Resection of liver metastases from a noncolorectal primary: indications and results based on 147 monocentric patients

Abstract

Certain guidelines emerge from this series on the indications and uses of adjuvant chemotherapy. Indications for hepatectomy are relatively straightforward for neuroendocrine, testicular, and renal tumors. Hepatectomy for LM from other primaries appears beneficial in certain sarcomas, breast and gynecologic cancers, and perhaps melanoma, for which selection criteria, unfortunately, remain obscure.
