The prognosis of patients with multiple liver metastasis of colorectal cancer (CLM) on both lobes accompanied by a portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) remains unclear. We report two patients with multiple CLM and PVTT who underwent liver resection. A 73-year-old man had successful extended right hemi-hepatectomy with a thrombectomy for a macroscopic tumor thrombus in the right portal branch and multiple CLM in both lobes. At 8 months after surgery, the patient had multiple CLM in the remnant lobe with left main PVTT and died 14 months after liver surgery. A 64-year-old woman who had previously undergone palliative chemotherapy for adenocarcinoma of the ascending colon presented with CLM accompanied by a macroscopic tumor thrombus in the left portal branch. Tumor and PVTT had progressed despite various regimens of chemotherapy. Left hemi-hepatectomy with radiofrequency ablation on right lobe and right hemicolectomy were performed. However, CLM occurred again within 3 months after the liver surgery. Considering these cases, a poor prognosis may be expected even though the tumor is successfully removed by liver resection.
对于同时伴有门静脉癌栓(PVTT)的双侧叶多发结直肠癌肝转移(CLM)患者的预后仍不清楚。我们报告了 2 例接受肝切除术的多发 CLM 和 PVTT 患者。1 例 73 岁男性成功地进行了右半肝扩大切除术,包括右门静脉分支的宏观肿瘤血栓和双侧叶的多个 CLM。术后 8 个月,患者在残肝内出现多个 CLM,同时伴有左主 PVTT,并在肝手术后 14 个月死亡。另 1 例 64 岁女性曾因升结肠癌行姑息性化疗,出现伴有左门静脉分支大的肿瘤血栓的 CLM。尽管进行了各种化疗方案,肿瘤和 PVTT 仍在进展。行左半肝切除术联合右叶射频消融术和右半结肠切除术。然而,肝手术后 3 个月内再次出现 CLM。考虑到这些病例,即使通过肝切除术成功切除肿瘤,预后也可能较差。
