The prognostic utility of the “Tumor Burden Score” based on preoperative radiographic features of colorectal liver metastases

Recently, a tumor‐burden “metro ticket” score (TBS) based on final pathology was proposed to predict outcome following resection of colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM). We sought to validate the TBS prognostic tool using preoperative radiologic cross‐sectional imaging.
