Abstract
Background/Aim: The outcome after hepatectomy and non-surgical treatme nt of liver metastases from gastric and colorectal malignancies are re ported. Methodology: Between April 1988 and March 1994, 176 patients w ith metastatic liver cancer were treated at the First Department of Su rgery, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Hospital. Results: All patients received multi-disciplinary treatment and 51 underwent hepat ectomy. The survival after hepatectomy for metastatic liver cancer fro m a colorectal primary was better than that for gastric cancer. The su rvival after hepatic arterial infusion (HAT) therapy for metastases fr om gastric cancer was better than that for colorectal cancer. Conclusi on: Surgical resection may be the best treatment for liver metastases from colorectal cancer. HAI may be a better option for liver metastase s from gastric cancer.
