Abstract    Liver metastasis is a late event in gastric cancer. The treatment still remains controversial. The paper reviewed the recent literature concerning the treatment of gastric cancer with liver metastasis (GCLM), and analyzed curative surgery, palliative surgery, local ablation therapy, interventional radiotherapy and systemic chemotherapy. Some GCLM patients will benefit from the multidisciplinary treatments described above. Whether to choose "curative" surgery or palliative surgery for a certain patient should be based on the clinical and pathological features of the patient.
