Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The liver represents the third most common site of breast cancer (BC) metastases behind the lymphatics and bone. The primary treatment for BCLM remains chemo-therapy and, more recently, targeted immunotherapy. The role of liver resection in BCLM remains controversial. The primary aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of liver resection vs. medical therapy alone in Breast Cancer Liver Metastasis (BCLM) patients.
