We had 2 cases of liver-limited and unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer with RAS mutations. These patients received hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAI), finally achieving pCR. Case 1 was a 76-year-old female with rectosigmoid cancer and multiple liver metastases. We underwent anterior resection for primary lesion. After surgery, the patient had received first-line and second-line systemic chemotherapy for the multiple liver metastases. The patient achieved SD and had Grade 3 neutropenia. We then performed HAI as third-line chemotherapy and we therefore underwent hepatectomy. The results of the pathological examination after hepatectomy pCR and is currently alive without cancer recurrence for 61 months. Case 2 was a 53-year-old male with sigmoid colon cancer and multiple liver metastases. We underwent sigmoidectomy with laparoscopic assistance. Three months after surgery, we underwent resection of the lateral segment of the liver under laparoscopy. This patient had cancer recurrence in the remnant liver at 6 months after surgery and had received first-line systemic chemotherapy. The patient had Grade 3 neutropenia after 1 course of chemotherapy and showed no improvement. We then performed HAI as second-line chemotherapy, and we therefore underwent hepatectomy. The results of the pathological examination after hepatectomy were pCR and he is currently alive without cancer recurrence for 30 months.

Background: Cutaneous melanoma is the leading cause of death from cutaneous malignancy and tends to metastasize lymphatically and hematogenously to the lung, liver, brain, and bone; it is a rare source of metastatic disease to the eye. Herein we provide a case report of cutaneous melanoma metastatic to the ciliary body and choroid involving clinical examination, slit lamp photography, and B-scan ultrasonography.
Result: A 55-year-old female with known metastatic cutaneous melanoma presented with pain, a large ciliochoroidal mass, visual decline, and diffuse intraocular inflammation.

Patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma survive longer if disease spreads to the lung but not the liver. Here we generated overlapping, multi-omic datasets to identify molecular and cellular features that distinguish patients whose disease develops liver metastasis (liver cohort) from those whose disease develops lung metastasis without liver metastases (lung cohort). Lung cohort patients survived longer than liver cohort patients, despite sharing the same tumor subtype.

Background: Manual extraction of real-world clinical data for research can be time-consuming and prone to error. We assessed the feasibility of using natural language processing (NLP), an AI technique, to automate data extraction for patients with advanced lung cancer (aLC). We assessed the external validity of our NLP-extracted data by comparing our findings to those reported in the literature.

Background/aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of the inflammatory burden index (IBI), a novel inflammation-based biomarker, in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) after hepatic resection.
Patients And Methods: One hundred fifty patients with CRLM who underwent hepatectomy were retrospectively analyzed. The IBI was defined as C-reactive protein × neutrophil count/lymphocyte count.
