Abstract: Colorectal cancer is the top 5 malignant tumors in the world,and the main cause of death is liver metastasis.The liver metastasis of colorectal cancer is mostly advanced,its therapeutic effect is poor,and the survival time of patients is short,which seriously affects the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.Radical surgical resection is currently the first-line treatment for colorectal liver metastasis(CRLM).However,the vast majority of patients have lost the opportunity to undergo surgery when they are diagnosed.The National Comprehensive Cancer Network(NCCN) recommends the use of locoregional therapy(LRT) for CRLM patients who are unable to undergo radical surgery and are insensitive or ineffective for chemotherapy,including transcatheter arterial therapy and ablation therapy.This article reviews the application progress of locoregional therapy for CRLM.

Key words: Colorectal cancer liver metastasis, Transcatheter arterial treatment, Ablation therapy
