In contrast to colorectal and neuroendocrine liver metastases, liver surgery has not yet gained the same status for non-colorectal non-endocrine (NCNE) liver metastases.

Even selected chemotherapy-naive patients with NCNE liver metastases can benefit from liver resection. Due to the sometimes dramatic improvements in systemic treatment in recent years, multimodality treatment concepts should be increasingly considered for several diseases in which modern liver surgery will become an integral part.
