Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In patients receiving preoperative chemotherapy, colorectal liver metastases (CLM) are expected to demonstrate a similar behaviour because of similar organ microenvironment and tumour cell chemosensitivity. We focused on the occurrence of pathological and genetic heterogeneity within CLM. METHODS: Patients resected for multiple CLM between 2004 and 2011 after > three cycles of chemotherapy were...
