Summary
Cryosurgery of hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma is a form of local therapy for unresectable disease. After curative resection, failures occur in the liver, and at extrahepatic sites. This pilot study with 4 patients evaluated the toxicity and tolerance to cryotherapy and intraoperative chemotherapy for unresectable hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer. Combining the tumoricidal effects of chemotherapy and cryosurgery is in theory a good concept. However, the toxicity of 5-fluorouracil and leucovirin is enhanced by this approach.
