Just a quick chime in here. Resection seems to be gaining popularity here in the UK. I am aware of a number of bc patients who have had this done. It also seems to be an option for bowel cancer. A friend of mine had bowel cancer 5 years ago with stage 4 due to liver mets at diagnosis. He had surgery, chemo then a liver resection.It has never come back!! Interestingly (one for Rich) he takes metformin for diabetes!! Wonder if this has had any impact?
