Long-term outcomes (beyond 5 years) of liver transplant recipients-A transatlantic multicenter study.

The long-term (>5 y) outcomes following liver transplantation (LT) have not been extensively reported. The aim was to evaluate outcomes of LT recipients who have survived the first 5 years. A multicenter retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from 3 high volume LT centers (Dallas-USA, Birmingham-UK, and Barcelona-Spain) was undertaken.

The effects of resection margin and KRAS status on outcomes after resection of colorectal liver metastases.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of resection margin status in patients with KRAS mutations (mt-KRAS) when compared to those with wild-type KRAS (wt-KRAS) on long-term outcomes in patients with resected CRLM.

Methods: All patients who underwent resection of CRLM with curative intent between January 2011 and December 2016 and had a KRAS type recorded were included in the study. Overall survival (OS), as well as death-censored overall (RFS) and liver-specific (LS-RFS) recurrence-free survival between KRAS types and the margin status within KRAS subgroups were compared using Cox regression models.
