With the continuous advancements of laparoscopic techniques, many surgeons have enhanced the feasibility and safety of this approach for carefully selected patients. This study aims to offer a comprehensive account of the technical aspects and surgical outcomes associated with laparoscopic anatomical right hepatectomy, explicitly utilizing a four-incision anterior approach. The surgical procedure involved several maneuvers, including blocking the Glissonean pedicle, ligation of the right hepatic artery, right branch of the portal vein, and the right hepatic duct, removal of the liver parenchyma along the ischemic line, and determination of the liver section based on four anatomical landmarks: the right anterior Glissonian pedicle, middle hepatic vein, root of the right hepatic vein, and retrohepatic inferior vena cava.

Background: Intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with microvascular invasion (MVI) is associated with high recurrence rates and poor survival outcomes after surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of postoperative transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) on prognosis of intermediate-stage HCC patients with MVI after curative liver resection (LR).

Materials And Methods: Patients who had intermediate-stage HCC with MVI and underwent curative LR between January 2013 and December 2019 at three institutions in China were identified for further analysis.

Emerging evidence has shown that circular RNAs (circRNAs) serve as a promising biomarker in different malignancies. Specifically, circ_001569 has been found to be upregulated in some types of human gastrointestinal cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate clinical significances, diagnostic and prognostic values of circ_001569 in pancreatic cancer (PC), and identify its effects on the malignant behaviors of PC cells.

Background: Prognoses of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative hepatectomy remain unsatisfactory because of the high incidence of postoperative recurrence. Published predictive systems focus on pre-resection oncological characteristics, ignoring post-recurrence factors.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop prognostic nomograms for 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) of patients with HCC after curative hepatectomy, focusing on potentially influential post-recurrence factors.
