Abstract    Objective    To explore the prognostic risk factors for colorectal cancer patients with liver metastasis who received surgical treatment. Methods    The clinicopathological characters of 123 colorectal cancer with liver metastasis patients who received surgical treatment between January 2000 and January 2011 in Cancer Hospital of CAMS were analyzed retrospectively. Results    In all patients, 1，3，5-year survival were 87.2%，35.6% and 21.1% respectively. Univariate analysis showed size of liver tumor, level of preoperative CEA, R0 resection were risk factors for prognosis. Multivariate analysis showed that R0 resection was the only independent risk factor. Conclusion    Surgical treatment is still the optimal modality for colorectal cancer with liver metastasis. R0 resection is the key point for the patients to get a better prognosis.
