“Cherry Picking”, a Multiple Non-anatomic Liver Resection Technique, as a Promising Option for Diffuse Liver Metastases in Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumours

Introduction Liver metastases of GEP-NETs are a known major prognostic factor with a strong effect on patients’ survival. To date, various treatment options are available, whereas surgery remains the only curative option. Because large liver resections often cannot be performed due to insufficient remnant liver volume, a special operative technique, “cherry picking” (multiple nonanatomic liver resections), can be used as a tissue-preserving procedure.
