AB Complete  surgical  resection  represents  the  standard  treatment  of  colorectal  liver  metastases  (CRLM)  as  the  only  option  able  to  achieve  long-term  survival  (5-year  survival  around  40%)1,2  and  a  chance  of  cure.  However,  only  about  10%  to  20%  of  patients  are  considered  initially  resectable3  and  suitable  for  an  up-front  surgery.  In  case  of  unresectable  CRLM,  the  prognosis  remains  poor  although  longer  median  survival  of  30  months  has  been  obtained  in  selected  patients  with  good  performance  status  (ECOG  0  to  1),  no  (K)RAS  or  BRAF  mutations(4–8),  and  left-sided  tumors4–7  but  very  low  chance  of  long-term  survival.
