TREATMENT OF GASTRIC LIVER METASTASES:SECOND UPDATING
MARCH 2003 Sakamoto et al found 5% of the 4730 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer at their institution between 1985 and 2001 developed liver metastases develop synchronously or metachronously, but only 10% of them underwent hepatic resection. This small population of patients is discussed in their study. Surgical resection for liver metastases of gastric cancer may be beneficial for patients with a solitary metastasis, whether it is synchronous or metachronous.On the contrary Ambiru et al reported significantly longer survival in patients with metachronous metastasis (5-year survival, 29%) than in those with synchronous disease (5-year survival, 6%), and other authors have also reported favorable outcomes in patients with metachronous metastasis. |
