Surgical resection of primary lesions and single metastasis can be curative, but surgery, used as the only therapeutic option, is not unanimously accepted in patients with multiple metastasis and, apart from other considerations, there are no established clinical criteria to allow us to predict which patients will benefit from a metastectomy.
