Marburg University and Clinics, Department of General- and Visceral Surgery, Section of Endocrine Surgery, Marburg, Germany.
Background: It remains unclear whether liver resection as part of multimodal therapy of neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM) is superior to non-surgical (interventional and medication-based) treatment alone. This study should determine if patients with NELM undergoing hepatic surgery in addition to non-surgical treatment have improved overall survival compared to patients undergoing non-surgical therapy alone.
Methods: 123 patients undergoing treatment of NELM between 1995 and 2014 were included in this retrospective cohort study.
