Surgical Management of Breast Cancer Liver Metastasis.

Hepatic resection for patients with isolated breast cancer liver metastases (BCLM) is associated with prolonged disease-free interval and better overall survival in highly selected patients. Patients with limited disease who are not candidates for surgery benefit from ablative therapies for isolated breast cancer metastasis in addition to systemic chemotherapy. In the era of modern effective systemic chemotherapy for BCLM, local regional therapies are warranted, yet only in well-selected patients following discussion in a multidisciplinary setting. This article reviews data related to hepatic resection and ablative therapies of BCLM, as well as long-term outcomes of women treated with these approaches.
