Abstract:
The liver is one of the most common metastatic sites in patients with breast cancer. Systemic therapy is the standard treatment for breast cancer with liver metastasis, but the results are far from satisfaction. A distinctive subset of metastatic breast cancer is oligometastatic disease. Local therapy including metastasectomy, radiofrequency ablation and radiation therapy combined with systemic therapy can provide survival beneift. This review introduced the latest research results of local therapy in liver oligometastases of breast cancer.
