Abstract:
The liver is a common site of metastatic cancers. Abundant data now support surgical resection as the treatment of choice for metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver. For symptomatic neuroendocrine tumors, resection also is a useful palliative therapy. Roles for resection of metastatic cancer from other primary sites have yet to be defined.
