Hepatectomy for Liver Metastasis of Gastric Cancer: A Meta-Analysis.

Conclusion. The present study demonstrates that hepatic resection in the management of liver metastases of GC can prolong the survival of patients and should be considered a promising treatment for such patients. Furthermore, there are more favorable outcomes in patients with metachronous metastases versus those with synchronous disease. Therefore, metachronous hepatic metastases from GC are not necessarily a contraindication for hepatectomy of the metastatic site.
