Abstract

The aim of the present review was to analyze the current data on surgery of synchronous liver metastases in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in curative intent. A review of the literature was carried out to identify the current international concepts regarding surgery of liver metastases of PDAC and, furthermore, we addressed the current challenges of resection of liver metastases of PDAC. Resection of liver metastases in PDAC may provide survival benefit without compromising safety and quality of life in a highly selected group of patients.

Keywords: liver metastases; metastases; pancreatic cancer; resection; surgical therapy.
