Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic factors associated with extrahepatic metastasis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 559 patients with HCC who underwent curative hepatectomy. We divided the patients into no recurrence (NoR), intrahepatic early recurrence (IHER), intrahepatic late recurrence (IHLR), and extrahepatic recurrence (EHR) groups. We compared the non-metastatic group (IHLR and NoR) with the metastatic group (IHER and EHR) and also compared IHER with EHR to determine risk factors for EHR.
Results: There were 252, 163, 109, and 35 patients with NoR, IHER, IHLR, and EHR, respectively. For the EHR group, the independent risk factor was vascular invasion. The EHR group had better liver function and worse tumor factors.
Conclusion: Vascular invasion is predictive of extrahepatic metastasis of HCC.

Background/aim: Liver metastasis (LM), pre-dominant in pancreatic cancer, is associated with a dismal 5-year survival rate. Reports on the presence of fatty liver and liver fibrosis in LM are conflicting. Although liver biopsy is the standard diagnostic method for fibrosis, alternative, less invasive scoring models have been explored.

Background/aim: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an epithelial malignancy that is most prevalent in Southeast Asia, particularly in the northeast of Thailand. Identifying and establishing specific biomarkers of CCA is crucial for ensuring accurate prognosis and enabling effective treatment. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule that can be released by dead or injured cells and is associated with tumor progression.

Background: Minimally invasive technique for surgical management of colorectal metastasis is becoming the standard practice in the United States. Paracaval colorectal metastasis is a technically challenging tumor to resect due to its location. Abutment of the inferior vena cava (IVC) often requires advanced technique for vascular dissection and potential need for partial venous resection.

Introduction and importance: Most extrahepatic metastases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are to the lungs and bones, metastases to the colon are rare. In the present study, we experienced a case of metastasis to the ascending colon during repeated treatment for HCC. Case Presentation: A 63-year-old man was diagnosed with multiple HCCs (T4N0M0 stage IIIB) associated with portal vein invasion.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of mutation on local tumor progression (LTP) and overall survival (OS) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs).
Methods: This prospective study consecutively enrolled patients with CRLM who underwent ultrasound-guided RFA between June 2020 and July 2022. mutation status was analyzed via the amplification refractory mutation system PCR method.
