Pro\'iding the anatomic conditions are appropriate, removal of as much as 85-90% of the liver is a relatively safe technique for the treatment of benign or malignant prlmal) hepatic tumors and of isolated hepatic metastases. There have been apparent cures of malignant disease by this approach, but the paucity of concentrated experience at anyone center and the failure so far to pool data from ditlerent centers electively make a valid prognosis impossible. Total hepatectomy and liver replacement has resulted in the apparent cure of some patients with primary hepatic malignancy. However, tbere bas been an extremely higb rate of recurrence of tumor. Small cancers which are lethal because of their strategic locations may provide an unusually good indication for liver replacemenL Liver transplantation would rarely, if ever, be indicated for metastases to tbe liver.
