Surgery for liver metastasis from gastric cancer

Surgical management of hepatic metastases from gastric cancer is becoming one of the hot topics in gastric oncology. This is matter of satisfaction for the Italian Research Group on Gastric Cancer, who actively explored this particular subject. On the basis of our data and those from the literature, in a recent editorial we sponsored a “μετάνοια” (change of mind) that could lead to include surgery among the therapeutic options for a subgroup of metastatic gastric cancer patients (1).
