Alternativas terapéuticas actuales de las metástasis hepáticas

The liver is a common site of hematogenous metastasis, especially from gastrointestinal malignancies. Liver metastasis are generally classified as stage IV disease. Previously treatment in such patients was met with great skeptiscism. However, advances in surgical and medical therapies during the la...
