Potential benefits of neoadjuvant radiotherapy prior to "en bloc" compartmental resection of pure retroperitoneal liposarcomas.

Retroperitoneal liposarcomas(RPL) are rare malignant tumors, accounting for approximately 15% of soft tissue sarcomas and 0.07-0.2% of all cancers.

Simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation: future perspective.

Background: The aims of this narrative review were (i) to describe the current indications of SLKT, (ii) to report evolution of SLKT activity, (iii) to report the outcomes of SLKT, (iv) to explain the immune-protective effect of liver transplant on kidney transplant, (v) to explain the interest of delay kidney transplantation, using hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP), (vi) to report kidney after liver transplantation (KALT) indications and (vii) to describe the value of the increase in the use of extended criteria donors (ECD) and particular controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) transplant, thanks to the development of new organ preservation strategies.

Method: Electronic databases were screened using the keywords "Simultaneous", "Combined", "kidney transplantation" and "liver transplantation". The methodological and clinical heterogeneity of the included studies meant that meta-analysis was inappropriate.

Kidney transplantation from elderly donors (> 70 years): a systematic review.

Purpose: The incidence of kidney transplants from elderly donors over 70 years of age has increased significantly over the past 10 years to reach 20% of available kidney graft in some European countries. However, there is little data available on the outcomes of transplants from these donors. We performed a systematic review to evaluate the outcomes of transplantation from donors over 70 years of age.

Living-donor kidney transplantation: comparison of sequential and simultaneous surgical organizations.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) performed either sequentially, in one operating room, leading to extended cold ischemia time (CIT) or simultaneously, in two different operating room, with shorter CIT.

Methods: We retrospectively included all living-donor nephrectomies and kidney transplantations, performed from March 2010 to March 2014, in three French university centers. In the first one (C1), LDKTs were performed in sequential manner (Sequential group) and in C2 and C3, LDKTs were performed in simultaneous manner (Simultaneous group).
