The impact of primary tumor site on longterm prognosis following resection of neuroendocrine liver metastasis (NELM) remains poorly defined. The objective of the study was to define the association of primary tumor location on prognosis of patients undergoing hepatic resection for NELM. Methods: Between 1990 and -2014, 421patients who underwent resection of NELM were identified from a mu… Show more
