Hepatic resection with cryotherapy to involved or inadequate resection margin (edge freeze) for metastases from colorectal cancer

In patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal liver metastases, a resection edge either involved by tumour or with the tumour extending to within 1 cm is associated with a high risk of liver recurrence and survival is reduced markedly.
