Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the prognostic significance of total tumor volume (TTV) in predicting early recurrence and overall survival in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who received systemic therapy followed by local treatment.
- Results showed that both baseline TTV and changes in TTV after treatment were significantly associated with early recurrence and overall survival, while conventional measures like RECIST1.1 did not show predictive value.
- Findings were validated in an external patient cohort, confirming that TTV provides important prognostic information beyond traditional clinical factors for patients with initially unresectable CRLM.
Background: Low lumbar skeletal muscle mass and density have been associated with adverse outcomes in different populations with colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to determine whether skeletal muscle mass, density, and physical performance are associated with postoperative complications and overall survival (OS) in older CRC patients.
Methods: We analysed consecutive patients (≥70 years) undergoing elective surgery for non-metastatic CRC (stage I-III).
Objective: To assess which risk factors can be used to reduce superfluous estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) measurements before intravenous contrast medium administration.
Methods: In consecutive patients, all decreased eGFR risk factors were assessed: diabetes mellitus (DM), history of urologic/nephrologic disease (HUND), nephrotoxic medication, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, age > 60 years, anaemia, malignancy and multiple myeloma/M. Waldenström.
Purpose: To summarize the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and associations between CIN incidence and risk factors in patients undergoing intravenous contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) with low- or iso-osmolar iodinated contrast medium.
Methods: This review is performed in accordance with the preferred reporting items in systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane databases from 2002 till November 2012.
