ABSTRACT

The surgical management of liver malignancies remains a mainstay in the treatment of such patients, and has benefited from dramatic advancements over the last two decades. Improvements in surgical technique, better understanding of hepatic anatomy, and improvement in anesthesiological supportive care has resulted in a decline in perioperative morbidity and operative mortality. Proper patient selection for surgical and nonsurgical treatment currently employs a multidisciplinary approach in our institution. This review will focus on the surgical treatment options for both primary and secondary liver cancers.
