Abstract
We have taken into consideration papers published in the last 10 years on the treatment of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis and hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer and the pre-operative prognostic factors needed to consider these subjects eligible for surgical treatment. Peritoneal carcinomatosis should not be considered an absolute contraindication to hepatic resection if it is possible to perform a complete resection of all peritoneal and liver disease.
