title: [Clinical risk score in patients selection for surgical treatment of liver metastases].
abstract: Liver metastatic disease is the most common malignancy of the liver. The aim of our study was to elaborate criteria for selection of patients for surgical treatment based on definite preoperative characteristics. Results from the surgical treatment of 233 patients operated in the Liver-pancreas Surgery Clinic at the University Hospital "Aleksandrovska" for the period January 1990-December 2003 have been analyzed. On the bases of the results form the study we propose a modified clinically applicable risk score for patients' selection in lever metastatic disease surgery.
