Popis: The indications for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in resectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) remain unclear. Tumor burden score (TBS) is a prognostic tool based on tumor size and number of tumors. However, its utility in the NAC setting for initially resectable CRLM has never been investigated. TBS is a distance from the origin on a Cartesian plane to the coordinates (x, y) = (tumor size in centimeter, number of tumors). TBS
