[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. But carcinoid tumors are very notorious in spread and recurrence. And liver metastases are very common. The treatment of isolated liver metastasis is surgical removal. It is known as metastesectomy. In this unblock resection of nodule with negative margin is done. So better to consult oncosurgeon first. And discuss all these.
