Liver is the most common metastatic site of gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST). The recurrence rate is high even after hepatectomy. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) makes the resection feasible for some of the liver metastasis of GIST and significantly increase the overall survival, surgery still can not be substituted. Therefore, it is worth investigating and exploring the most appropriate treatment for the GIST with liver metastasis.
