[Analysis of Hepatectomy for Liver Metastasis from Gastric Cancer].

INTRODUCTION: The indication of hepatectomy for liver metastasis from gastric cancer has not been definitely established.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Among 12 cases that were performed hepatectomy for liver metastasis from gastric cancer in our institute from 2008 to 2016, we analysed prognosis and the benefit of surgical resection.

RESULTS: The overall 5-year survival rates of all cases were 42.3%, and median survival time was 2 years. The overall survival rates of synchronous metastasis was 59.3%and of metachronous metastasis was 0%. Recurrence rate of all cases within 1 year was 75%. There was no long-term survivor for metachronous metastasis because of its early recurrence though it was solitary liver tumor.

CONCLUSION: We should carefully indicate surgical resection for liver metastasis from gastric cancer.
