Methods The literatures about new progress in surgical treatment of liver metastasis from colorectal carcinoma at domestic and abroad were reviewed, including the indication of operation, prognostic evaluation model, and how to increase the resection rate for liver metastasis from colorectal carcinoma patients with conversion therapies. Results Part of patients with liver metastasis from colorectal carcinoma could get surgeries after accepting positive conversion therapies.For the patients with liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma did not accepted surgeries all the way, it was a safe and effective treatment method by different conversion therapies such as neoadjuvant chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation, and so on, and it could improve the quality of life and prolong the survival time.
