Survival after liver resection for secondary tumors.

Abstract:

:The results achieved by liver resection for metastatic cancer in more than 400 patients have been studied in a collected review. Certain conclusions seem justified: The liver is no longer the surgeon's "no-man's-land," and local excision of metastatic tumor can achieve clinical cure in some patients. The risk-benefit ratio for hepatic resection for secondaries seems to be shifting in favor of benefit for selected patients with primary colorectal tumors. At present liver resection for tumors metastatic from pancreas, breast, lung, stomach, kidney, reproductive organs, and skin (melanoma) cannot be recommended. Liver resection may play an important part in the multi-modal therapy of children with extensive malignant disease.
