Popis: Not all patients with resectable colorectal liver metastases (CLM) benefit from liver resection (LR); only patients with disease progression during chemotherapy are excluded from surgery. This study was performed to determine whether tumor behavior (stable disease/progression) from the end of chemotherapy to LR impacts prognosis. Patients undergoing LR after tumor response or stabilization during chemotherapy were considered. Overall, 128 patients who underwent examination by two imaging modalities (computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging) after chemotherapy with a > 3-week interval between the two imaging modalities were analyzed. Any variation in CLM size was registered. Tumor progression was defined according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) criteria. Among 128 patients with stable disease or partial response to preoperative chemotherapy, 32 (25%) developed disease progression in the chemotherapy to LR interval, with a disease progression rate of 17% when this interval was
