The presence of hepatic metastatic disease does not preclude the surgical excision of the primary tumor. Unless the hepatic metastatic disease is extensive, excising the primary cancer can provide excellent palliation. Bleeding and obstruction caused by the tumor can be avoided, and if the metastatic disease in the liver is resectable, the patient may yet be cured. (sabiston 17ed)
