Objective To investigate the strategy of treatment and prevention of hemorrhage after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Method Reviewing the related literatures at home and abroad in recent years, to summarize the progress of treatment and prevention of hemorrhage after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Results We should clear the postoperative bleeding time, extent, cause, and location, to help the clinician to choose the appropriate timing of intervention and treatment. The patients with early hemorrhage and mild degree hemorrhage could be treated conservatively. If patients with severe hemorrhage and hemodynamic disorders, surgical intervention must be decisive. Patients with late hemorrhage would have serious consequences, and these patients should receive interventional or surgical treatment as early as possible. Conclusions For patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma after radical resection, doctors need to do accurate preoperative evaluation, meticulous operation, and intensive management after operation, to reduce the incidence of hemorrhage after radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma. If the postoperative hemorrhage occurs, the cause, location, time, and degree of hemorrhage should be clearly defined to facilitate clinicians to make rapid clinical decisions and to develop treatment programs.
Objective To study the effect of HBeAg on recurrence and survival after radical resection of small (≤3 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Two hundreds and twenty-three HCC patients undergone radical resection from 1999 to 2000 were divided into two groups according to serum HBeAg status， HBeAg positive group (n=73) and HBeAg negative group (n=150). The patients’ factors, operative factors and tumorous facors were studied retrospectively between the two groups. And risk factors of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in operative and tumorous factors between the two groups, but the HBeAg positive group were younger with more severe cirrhosis (P=0.004, P=0.008). The OS and DFS were significantly different between the HBeAg positive group and HBeAg negative group. The 1-, 3- and 5-year OS were 91.5%, 76.8%, 60.1% and 95.2%, 85.3%, 73.2%, respectively (P=0.053)； and the 1-, 3- and 5-year DFS were 73.3%, 53.7%, 40.3% and 86.6%, 65.5%, 54.5%, respectively (P=0.002). Multivariate analysis revealed that age ＞50 years, HBeAg positive and macronodular cirrhosis were significantly related to OS, and HBeAg positive, multiple tumor nodulars were significantly related to DFS. Positive serum HBeAg status was an independent risk factor for both OS and DFS. Conclusion Positive serum HBeAg is closely related to early recurrence and survival after radical resection of patients with small HCC.
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of different surgical methods in the treatment of early-stage gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). Methods The clinical data of 43 patients with early-stage GBC who received treatment in Peking University People’s Hospital from Jan. 2010 to Dec. 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the surgical methods, the patients were divided into laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC)+lymph node dissection (LND)+radiofrequency ablation (RA) group, open cholecystectomy (OC)+LND+RA group, and OC+LND+liver resection (LA) group. Operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, surgical complications, and long-term survival were compared among the 3 groups. Results All the 43 patients performed successful surgery without perioperative death. ① Operation duration and postoperative hospital stay. The differences of operation duration and postoperative hospital stay among the 3 groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with the LC+LND+RA group, operation duration and postoperative hospital stay of the OC+LND+RA group and the OC+LND+LR group were longer (P<0.017), but there was no statistically significant difference between the OC+LND+RA group and the OC+LND+LR group (P>0.017). ② Intraoperative blood loss. The difference of intraoperative blood loss among the 3 groups was statistically significant (P<0.001). Compared with the OC+LND+LR group, the intraoperative blood loss was lower in the LC+LND+RA group and the OC+LND+RA group (P<0.017), but there was no significant difference between the LC+LND+RA group and the OC+LND+RA group (P=0.172). ③ Postoperative complications. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications among the 3 groups (P=0.326). ④ Long-term survival. There was no significant difference in survival curves among the 3 groups (P=0.057). Conclusions The method of cholecystectomy combined with LND and RA of gallbladder bed can achieve the radical effect on early-stage GBC (Tis–T2). Laparoscopic surgery, in particular, has shorter operation duration and faster recovery.
ObjectiveTo assess value of preoperative clinical data and enhanced CT imaging features in predic-tion of microvascular invasion (MVI) and early recurrence (recurrence in one year) after curative resection for hepatoce-llular carcinoma (HCC). MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted for 150 patients with HCC who underwent curative tumor resection in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from April 2014 to May 2015. The roles of preoperative CT characteristics and clinical data on MVI and early recurrence after curative tumor resection were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. Resultscompared with HCC with no MVI and no early recurrence after curative resection, univariate analysis results showed that HCC with MVI and early recurrence had larger tumor size (P=0.002, P=0.005), a higher proportion of non-smooth tumor margin (P<0.001, P<0.001), and tumor multifocality (P=0.005, P=0.038), HCC with MVI had a higher proportion of incomplete tumor capsule (P=0.032), HCC with early recurrence had a higher proportion of incomplete and absence tumor capsules (P=0.038) and a faster washout on portal venous phase-the percentage attenuation ratio on the portal venous phase (P=0.049) and relative washout ratio on the portal venous phase (P=0.020) were higher. A multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that non-smooth tumor margin (OR=7.075, P<0.001; OR=4.125, P<0.001) and tumor multifocality (OR=3.290, P=0.008; OR=2.354, P=0.047) were the independent predictors for MVI and early recurrence after curative tumor resection, HCC with early recurrence also had a faster washout on the portal venous phase (OR=1.023, P=0.017). ConclusionNon-smooth tumor margin and tumor multifocality are independent risk factors for MVI and early recurrence after curative tumor resection, and HCC with early recurrence has a faster washout on portal venous phase. Preoperative enhanced CT imaging could predict MVI and early recurrence after curative tumor resection and CT imaging findings are helpful to choose reasonable treatment and predict prognosis.
Patients with locally advanced thyroid cancer often face challenges in achieving radical surgery during initial diagnosis. This has become a significant hurdle in the treatment of thyroid cancer. With the continuous development of systemic therapy for thyroid cancer, several studies have demonstrated that neoadjuvant therapy can shrink tumors in some patients, thereby increasing the chances of complete resection and improving prognosis. Targeted therapy plays a crucial role as a core component of neoadjuvant treatment. Simultaneously, the potential efficacy of immunotherapy has gained attention, showing promising prospects. We aim to summarize the research progress and existing issues regarding neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced thyroid cancer. We look forward to more high-quality clinical studies providing robust evidence for neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced thyroid cancer, expanding the breadth of treatment options.
We reviewed the clinical studies on drug therapy for gallbladder cancer and expounded on the current situation of conversion therapy for gallbladder cancer. Gallbladder cancer was usually diagnosed late, with high malignancy, low surgical resection rate, and poor prognosis. With the development of conversion therapy, systemic therapy combined with radical resection had effectively improved the surgical resection rate and prognosis of gallbladder cancer patients. At present, most of the published conversion therapies for gallbladder cancer were mainly retrospective researches, lacking large multicenter prospective research, and the treatment plan was still based on chemotherapy, lacking the research of targeted therapy in combination with immunotherapy. It is expected that more high-quality clinical trials can be made first-line recommendations for the conversion therapy of gallbladder cancer.
ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of textbook outcomes (TO) after radical resection for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE). MethodsClinical data from 427 patients diagnosed with HAE at the Ganzi Branch of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, between 2015 and 2022, were retrospectively collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (LASSO) was first used to screen potential influencing factors for achieving TO (predictive model A). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were then used to explore the influencing factors of TO (predictive model B). A Nomogram was further constructed and validated. ResultsA total of 427 patients who successfully underwent radical liver resection were included, of which 174 patients (40.7%) achieved TO. Compared to the non-TO group, patients in the TO group had higher proportions of WHO PNM stage of P 1+2 [62.6% (109/174) vs 42.3% (140/253)], N0 [77.0% (134/174) vs 63.6% (161/253)], lesion diameter≤10 cm [77.0% (134/174) vs 64.8% (164/253)], albumin-bilirubin index (ALBI) ≤–2.6 [70.1% (122/174) vs 59.3% (150/253)], and minor liver resection [71.8% (125/174) vs 50.2% (127/253)], higher prealbumin (181 mg/L vs 169 mg/L) and albumin (39 g/L vs 38 g/L) levels, shorter postoperative hospital stay (15 d vs 19 d), and lower hospitalization costs (51 727 RMB vs 62 715 RMB), P<0.05. LASSO regression analysis indicated that P stage, lesion diameter, ALBI, and liver resection method were potential influencing factors for achieving TO after HAE surgery (model A), P<0.05. The TO rate for P 1+2 stage was higher than that of P 3+4 stage, the TO rate for lesion diameter ≤ 10 cm was higher than that of lesion diameter >10 cm, the TO rate for ALBI ≤–2.6 was higher than that of ALBI >–2.6, and the TO rate for minor liver resection was higher than of major liver resection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that P stage (OR=1.800, P=0.025) and liver resection method (OR=1.974, P<0.001) were influencing factors for achieving TO (model B). The TO rates for P1+2 stage and minor liver resection were higher. Predictive model A demonstrated higher accuracy and stability compared to predictive model B (AUC: 0.754 vs 0.712, C-index: 0.756 vs 0.707). ConclusionsAmong patients undergoing radical resection for HAE, less than half achieved TO. Striving to achieve TO can significantly shorten the length of hospital stay and effectively reduce medical costs. The TO predictive model based on P stage, lesion diameter, ALBI, and liver resection method is superior to the model based solely on P stage and liver resection method.
