Perihilar and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma after Resection: Clinicopathological Characteristics, Outcomes, and Implications for Addition of Chemoradiotherapy.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate clinicopathological characteristics, patterns of recurrence, survival outcomes, and implications for the addition of chemoradiotherapy for patients with resected perihilar and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).

Materials And Methods: For the present retrospective study, we identified 38 and 10 patients with resected perihilar and intrahepatic CCA. In perihilar CCA, adjuvant treatment was given as chemotherapy ( = 13) or chemoradiotherapy ( = 10).

Expanding donor pool for live donor liver transplantation: utilization of donors with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis after optimization.

Introduction: Potential live liver donors with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are rejected upfront for donation in live donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Herein, we share our experience of the feasibility of live liver donation in donors with NASH after successful donor optimization.

Materials And Methods: Prospectively collected data of 410 consecutive donor hepatectomies from June 2011 to January 2018 were analyzed.
