Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent neoplasm in the world, with an approximate incidence of 54 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in men and 34 per 100,000 in women. CRC is the second most frequent cause of death due to cancer in developed countries. Half of these patients develop hepatic metastasis in the course of the disease, 25% of them synchronously. The five-year survival of patients with CRC stage IV not treated surgically is 0-7%. Hepatic resection is considered to be the treatment of choice for colorectal liver metastases (CLM).
