Abstract

The authors report their experience in the surgical treatment of breast cancer liver metastases. Although with a restricted number of cases (4 patients), the short-term results are satisfactory; this is in agreement with the literature. The survival of those patients treated with a loco-regional approach to metastases (chemotherapy and surgery), is longer than one obtained using systemic chemotherapy. This is still an open question requiring further experience.
