Abstract

The confirmed presence of liver metastases alters the surgical strategy of many abdominal neoplasms. At the time of initial treatment of primary tumor, for which surgery is advisable only in localized cases, such as in pancreatic cancer, even detection of the smallest metastatic nodule involves a poor prognosis and any surgical approach becomes palliative. In the case of colorectal or neuroendocrine tumor metastases, the identification of number and site of nodules is crucial, since the therapeutic role of hepatic resection in the 10% of patients where it is technically allowed is clearly proven (August et al. 1985).
