Introduction: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature was carried out to determine the clinical and oncological outcome of patients who had enucleation of solitary pancreatic metastases from renal cell carcinoma.
Methods: Operative mortality, postoperative complications, observed survival, and disease-free survival were analyzed. The clinical outcomes of patients who had enucleation were compared to those of 947 patients collected from the literature who had standard or atypical pancreatic resection for the same disease using propensity score matching.
Article Synopsis
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often arises in patients with cirrhosis but is increasingly being detected in non-cirrhotic livers, prompting a closer look at treatment options.
- A study of 186 HCC patients who underwent surgical resection between 2005 and 2021 found no perioperative deaths and a 25.8% complication rate, with a median follow-up of 9.2 years.
- The research indicated similar overall survival rates across various BCLC stages, but highlighted significant differences in baseline characteristics and outcomes when comparing surgical resection to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for specific patient groups.
Article Synopsis
- * A retrospective study involving 227 chronically infected patients was conducted, comparing HCC prevalence and outcomes in those treated with DAAs against a historical group treated with peginterferon and ribavirin; findings showed a notable prevalence of 32.75% HCC in DAA patients, with significant differences in curative procedure rates.
- * The study suggests that even though 3-year
Background: To compare oncological results and safety profile of balloon micro-catheter trans-arterial chemoembolization (b-TACE) and drug-eluting-microsphere (DEM-TACE) in patients with hepatocellular-carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: This is a case-control, retrospective, single-center study. Between January-2015/March-2019, 149 patients (131 males [87.
