To date, we have analyzed data from 16 patients (seven women, nine men) with a mean age of 59 12 years. The patients presented with various primary tumors including HCC ( = 3), breast cancer ( = 4), colorectal cancer (n = 4), choroid melanoma ( = 2), carcinoid (n = 1), cholangio-cellular carcinoma ( = 1) and pancreatic carcinoma ( = 1). First, metabolically active lesions were identified based on glucose metabolism in...

Treatment concepts for liver metastases are determined by the biology of tbe disease and, in the case of the disease being confined to the liver, by the number and topographic location of the metastases. Colorectal liver metastases are the most frequent indication for the use of regional treatment concepts for the liver. Liver metastases from other primary tumors, such as the breast, neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoids), ocular melanoma, renal cell cancer, and sarcoma, have also been removed by treatment approaches confined to the liver with curative intent.
