Titre(s) : Noncolorectal, nonneuroendocrine liver metastases [Texte électronique] : diagnosis and current therapies / Isidoro Di Carlo, editor ; foreword by Masatoshi Makuuchi
Publication : Cham : Springer, [2015]
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
This book offers a complete overview on noncolorectal nonneuroendocrine (NCRNNE) liver
metastases and describes in detail the currently available therapies. Each chapter
focuses on the treatment of metastases from a particular primary malignancy and also
provides valuable information on incidence, natural history, and diagnosis. NCRNNE
metastases to the liver are rare entities compared with colorectal and neuroendocrine
metastases, for which the treatments are well codified. While more publications have
appeared on the topic in recent years, an in-depth study has to date been lacking.
Furthermore, most published series are insufficiently comparable as they comprise
patients with NCRNNE hepatic metastases from a variety of primary malignancies and
consequently overlook differences in tumor behavior, frequency of isolated hepatic
metastases, response to neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy, and interval between diagnosis
of the primary tumor and the liver metastases. This book, with its more specific approach,
will serve not only as an up-to-date guide to diagnosis and treatment but also as
a reference on which to base future studies
