Introduction: For patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), the only treatment with a possibility for long-term survival and cure is radical resection. The majority of patients are at the time of diagnosis not assessed as resectable because they have advanced disease in the liver or unresectable extrahepatic disease or are too frail to withstand liver surgery. Patients who at the time of diagnosis are not assessed as resectable may be treated with conversion chemotherapy to downsize the tumor burden and render the patient eligible for resection. One concern with chemotherapy administered preoperatively has been the potential negative effect on the future liver remnant (FLR), especial...

Den här boken är skriven för alla som funderar på att genomföra en överviktsoperation eller redan har gjort det, läsa. Boken är uppdelad i två delar. En självbiografisk del och en faktadel. Den första delen av boken är min egen självbiografiska berättelse om mitt liv som tjock, överviktsopererad, matmissbrukare och sockerberoende. Det finns så många experter inom detta som aldrig varit tjocka eller opererade som faktiskt inte vet hur det känns. Därför vill jag berätta min historia om vad och varför jag är och har blivit den jag är idag. Faktadelen tar upp kroppens funktioner och vad vi behöver för att fungera optimalt med näringsämnen och deras funktion. Vad händer egentligen när kroppen utsätts för överviktskirurgi? Det opereras flera tusen om året för övervikt i Sverige och man opererar även på barn så unga som i nedre tonåren. Den information man får inför dessa operationer är väldigt generell och i den här boken går jag ner på djupet och ifrågasätter vad som vi faktiskt utsätter oss för när vi möblerar om och tar bort delar av vårt matsmältningssystem. En mage som inte fungerar ger en kropp som inte fungerar.
