Surgery for breast cancer liver metastases - factors determining results

The results of the surgical treatment of liver metastases from breast cancer (BCLMs) may be determined by various factors. The aim of the present study was to specify the risk factors for surgical treatment of BCLM. Twenty-four female patients with BCLMs were treated with liver resection or radiofre...

Description
Summary:The results of the surgical treatment of liver metastases from breast cancer (BCLMs) may be determined by various factors. The aim of the present study was to specify the risk factors for surgical treatment of BCLM. Twenty-four female patients with BCLMs were treated with liver resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA). We evaluated the effects of patient age, time interval between the breast cancer and BCLM surgery, the type of surgical procedure, histopathological findings of the primary tumor, the number and overall diameter of BCLMs, the presence of resectable extra-hepatic metastases, and local tumor recurrence after breast cancer surgery on patients' overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
