Abstract This study supports the opinion that liver resection or metastasis enucleation with a margin of normal tissue around the tumor for liver metastases from colorectal cancer can be recommended. The 3‐year survival rate of 20–25% is far better than the 3‐year survival rates reported after resection of the primary organ for cancers such as, for example, the pancreas and esophagus and is almost as good as that of surgery of primary rectal cancer Dukes' C. Liver resection has an acceptably low postoperative mortality (less than 10%), morbidity, and complication rate.
