BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of the study was to analyze the association between abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) and patient prognosis following resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). AAC potentially reflects intrahepatic immunity and is involved in tumor development and progression. However, the clinical effects of AAC on colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis after curative-intent liver resection for CRLM remain unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We evaluated the effect of AAC on the clinical prognosis and metastatic patterns in 99 patients who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM between 2010 and 2019...
