| Abstract: | Background Although portal vein embolization (PVE) and staged hepatectomy (StHx), as well as prehepatectomy chemotherapy, have improved the resectability rate of patients with multiple bilobar colorectal liver metastases, the impact of prehepatectomy chemotherapy on liver hypertrophy following PVE and/or StHx has remained unclear. |
