Aso Visual Abstract: Intervention for Hepatic and Pulmonary Metastases in Breast Cancer Patients-Prospective, Multi-Institutional Registry Study: Imet; Protocol Mf 14-02

Abstract

The aim of our prospective, multicenter registry study was to investigate the importance of interventions for operable lung and/or liver metastasis for breast cancer (BC) survival (https://doi.org/10.1245/s10434-022-12239-z). The results reveal that surgical resection or ablative interventions may contribute to survival in patients with BC with limited number and operable metachronous hepatic/pulmonary metastases. Ultimately, randomized studies will determine whether intervention on lung and liver metastatic sites should be performed. In the meantime, such interventions can be considered on select patients.
