The Importance of Multidisciplinary Approach for the Management of Liver Metastases from Urological Cancer

Urological cancers (neoplasm of kidney, prostate, bladder, urethra, renal pelvis, ureter and testicles) are an emerging disease representing more than 18% of estimated new cancer cases in United States in 2017.
