Conditional Recurrence-Free Survival After Hepatectomy for Colorectal Liver Metastases: Time-Dependent Prognostic Relevance of Liver Metastasis Number.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Recurrence risk after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) changes during follow-up, but whether baseline tumor burden remains prognostically relevant with increasing recurrence-free time is unclear. We evaluated the time-dependent prognostic relevance of liver metastasis number...
