Lymph node burden predicts recurrence patterns in cholangiocarcinoma
Tumor features after surgery for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma can inform recurrence risk and patient outcomes.
Neoadjuvant Therapy Improves Survival After Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Resection
Neoadjuvant therapy may significantly enhance post-recurrence survival in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
Examining Age Impacts Survival in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Younger patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHC) show significantly better outcomes when unresectable compared to older patients, which may influence surgical decision-making.
Surgeons See 10-Year Survival in Resection of Liver Metastases
Resection of solitary colorectal liver metastases leads to excellent long-term survival, but outcomes depend on lymph node status and tumor size.
Angioembolization Equals Survival to Surgery in Liver Trauma
Angioembolization offers equivalent survival rates compared to surgery for penetrating liver trauma but leads to longer hospital stays.
Novel bile leak test shows promise in liver resection outcomes
A prospective trial indicates a new ultrasound technique may improve detection of bile leaks during liver surgery.
Stent Choice in Malignant Biliary Obstruction Impacts Patency
Self-expanding metal stents outperformed plastic stents in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction, crucial for decision-making in palliative care.
Enhanced Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cysts with EUS-NCLE
Using endoscopic ultrasound-guided needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy improves diagnostic accuracy for pancreatic cystic lesions, reducing unnecessary surgeries.
R0 Resection Critical for Node-Positive Pancreatic Cancer
R1 resection is linked to significantly worse survival in node-positive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients.
