Abstract
The liver is the main target organ of the metastasis for gastric cancer. In cases of liver metastases of gastric cancer, the clinical effects of many treatments are not ideal. The morbidity of liver metastases of gastric cancer is high, which is one of the leading causes of death in gastric cancer patients. Currently, there have been no standardized treatment strategies. In recent years, the use of multidisciplinary treatment can prolong the survival of gastric cancer patients with liver metastases. Multidisciplinary treatment, which is based on individual patient's condition and combines surgery, chemotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, transarterial chemoembolization and targeted therapy, may improve the outcomes radically.
