Surgical treatment of colorectal cancer liver metastases
Background. Colorectal cancer is a major health problem. Approximately 25% of the patients present with liver metastases at initial diagnosis and more than 50% develop metastases in the course of illness.

Platelet Indices in Colorectal Cancer Patients with Synchronous Liver Metastases
Aims. Liver metastases occur in approximately 25% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and cause more than 90% of deaths in CRC. Platelets play a crucial role in cancer progression and metastases.

Resection of the liver for colorectal carcinoma metastases - A multi-institutional study of long-term survivors [PDF]
In this review of a collected series of patients undergoing hepatic resection for colorectal metastases, 100 patients were found to have survived greater than five years from the time of resection. Of these 100 long-term survivors, 71 remain disease-free

Treatment of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma with liver transplantation [PDF]
Ten patients received liver transplants for unresectable epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE). At the time of transplantation, four patients had microscopic metastases to the hilar lymph nodes, and one of the four also had metastases to a rib.

Dietary alterations modulate the microRNA 29/30 and IGF-1/AKT signaling axis in breast Cancer liver metastasis. [PDF]
Background: Metastatic cancer is incurable and understanding the molecular underpinnings is crucial to improving survival for our patients. The IGF-1/Akt signaling pathway is often impaired in cancer leading to its progression and metastases.

Correlation of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Tissue Inhibitors of Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression in Ileal Carcinoids, Lymph Nodes and Liver Metastasis with Prognosis and Survival [PDF]
Purpose: Ileal carcinoids are gut epithelial tumors originating from serotonin-containing enterochromaffin (EC) cells. Therapeutic options for effectively inhibiting the growth and spread of metastatic carcinoids are still limited.
