Surgical Aspects of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy. It originates from the bile ducts and is the second most common primary cancer of the liver. Surgery is considered the only curative treatment of ICC, offering the best chance for long-term survival.

Perioperative and Oncological Outcomes of Combined Hepatectomy with Complete Cytoreduction and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

Background: Synchronous peritoneal and liver metastasis in colorectal cancer is a relative contraindication for curative surgery. We aimed to evaluate the safety and oncological outcomes of combined treatment of peritoneal and liver metastasis.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of metastatic colorectal cancer patients from two prospective databases: peritoneal surface malignancy (n = 536) and hepatobiliary (n = 286).

Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Early Detection of Malignant Gallbladder Lesions.

Objectives: Preoperative decision-making for differentiating malignant from benign lesions in the gallbladder remains challenging. We aimed to create a diagnostic nomogram to identify gallbladder cancer (GBC), especially for incidental GBC (IGBC), before surgical resection.

Methods: A total of 587 consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed gallbladder lesions from a hospital were randomly assigned to a training cohort (70%) and an internal validation cohort (30%), with 287 patients from other centers as an external validation cohort.
