Article Synopsis
- A national registry analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of different surgical treatments on the survival of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and liver-only metastases.
- Out of the 10,977 patients studied, those who received both primary tumor resection and liver metastasectomy had the longest median overall survival (OS) of 18.6 months compared to 6.5 months for those with no surgery.
- The results indicate that for selected patients with favorable conditions, surgical intervention may improve survival outcomes significantly compared to not receiving surgery or undergoing single treatment options.
