Comprehensive radiomics nomogram for predicting survival of patients with combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma.

Background: Combined hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) is defined as a single nodule showing differentiation into HCC and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and has a poor prognosis.

Aim: To develop a radiomics nomogram for predicting post-resection survival of patients with cHCC-CCA.

Methods: Patients with pathologically diagnosed cHCC-CCA were randomly divided into training and validation sets.

The effect and safety of preoperative biliary drainage in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma: an updated meta-analysis.

Background: The effect and safety of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) in patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma are still controversial; the aim of our study is to evaluate all aspects of PBD.

Methods: All included studies featured PBD versus non-PBD (NPBD) groups were from 1996 to 2019 and were extracted from Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Science Citation Index Expanded.

Results: Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this analysis.

Parenchymal-sparing versus extended hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aims: To assess the safety and efficacy of parenchymal-sparing hepatectomy (PSH) as a treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CLM).

Methods: A comprehensive medical literature search was performed. Perioperative and long-term survival outcomes were pooled.

The choose of different surgical therapies of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: A single-center retrospective case-control study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate different surgical therapies for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in different clinical stages.We analyze the clinical data of 115 patients who received surgical treatment in West China Hospital from January 2004 to June 2016. Among these patients, 77 cases underwent radical hepatic resection (group A, n = 77); 17 cases underwent palliative resection (group B, n = 17), and 21 cases underwent liver transplantation (group C, n = 21) with 12 cases of orthotopic liver transplantation and 9 cases of liver autotransplantation.
