title: Surgical treatment of hepatic metastatic colorectal cancer.
abstract: 73 patients (men age 54 years, range 17-78), underwent an hepatic resection for metastatic, colorectal cancer. Operative mortality was 1.36% Overall 5 years survival rate (Kaplan-Meier) was 27%; 5 years disease free interval was equally 27%. This could demonstrate that 5 years survivors could be also considered free from the risk of metastatic recurrence. This is confirmed by our survivors over 5 years (70-79-94 months) that are still disease free.
