[Preoperative CEA level predicts outcomes of hepatic resection for liver metastases from colorectal cancer].
We analyzed patients receiving hepatic resection for liver metastases from colorectal cancer to determine prognostic factors. Seventy-one patients underwent curative hepatic resection for liver metastases and 32 of them were treated with arterial infusion chemotherapy (AIC) using implantable port. Five-year survival rates in the AIC group and non-AIC group calculated by the method of Kaplan-Meier were 43% and 22%, respectively (p < 0.01, logrank test). By multivariate analysis calculated by the Cox proportional hazard model, the preoperative CEA level (cut point 10 ng/dl) and existence of AIC predicted survival.
