Project description:Hepatic metastases are diagnosed synchronously in 3-14% of patients with gastric cancer, and metachronously in up to 37% of patients following ''curative" gastrectomy. Most patients who have gastric cancer and hepatic metastasis are traditionally treated with palliative chemotherapy. The impact of liver resection is still controversial. We attempted to assess whether liver resection can improve survival in cases of metachronous hepatic metastases from gastric cancer through a nationwide database.We conducted a nationwide cohort study using a claims dataset from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). We identified all patients with gastric cancer (diagnostic code ICD-9: 151.x) from the Registry for Catastrophic Illness Patient Database (RCIPD) of the NHIRD who received gastrectomy and as well as those with metachronous (≥180 days after gastrectomy) liver metastases (ICD-9 code: 197.7) between 1996/01/01 and 2012/12/31. Patients with other malignancies, with metastasis in the initial admission for gastrectomy and with other metastases were excluded. They were divided into two groups, liver resection group and non-resection group. All patients were followed till 2013/12/31 or withdrawn from the database because of death.653 patients who fullfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the research. They were divided into liver resection group (34 patients) and non-resection group (619 patients). There were no differences between the two groups in gender, Charlson Comorbidity index and major coexisting disease. Kaplan-Meier analysis demostrated the liver resection group had significantly better overall survival than the non-resection group. (1YOS: 73.5% vs. 19.7%, 3YOS: 36.9% vs. 6.6%, 5YOS: 24.5.3% vs. 4.4%, p <0.001). After COX analysis, the liver resection group showed statistical significance for improved patient survival (HR = 0.377, 95%CI: 0.255-0.556. p<0.001).Liver resection in patients presenting with metachronous hepatic metastases as the sole metastases after curative resection of gastric cancer is associated with a significant survival improvement and should be considered a treatment option for such patients.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Liver resection for secondary malignancy has become the standard of care in appropriately staged patients, offering 5-year survival rates of >40%. Reports of laparoscopic liver resection have been published with increasing frequency over the last few years. In these small series approximately one-third of all operations have been for malignancy, but survival figures cannot be assessed yet. METHODS: A retrospective review of all laparoscopic liver resections performed by four surgeons in Brisbane between 1997 and 2004 was done. Follow-up was by regular patient review and telephone confirmation. RESULTS: Of 84 laparoscopic liver resections, 33 (39%) were for malignancy; 28 of these were for metastases (22 colorectal). Thirteen patients had left lateral sectionectomy with minimal morbidity; nine right hepatectomies were attempted and six cases of segmental or subsegmental resection were performed. Survival rates in 12 patients followed for 2 years with colorectal secondaries were 75% with 67% disease-free. DISCUSSION: Laparoscopic liver resection is feasible in highly selected cases of malignant disease. Patients need to be appropriately staged and surgeons need a broad experience of open liver surgery and advanced laparoscopic procedures.

Project description:The role of perioperative chemotherapy in the management of initially resectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is still unclear. The EPOC trial [the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) 40983] is an important study that declares perioperative chemotherapy as the standard of care for patients with resectable CRLM, and the strategy is widely accepted in western countries. Compared with surgery alone, perioperative FOLFOX therapy significantly increased progression-free survival (PFS) in eligible patients or those with resected CRLM. Overall survival (OS) data from the EPOC trial were recently published in The Lancet Oncology, 2013. Here, we discussed the findings and recommendations from the EORTC 40983 trial.

Project description:BackgroundHepatic resection (HR) is the gold standard liver cancer treatment, but few patients are eligible due to comorbidities or tumor location. Microwave ablation (MWA) is an important complementary liver cancer treatment to HR. This systematic review compared MWA with HR for liver cancer treatment.MethodsA systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL was conducted for randomized and observational studies published from 2006 onwards. The primary outcome was local tumor recurrence (LTR), and a random effects model was used for meta-analyses.ResultsOf the 1845 studies identified, 1 randomized and 15 observational studies met the inclusion criteria. LTR was significantly increased with MWA versus HR (risk ratio (RR) = 2.49; P = 0.016). In secondary measures, HR provided significantly higher 3- and 5-year overall survival (RR = 0.94; P = 0.03 and RR = 0.88; P = 0.01, respectively) and 3-year disease-free survival (RR = 0.78; P = 0.009). MWA exhibited significantly shorter length of stay (weighted mean difference (WMD) = - 6.16 days; P < 0.001) and operative time (WMD = - 58.69 min; P < 0.001), less intraoperative blood loss (WMD = - 189.09 mL; P = 0.006), and fewer complications than HR (RR = 0.31; P < 0.001). When MWA was combined with HR and compared with either modality alone, complications and blood loss were significantly lower with the combination treatment; however, there were no differences in other outcomes. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were generally aligned with the main results.ConclusionsMWA can be an effective and safe alternative to HR in patients/tumors that are not amenable to resection. More randomized and economic studies should be performed that compare the two treatments, especially to determine the target population that benefits most from MWA.

Project description:The prognostic significance of sarcopenia has been widely studied in different cancer patients. This study aimed to analyze the influence of sarcopenia on long-term survival in patients with colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) undergoing hepatic resection. A retrospective analysis of 182 patients undergoing hepatic resection for CRLM was performed. Sarcopenia was determinedusing the Hounsfield unit average calculation (HUAC), a measure of muscle quality-muscledensity at preoperative abdominal computed tomography scans. Sarcopenia was defined as an HUAC score of less than 22 HU calculated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. The prognostic relevance of clinical variables and overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was evaluated. Patients with sarcopenia were older (p?<?0.001) and had higher prevalence of diabetics (p?=?0.004), higher body mass index (BMI) (p?<?0.001) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (p?=?0.026) compared to those without. Sarcopenia was not significantly associated with OS and RFS. Multivariate Cox's regression analysis showed that multinodularity (>3) (hazard ratio (HR) 2.736; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.631-4.589; p?<?0.001), high CEA level (?20?ng/ml) (HR 1.793; 95% CI, 1.092-2.945; p?=?0.021) and blood loss (?300 cc) (HR1.793; 95% CI, 1.084-2.964; p?=?0.023) were independent factors associated with OS. In subgroup analyses, sarcopenia was a significant factor of poor OS in the patients with multinodularity by univariate (p?=?0.002) and multivariate analyses(HR 3.571; 95% CI, 1.508-8.403; p?=?0.004). Multinodularity (>3) (HR 1.750; 95% CI, 1.066-2.872; p?=?0.027), high aspartate aminotransferase level (HR 1.024; 95% CI, 1.003-1.046; p?=?0.025) and male gender (HR 1.688; 95% CI, 1.036-2.748; p?=?0.035) were independent factors of RFS. In conclusion, despite no significance in whole cohort, sarcopenia was predictive of worse OS in patients with multiple CRLM after partial hepatectomy.

Project description:BackgroundSurgical resection is the most efficient treatment for isolated colorectal cancer hepatic metastases. Among the known prognostic factors of this procedure, the impact of the resection margin width is still a controversial matter in the literature.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was performed including 170 patients who underwent surgical resection of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLMs) between 2006 and 2016 in our hepatobiliary unit. Resection margin width was determined histologically by measuring the distance from the tumour in millimetres or centimetres. Patients' clinical characteristics were also collected. Patients were then stratified in two tumour margin groups: below 5 mm (group A) and equal to or above 5 mm (group B). Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were the primary outcomes.ResultsKaplan-Meier curves showed significantly better outcomes for cases having resection margins above 5 mm for both DFS with 1508.7 days (range 1151.2-1866.2) in group A, compared to 2463.9 days (range 2021.3-2906.5) in group B (P=0.049), and OS with 1557.8 days (range 1276.3-1839.3) for group A and 2303.8 days (range 1921.2--2686.4) for group B (P=0.020). This survival benefit was not significant for patients presenting with stage IV CRC at diagnosis or cases where extended (7+ segments) resections were performed.ConclusionFive-millimetre margins provide a significant survival advantage and should be aimed for in the treatment of CRLMs. Further research on the cause for this finding, including tumour biology's impact on survival, is required.

Project description:Symptoms of early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often go unnoticed, so more than half of patients with primary HCC are diagnosed after their disease has already reached an intermediate or advanced stage, or after portal hypertension has appeared. While hepatic resection is widely recognized as a first-line therapy to treat very early or early HCC, its use in treating intermediate or advanced HCC or HCC involving portal hypertension remains controversial. Here we review PubMed-indexed literature covering the use of hepatic resection for such patients. The available evidence strongly suggests that, as a result of improvements in surgical techniques and perioperative care, hepatic resection can benefit many patients with intermediate or advanced HCC or with HCC associated with portal hypertension.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of adjuvant hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy after complete resection or ablation of recurrent colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted of patients from two centers who were treated with resection and/or ablation of recurrent CRLM only between 1992 and 2018. Overall survival (OS) and hepatic disease-free survival (hDFS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Cox regression method was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI).ResultsOf 374 eligible patients, 81 (22%) were treated with adjuvant HAIP chemotherapy. The median follow-up for survivors was 65 months (IQR 32-118 months). Patients receiving adjuvant HAIP were more likely to have multifocal disease and receive perioperative systemic chemotherapy at time of resection for recurrence. A median hDFS of 46 months (95% CI 29-81 months) was found in patients treated with adjuvant HAIP compared with 18 months (95% CI 15-26 months) in patients treated with resection and/or ablation alone (p = 0.001). The median OS and 5-year OS were 89 months (95% CI 52-126 months) and 66%, respectively, in patients treated with adjuvant HAIP compared with 57 months (95% CI 47-67 months) and 47%, respectively, in patients treated with resection and/or ablation only (p = 0.002). Adjuvant HAIP was associated with superior hDFS (adjusted HR 0.599, 95% CI 0.38-0.93, p = 0.02) and OS (adjusted HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.38-0.92, p = 0.02) in multivariable analysis.ConclusionAdjuvant HAIP chemotherapy after resection and/or ablation of recurrent CRLM is associated with superior hDFS and OS.

Project description:BackgroundObesity and metabolic syndrome are associated with inflammatory hepatic parenchymal disease (HPD) and increased risk for recurrence after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). The independent impact of HPD on recurrence patterns has not been well defined.MethodsThe nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) was used to quantify HPD including steatosis and fibrosis for all patients with completely resected CRLM between April 2003 and March 2007. Clinicopathologic factors, perioperative history, and outcomes were compared with the NAS. Fisher's exact test was used to examine the association between severe HPD (NAS ≥ 3) with clinical and perioperative characteristics. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate recurrence-free survival (RFS). The cumulative incidences of recurrence [any intrahepatic recurrence (IHR), extrahepatic recurrence only (EHR), and death without recurrence (DWR)] were estimated using competing risks methods.ResultsAmong the 357 patients included in this study, microsteatosis was noted in 124 (35%) patients, severe HPD in 31 (9%), steatohepatitis in 14 (4%), and sinusoidal injury in 36 (10%). After median follow-up of 127 months (range 4-175 months), 10-year RFS was 22% [95% confidence interval (CI) 17-27%]. Ten-year cumulative incidence for IHR, EHR, and DWR was 37%, 30%, and 12%, respectively. After controlling for confounders, NAS ≥ 3 was independently associated with higher risk of IHR [hazard ratio (HR) 1.76, 95% CI 1.07-2.90, p = 0.027] and lower risk of EHR (HR 0.18, 95% CI 0.04-0.75, p = 0.019) on multivariable analysis.ConclusionsSevere HPD was associated with increased IHR risk and decreased EHR risk. Future investigation into whether improving HPD from reversible etiologies can reduce the risk for IHR is warranted.
