We thank Markopoulos and colleagues for their comments on our paper recently published
in the European Journal of Surgical Oncology on the prognostic impact of surgical
margin and tumor biology in patients who underwent surgical resection for colorectal
liver metastases [

- PreviewColorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women and approximately one third of patients develop liver metastases. Tumor free resection margins (R0 resection) is an important prognostic factor [1]. This can be due to surgical technique but mainly due to tumor biology, tumor burden and surgical complexity.
