Abstract
Abstract
The literature on metastasectomy abounds in anecdote and retrospective studies of non-randomized patients. In this paper, the published evidence concerning the efficacy of metastasectomy in the lung, liver, brain, gastrointestinal tract and omentum is reviewed to formulate practical recommendations for patient selection and treatment. At some sites metastasectomy can be recommended with little hesitation for more widespread application, but surgery for liver metastases should still be regarded with some reservation.
