[Surgical treatment of malignant liver tumors]

One hundred and nineteen patients were operated upon, 89--for primary cancer of the liver, 30--for cancer metastases. Radical operations for primary cancer of the liver were performed in 5 of 89 patients, and in 8 of 30 patients with metastatic involvement of the liver. In radical operations for malignant hepatic neoplasms frequently there would arise the necessity of a temporary exclusion of the organ from the portal and caval circulation.
