Perioperative chemotherapy with FOLFOX4 is compatible with major liver surgery and reduces the risk of events of progression-free survival in eligible and resected patients.

Purpose To evaluate the prevalence of the three
components of pathologic response (necrosis, fibrosis, acellular mucin) after resection of CLM, with and without preoperative chemotherapy.
To investigate the association with outcome as well as preoperative factors
Patient Preoperative chemotherapy :
Systemic chemotherapy within 6 months before hepatectomy
Hepatic artery infusion Non Preoperative chemotherapy
Chemotherapy-naive patients chemotherapy-free interval of more than 6
months before hepatectomy

A median of 3 slides (range, 1–17) were examined for each tumor, typically one section per centimeter of tumor diameter.
All tumors that grossly appeared to show complete or near complete response.
Of 21 complete pathologic responders, all but one had received preoperative chemotherapy.

Non Preoperative chemotherapy Only 9 (8 %) and 3 (3 %) of the 117
nonchemotherapy patients had ≥75 % nonviable tumor and fibrosis ≥ 40 %.
Lack of association with disease-specific survival
Fibrosis is the predominant chemotherapy-induced pathologic change in CLM.
Necrosis in CLM is more related to spontaneous phenomena.
The beneficial effects of chemotherapy appear to be mainly related to the replacement of tumor by fibrosis
29
The study is the first to provide a detailed quantitative analysis of the three components of overall pathologic response (fibrosis, necrosis, acellular mucin)
Fibrosis as the main chemotherapy-induced pathologic change independently associated with survival after resection of CLM.
30
8 % were found to have a complete absence of viable tumor cells on pathologic review
In the study, patients with complete pathologic response had a 94 % 5-year disease-specific survival probability.
31
It is important to identify patient or tumor characteristics that preoperatively predict higher levels of pathologic response.

Duration of chemotherapy
Longer duration of preoperative chemotherapy was not associated with pathological response

Approximately 8 % of patients with CLM receiving modern combination chemotherapy can achieve complete pathologic response.
Favorable overall pathologic response is associated with improved long-term survival.
The pathologic finding of necrosis in CLM is a nonspecific finding.
39
HAI chemotherapy and bevacizumab may be associated with higher rates of overall pathologic response and fibrosis.
