Background
Patients with multiple liver metastases from breast cancer are typically considered ineligible for surgical treatment due to the extent of disease.

The first patient, treated in 2020, had 20 bilobar liver metastases and underwent combined resection and radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The second patient, treated in 2023, had 18 bilobar metastases and underwent a two-stage hepatectomy using the associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) ..
