Abstract
A postal survey of consultant surgeons in England and Wales was carried out to assess current attitudes towards screening for and treatment of hepatic metastases from primary colorectal carcinoma. The results showed that pre-, intra- and postoperative screening were inadequate. There was no consensus as to which patients would benefit from major hepatic resection for colorectal liver secondaries. Fewer than one-third of potentially operable patients underwent liver surgery.
