ABSTRACT
The liver is a common site for the development of metastases from primary tumors of various histology. The site of the primary tumor is the main determinant of the management of patients with liver metastases. In general we recognize liver metastases from colorectal cancer, from neuroendocrine tumors and from non-colorectal/nonneuroendocrine primary tumors. This chapter deals with the management of patients with liver metastases of colorectal origin and liver metastases from non-colorectal/ non-neuroendocrine origin. Management of liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors is discussed in the specific chapter on neuroendocrine tumors.
