Article Abstract
Background: Hepatic resection of liver metastases of non-colorectal, non-neuroendocrine, and non-sarcoma (NCNNNS) primary malignancies seems to improve survival in selected patients. The aims of the current review were to describe long-term results of surgery and to evaluate prognostic factors for survival in patients who underwent resection of NCNNNS liver metastases.
Methods: We identified 30 full texts (25 single-center and 5 multicenter studies) published after year 1995 and published in English with a total of 3849 patients. For NCNNNS liver metastases, 83.4 % of these subjects were resected.
Results: No prior systematic reviews or meta-analyses on this topic were identified. All studies were case series without matching control groups. The most common primary sites were breast (23.8 %), genito-urinary (21.8 %), and gastrointestinal tract (19.8 %). The median 5- and 10-year overall survival were 32.3 % (range 19-42 %) and 24 % (indicated only in two studies, range 23-25 %), respectively, with 71 % of R0 resections.
Conclusions: There is evidence suggesting that surgery of NCNNNS metastases is safe, feasible, and effective if treatment is part of a multidisciplinary approach and if indication is based on the prognostic factors underlined in literature analysis.

Objectives: It is known that surgical treatment is advantageous in terms of efficacy and survival in colorectal cancer and neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases. Our aim in this study was to determine the results of surgical treatment of non-colorectal (NCR), non-neuroendocrine tumor (NNET) liver metastases (LM).
Material And Methods: A total of 125 patients having NCR and NNET were included in the study.
Is There a Role for Locoregional Therapies for Non-colorectal Gastrointestinal Malignancies?

The liver is the most common site of metastases from solid gastrointestinal tract tumors. Over the past few decades, the role of locoregional therapies, resection and thermal ablation, for neuroendocrine and colorectal liver metastases has been widely studied. However, for liver metastases originating from other gastrointestinal organs, the role of locoregional treatment remains unclear.

Background: Hepatectomy is an established treatment for colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) or neuroendocrine liver metastasis. However, its role in non-colorectal non-neuroendocrine liver metastasis (NCNNLM) is controversial. This study aims to compare long-term survival outcomes after hepatectomy between NCNNLM and CLM in a population-based cohort.

Article Synopsis
- There is ongoing debate about the effectiveness of surgery for non-colorectal non-neuroendocrine liver metastases (NCNNLM), despite an increase in liver resections for these cases.
- A preliminary international survey was conducted among surgeons to gather insights on current clinical practices and to assess the feasibility of an International Registry for NCNNLM, utilizing an online questionnaire that received responses from 141 surgeons across 27 countries.
- The survey revealed that a majority of participating surgeons work in general surgery units, with a high rate of multidisciplinary discussions for surgical indications, and noted that parenchymal-sparing resections are common, although significant post-operative complications were reported in some cases.

Liver metastases (LM) occur in up to 90% either simultaneously with the diagnosis of the primary tumor or at a later time-point. While resection of colorectal LM and resection or transplantation of neuroendocrine LM is part of a standard therapy with a 5-year patient survival of up to 80%, resection of non-colorectal and non-neuroendocrine LM is still discussed controversially. The reason for it is the significantly lower survival benefit of all different tumor entities depending on the biological aggressiveness of the tumor.
