Overview

Introduction:
Gastric cancer, despite of its decreasing incidence, remains a serious medical problem. Many patients see a specialist as late as in the IVth stage of the disease with peritoneal seedings or liver metastases. Liver resection for gastric cancer metastases remains to be a controversial issue.

Material and methods:
The aim of this study is to present, through our case report and literature review, the current opinions on liver resections for metastatic gastric cancer.

Results:
Based on our experience and review of the Medline literature of the last five years, we would like to present the current trends in this field.

Conclusions:
Liver resection for gastric cancer metastases remains a controversial topic. However, in a very carefully selected group of patients, improved survival can be reached by combining liver resection and modern systemic treatment.

Key words:
gastric cancer – liver metastasis – surgical treatment
