Abstract

Hepatic resection remains the treatment of choice for colorectal liver metastases. The advancement of surgical technique and use of perioperative systemic therapy has expanded the number and complexity of patients eligible for surgical resection. In recent years, investigation into gene mutations, such as RAS/RAF pathway, have led to targeted therapies that have significantly improved outcomes. Next-generation sequencing allows analysis of large number of genes that may have potential prognostic relevance in the clinical setting. This review summarizes the current applications of next-generation sequencing technology in metastatic colorectal cancer, focusing on its prognostic implications on patient management.
