['Although up to 9% of patients with gastric cancer develop liver metastases, liver resection is rarely performed because of co-existing non-curative factors. Furthermore, the benefit of liver resection is still controversially discussed. Our goal was to investigate the outcome of patients who underwent liver resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatic metastasized gastric cancer.', 'Retrospectively collected data from a prospectively maintained database were analyzed from 15 patients who underwent liver resection or RFA for liver metastases from gastric cancer.', 'Overall 5-year survival and median survival were 27% and 48\xa0months for resected/RFA patients. The peri-operative complication rate was low. One patient has been tumor-free for 90\xa0months now.'] Is resection of liver metastases beneficial in patients with gastric cancer : report on 15 cases and review of literature?
