Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the outcomes of arterial resections (AR) in cholangiocarcinoma surgeries, highlighting a gap in previous analysis of multimodal treatment approaches.
- The study reviewed 10 cohort studies with a total of 2,530 patients, showing that patients who underwent AR experienced higher in-hospital mortality and morbidity rates, as well as lower long-term survival compared to a control group.
- The findings suggest that while AR may not provide better outcomes, there's potential selection bias, and more randomized trials are needed to truly assess the benefits of AR compared to palliative treatments.
The ten-year (1965-1975) experience of the Pediatric Tumor Clinic with 14 cases of proven CRM was reviewed. Seven cases seen prior to 1970 acted as control. They were treated by surgery and X--ray therapy alone (one received one chemotherapeutic agent).
