Project description:INTRODUCTION:Long-term survival is still rarely achieved with current systemic treatment in patients with breast cancer liver metastases (BCLM). Extended survival after hepatectomy was examined in a select group of BCLM patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Hepatectomy for BCLM was performed in 139 consecutive patients between 1985 and 2012. Patients who survived < 5 years were compared to those who survived ≥ 5 years from first diagnosis of hepatic metastases. Predictive factors for survival were analyzed. Statistically cured, defined as those patients who their hazard rate returned to that of the general population, was analyzed. RESULTS:Of the 139, 43 patients survived ≥ 5 years. Significant differences between patient groups (< 5 vs. ≥ 5 years) were mean time interval between primary tumor and hepatic metastases diagnosis (50 vs. 43 months), mean number of resected tumors (3 vs. 2), positive estrogen receptors (54% vs. 79%), microscopic lymphatic invasion (65% vs. 34%), vascular invasion (63% vs. 37%), hormonal therapy after resection (34% vs. 74%), number of recurrence (40% vs. 65%) and repeat hepatectomy (1% vs. 42%), respectively. The probability of statistical cure was 14% (95% CI 1.4-26.7%) in these patients. CONCLUSIONS:Hepatectomy combined with systemic treatment can provide a chance of long-term survival and even cure in selected patients with BCLM. Microscopic vascular/lymphatic invasion appears to be a novel predictor for long-term survival after hepatectomy for BCLM and should be part of the review when discussing multidisciplinary treatment strategies.

Project description:This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting brain metastases free survival (BMFS) and the survival after brain metastases (SABM). The data of 215 patients with breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM) in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 2000 to August 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological features of BCBM were analyzed, and their effects on BMFS and SABM were analyzed by univariate and multivariate COX regression. Finally, it was analyzed whether the receptor status of the brain metastases and the primary lesions were consistent. The median age of the entire cohort was 46 years old. The median BMFS, SABM and overall survival were 31, 9 and 44.2 months, respectively. Clinical stage, molecular subtypes and bone metastasis were independent prognostic factors affecting BMFS. TNM stage IV (HR, 4.99 [95% CI, 2.13-11.7]) and triple negative subtype (HR, 2.06 [95% CI, 1.35-3.14]) was significantly associated with shorter BMFS, but the presence of bone metastases (HR, 0.63 [95% CI, 0.45-0.88]) was a favorable factor for BMFS. Molecular subtypes, resection of BCBM and whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) were independent factors for SABM. The triple negative subtype (HR, 2.02[95% CI, 1.12-3.64]) was significantly associated with shorter SABM. However, resection of BCBM (HR, 0.31 [95% CI, 0.15-0.65]) and WBRT (HR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.35-0.93]) were independent factors in improving SABM. The conversion rate of ER was 11.1%, PR was 29.6%, and HER2 was 3.7% between paired breast cancer and brain metastases. BMFS and SABM have different influencing factors. Resection of BCBM and WBRT can significantly improve SABM. The frequency of HER2 status changes between the paired BCBM and the primary lesions is low.

Project description:BackgroundPostoperative complications (POCs) following resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are common. The objective of this study was to evaluate risk factors for developing complications and their impact on survival considering prognostic factors of the primary tumor, metastatic pattern and treatment in a well-defined national cohort.MethodsPatients treated with resection for CRLM that was also radically resected for their primary colorectal cancer (diagnosed in 2009-2013) were identified in Swedish national registers. Liver resections were categorized according to extent of surgery (Category I-IV). Risk factors for developing POCs as well as prognostic impact of POCs were evaluated in multivariable analyses. A subgroup analysis of minor resections was performed to evaluate POCs after laparoscopic surgery.ResultsPOCs were registered for 24% (276/1144) of all patients after CRLM resection. Major resection was a risk factor for POCs in multivariable analysis (IRR 1.76; P = 0.001). Comparing laparoscopic and open resections in the subgroup analysis of small resections, 6% (4/68) in the laparoscopic group developed POCs compared to 18% (51/289) after open resection (IRR 0.32; P = 0.024). POCs were associated with a 27% increased excess mortality rate (EMRR 1.27; P = 0.044). However, primary tumor characteristics, tumor burden in the liver, extrahepatic spread, extent of liver resection and radicality had higher impact on survival.ConclusionMinimal invasive resections were associated with a decreased risk of POCs following resection of CRLM which should be considered in surgical strategy. Postoperative complications were associated with a moderate risk for inferior survival.

Project description:ImportanceIschemia-reperfusion injury during hepatic resection has been shown to accelerate progression of liver cancer. However, the prognostic relevance of remnant liver ischemia (RLI) after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) is unknown to date.ObjectivesTo assess the prognostic influence of RLI after resection of CLMs and to identify correlates of greater extent of RLI.Design, setting, and participantsThis study was a retrospective analysis at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center based on prospectively collected data. The study identified 202 patients who underwent curative resection of CLMs between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2014, and had enhanced computed tomographic images obtained within 30 days after surgery.Main outcomes and measuresRemnant liver ischemia was defined as reduced or absent contrast enhancement during the portal phase. Postoperative RLI was classified as grade 0 (none), 1 (marginal), 2 (partial), 3 (segmental), or 4 (necrotic) as previously defined. Experienced members of the surgical team retrospectively performed imaging assessments. Team members were masked to the postoperative outcomes. Survival after resection was stratified by RLI grade. Predictors of RLI grade 2 or higher and survival were identified.ResultsAmong 202 patients (median [range] age, 56 [27-87] years; 84 female), the RLI grades were as follows: grade 0 (105 patients), grade 1 (47 patients), grade 2 (45 patients), grade 3 (5 patients), and grade 4 (0 patients). Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates after hepatic resection were worse in patients with RLI grade 2 or higher vs grade 1 or lower (RFS at 3 years, 6.4% [3 of 50] vs 39.2% [60 of 152]; P < .001 and CSS at 5 years, 20.7% [10 of 50] vs 63.7% [97 of 152]; P < .001). A largest metastasis at least 3 cm (OR, 2.74; 95% CI, 1.35-5.70; P = .005), multiple CLMs (OR, 2.51; 95% CI, 1.25-5.24; P = .009), and nonanatomic resection (odds ratio [OR], 3.29; 95% CI, 1.52-7.63; P = .002) were associated with RLI grade 2 or higher. A largest metastasis at least 3 cm (hazard ratio [HR], 1.70; 95% CI, 1.01-2.88; P = .045), mutant RAS (HR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.27-3.64; P = .005), and RLI grade 2 or higher (HR, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.69-4.84; P < .001) were associated with worse CSS.Conclusions and relevanceIn this study, remnant liver ischemia grade 2 or higher was associated with worse CSS after resection of CLMs. High-quality anatomic surgery to minimize RLI after resection is essential.

Project description:BackgroundThis study compares long-term outcomes between intention-to-treat laparoscopic and open approaches to colorectal liver metastases (CLM), using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity scores to control for selection bias.MethodPatients undergoing liver resection for CLM by 5 surgeons at 3 institutions from 2000 to early 2014 were analysed. IPTW based on propensity scores were generated and used to assess the marginal treatment effect of the laparoscopic approach via a weighted Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsA total of 298 operations were performed in 256 patients. 7 patients with planned two-stage resections were excluded leaving 284 operations in 249 patients for analysis. After IPTW, the population was well balanced. With a median follow up of 36 months, 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) for the cohort were 59% and 38%. 146 laparoscopic procedures were performed in 140 patients, with weighted 5-year OS and RFS of 54% and 36% respectively. In the open group, 138 procedures were performed in 122 patients, with a weighted 5-year OS and RFS of 63% and 38% respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of OS or RFS.ConclusionIn the Brisbane experience, after accounting for bias in treatment assignment, long term survival after LLR for CLM is equivalent to outcomes in open surgery.

Project description:In advanced gallbladder cancer (GBC) radical resection, if multiple prognostic factors are present, the outcome may be poor; however, the details remain unclear. To investigate the poor prognostic factors affecting long-term surgical outcome, we examined 157 cases of resected stage 3/4 GBC without distant metastasis between 1985 and 2017. Poor prognostic factors for overall survival and treatment outcomes of a number of predictable preoperative poor prognostic factors were evaluated. The surgical mortality was 4.5%. In multivariate analysis, blood loss, poor histology, liver invasion, and ≥4 regional lymph node metastases (LNMs) were independent prognostic factors for poor surgical outcomes; invasion of the left margin or the entire area of the hepatoduodenal ligament and a Clavien-Dindo classification ≥3 were marginal factors. The analysis identified outcomes of patients with factors that could be predicted preoperatively, such as liver invasion ≥5 mm, invasion of the left margin or the entire area of the hepatoduodenal ligament, and ≥4 regional LNMs. Thus, the five-year overall survival was 54% for zero factors, 34% for one factor, and 4% for two factors (p < 0.05). A poor surgical outcome was likely when two or more factors were predicted preoperatively; therefore, new treatment strategies are required for such patients.

Project description:BackgroundWe analyzed bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumor (BPC) patients receiving resection from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to identify the predictive factors of their survival. Then, we developed and validated nomograms to predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in BPC patients.MethodsBPC patients registered in the SEER database were included. They were divided into a training set and an internal validation set (7:3). BPC patients from our center were included as an external validation set. Independent prognostic factors identified by a Cox regression model in the training set were used to construct nomograms to predict survival. Discrimination and calibration plots were used to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the nomograms. The nomograms were evaluated in both the internal and the external validation datasets.ResultsAge, pathological type, and N stage were identified as independent prognostic factors of OS and CSS by Cox analyses (all P<0.05). Tumor size ≥2.5 cm (P=0.045) was an independent factor for unfavorable CSS. Based on these variables, nomograms were constructed. All concordance indexes of the training set, internal validation set, and external validation set indicated that the nomograms had the preferable discriminatory ability. The calibration plots for predictions of the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS and CSS were in excellent agreement.ConclusionsAge, pathological type, N stage, and tumor size were independent predictive factors of prognosis in BPC patients receiving resection. These nomograms could serve as effective and accurate tools for the prognostic evaluation of patients with BPCs.

Project description:BackgroundMultiple liver metastases is considered a risk factor for overall survival of colorectal liver metastases patients (CRLM) after curative resection. However, whether the prognostic factors were constant in patients with various liver metastases (LM) numbers has not been adequately investigated. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the changing of prognostic factors on overall survival (OS) in CRLM patients with various LM after curative resection.MethodsPatients who underwent liver resection for CRLM between January 2000 and November 2020 were retrospectively studied. They were divided into three subgroups according to LM numbers by X-tile analysis. Multivariable analysis identified prognostic factors in each subgroup. Nomograms were built using different prognostic factors in three subgroups, respectively. Performance of the nomograms was assessed according to the concordance index (C-index) and calibration plots. The abilities of different scoring systems predicting OS were compared by calculating the area under the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC).ResultsA total of 1095 patients were included. Multivariable analysis showed tumor number increasing was an independent risk factor. Patients were subsequently divided into 3 subgroups according to the number of LM by X-tile analysis, namely solitary (n = 375), 2-4 (n = 424), and ≥ 5 (n = 296). The 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 64.1% and 54.0% in solitary LM group, 58.1% and 41.7% in 2-4 LM group, and 50.9% and 32.0% in ≥ 5 LM group, respectively (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, RAS mutation was the only constant independent risk factor in all subgroups. The nomograms were built to predict survival based on independent factors in three subgroups. The C-index for OS prediction was 0.707 (95% CI 0.686-0.728) in the solitary LM group, 0.695 (95% CI 0.675-0.715) in the 2-4 LM group, and 0.687 (95% CI 0.664-0.710) in the ≥ 5 LM group. The time-dependent AUC values of nomograms developed using different risk factors after stratifying patients by tumor number were higher than the traditional scoring systems without patient stratification.ConclusionsThe prognostic factors varied among CRLM patients with different LM numbers. RAS mutation was the only constant risk factor. Building prediction models based on different prognostic factors improve patient stratification.

Project description:BackgroundOne-third of 5-year survivors after liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) develop recurrence or tumor-related death. Therefore 10-year survival appears more adequate in defining permanent cure. The aim of this study was to develop prognostic models for the prediction of 10-year survival after liver resection for colorectal liver metastases.MethodsN=965 cases of liver resection for CLM were retrospectively analyzed using univariable and multivariable regression analyses. Receiver operating curve analyses were used to assess the sensitivity and specificity of developed prognostic models and their potential clinical usefulness.ResultsThe 10-year survival rate was 15.2%. Age at liver resection, application of chemotherapies of the primary tumor, preoperative Quick's value, hemoglobin level, and grading of the primary colorectal tumor were independent significant predictors for 10-year patient survival. The generated formula to predict 10-year survival based on these preoperative factors displayed an area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) of 0.716. In regard to perioperative variables, the distance of resection margins and performance of right segmental liver resection were additional independent predictors for 10-year survival. The logit link formula generated with pre- and perioperative variables showed an AUROC of 0.761.ConclusionBoth prognostic models are potentially clinically useful (AUROCs >0.700) for the prediction of 10-year survival. External validation is required prior to the introduction of these models in clinical patient counselling.

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.
