Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to improve the non-invasive classification of hepatocellular adenomas (HCA) using a diagnostic model that combines basic clinical features (age and sex) with MRI-radiomics data.
- - Researchers analyzed MR images of HCA to extract textural features and tested their model against both qualitative and automatic analysis, resulting in varying accuracies for subtyping HCA.
- - Findings suggest that machine learning can enhance HCA subtyping accuracy, particularly when more patients are included in future studies, indicating a promising direction for improved diagnosis and management.
Background: Visceral fat produces angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor that promote tumoral growth. However, its influence on outcome for patients with advanced cancer treated with anti-angiogenic agents is controversial.
Aims: The aim of this study was to determine whether visceral fat volume, visceral fat area and body mass index are associated with outcome in patients receiving first-line bevacizumab-based treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for treating intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (iCCA) by analyzing patient data from 2000 to 2022.
- It finds that multibipolar RFA has a lower local recurrence rate compared to monopolar RFA (22% vs. 55%) and suggests that tumor size and liver health significantly impact survival outcomes.
- The results indicate that patients with iCCA experience shorter overall survival than those with hepatocellular carcinoma (26 vs. 68 months), and highlight the importance of considering adjuvant chemotherapy due to high rates of distant metastases.
Article Synopsis
- Sonic hedgehog hepatocellular adenoma (shHCA) presents a unique challenge due to its high risk of hemorrhage and specific associations such as obesity and female gender.
- This study examined MRI scans from 29 patients, identifying potential imaging characteristics linked to shHCA, including the presence of fluid-filled cavities.
- Results indicate that MRI can help in diagnosing shHCA, revealing that nearly half of the cases displayed fluid-filled cavities, a finding that could enhance future diagnostic strategies.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and validate an algorithm for the non-invasive diagnosis of these fat-containing HCCs.
Methods: Eighty-four cirrhotic patients with 77 fat-containing HCCs and 11 non-HCC fat-containing nodules were retrospectively included. All MRIs were reviewed; nodule characteristics, European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) and LI-RADS classifications, and survival were collected.
