treatment options as well as their sequence, according to the specifics of each case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are the premises that supported the initiative to hold the First Brazilian Consensus of Multimodal Treatment of Liver Metastases from Colorectal Cancer<\/strong>, including, unprecedentedly in Brazil, the specialty societies involved in this care, namely the Brazilian Chapter of the International Hepato-Pancreato Biliary Association (BC-IHPBA), the Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology (BSSO), the Brazilian Society of Clinical Oncology (BSCO), the Brazilian College of Digestive Surgery (BCDS) and the Brazilian College of Surgeons (BCS), also relying on the support of the Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA). Experts from other areas were also involved in specific points of the discussion, such as radiologists, interventional radiologists and pathologists. The Consensus meeting was held on August 23, 2014 during the X International Symposium on Cancer of the Digestive Apparatus of CEPGIO \/ International Symposium BC-IHPBA \/ Postgraduate Course of AHPBA<\/strong> at A.C.
