Resecting liver mets for gastric, sarcoma or breast cancer - benefit or “cosmetic surgery for the radiologist”?
To consider in highly selected patients - some robust discussions with experts including visiting speaker @alegronchi

🆕 @AnnalsofSurgery ‼️
We examined Wait Time targets in CRC surgery in 🇨🇦
Meeting traditional targets (<28 days) isn't linked to better survival. But a new data-driven target (<45 days) is.
Time for an update? ⌛️

＃1️⃣ is observation👀
🔪Resection if >2cm or progression
👉🏻 focus on dominant NET, spare parenchyma & ⚠️avoid total
