Surgical treatment of liver metastases from non-colorectal non-neuroendocrine carcinomas.

Introduction: In the literature, results after surgical treatment of non-colorectal non-neuroendocrine liver metastases (NCNNLM) are reported that are often inferior to those from colorectal liver metastases. The selection of patients with favorable tumor biology is currently still a matter of discussion.

Materials/methods: The retrospective data analysis was based on data that were collected for the multicenter study "Role of surgical treatment for non-colorectal liver metastases" in county Thuringia.
