Description

Lise et al reported a prognostic model for a patient undergoing resection of hepatic metastaases from a colorectal carcinoma. This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from more aggressive management or a new technique. The authors are from University of Padova in Italy.

Parameters:

(1) percent of liver involved by metastases

(2) metastases to colonic lymph nodes with primary carcinoma

(3) number of metastases

(4) preoperative serum SGPT
