| 1 | Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative risk factors for anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic low anterior resection with double stapling technique anastomosis显示文摘Anastomotic leakage(AL) is one of the most devastating complications after rectal cancer surgery. The double stapling technique has greatly facilitated intestinal reconstruction especially for anastomosis after low anterior resection(LAR). Risk factor analyses for AL after open LAR have been widely reported. However, a few studies have analyzed the risk factors for AL after laparoscopic LAR. Laparoscopic rectal surgery provides an excellent operative field in a narrow pelvic space, and enables total mesorectal excision surgery and preservation of the autonomic nervous system with greater precision. However, rectal transection using a laparoscopic linear stapler is relatively difficult compared with open surgery because of the width and limited performance of the linear stapler. Moreover, laparoscopic LAR exhibits a different postoperative course compared with open LAR, which suggests that the risk factors for AL after laparoscopic LAR may also differ from those after open LAR. In this review, we will discuss the risk factors for AL after laparoscopic LAR. | Kenji Kawada Yoshiharu Sakai | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,25: | 53 |
| 2 | Endoscopic submucosal dissection vs endoscopic mucosal resection for early gastric cancer: A meta-analysis显示文摘AIM: To compare endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) and endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR) for early gastric cancer(EGC).METHODS: Computerized bibliographic search was performed on PubMed/Medline, Embase, Google Schol-ar and Cochrane library databases. Quality of each included study was assessed according to current Co-chrane guidelines. Primary endpoints were en bloc re-section rate and histologically complete resection rate. Secondary endpoints were length of procedure, post-treatment bleeding, post-procedural perforation and re-currence rate. Comparisons between the two treatment groups across all the included studies were performed by using Mantel-Haenszel test for fixed-effects mod-els(in case of low heterogeneity) or DerSimonian and Laird test for random-effects models(in case of high heterogeneity).RESULTS: Ten retrospective studies(8 full text and 2 abstracts) were included in the meta-analysis. Overall data on 4328 lesions, 1916 in the ESD and 2412 in the EMR group were pooled and analyzed. The mean operation time was longer for ESD than for EMR(stan-dardized mean difference 1.73, 95%CI: 0.52-2.95, P =0.005) and the 'en bloc ' and histological complete re-section rates were significantly higher in the ESD group [OR = 9.69(95%CI: 7.74-12.13), P < 0.001 and OR = 5.66,(95%CI: 2.92-10.96), P < 0.001, respectively]. As a consequence of its greater radicality, ESD provided lower recurrence rate [OR = 0.09,(95%CI: 0.05-0.17), P < 0.001]. Among complications, perforation rate was significantly higher after ESD [OR = 4.67,(95%CI, 2.77-7.87), P < 0.001] whereas the bleeding incidences did not differ between the two techniques [OR = 1.49(0.6-3.71), P = 0.39].CONCLUSION: In the endoscopic therapy of EGC, ESD showed a superior efficacy but higher complication rate with respect to EMR. | Antonio Facciorusso Matteo Antonino Marianna Di Maso Nicola Muscatiello | 2014 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2014,6,11: | 50 |
| 3 | Guide for diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is ranked as the 5th common type of cancer worldwide and is considered as the 3rd common reason for cancer-related deaths. HCC often occurs on top of a cirrhotic liver. The prognosisis determined by several factors; tumour extension, alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) concentration, histologic subtype of the tumour, degree of liver dysfunction, and the patient's performance status. HCC prognosis is strongly correlated with diagnostic delay. To date, no ideal screening modality has been developed. Analysis of recent studies showed that AFP assessment lacks adequate sensitivity and specificity for effective surveillance and diagnosis. Many tumour markers have been tested in clinical trials without progressing to routine use in clinical practice. Thus, surveillance is still based on ultrasound(US) examination every 6 mo. Imaging studies for diagnosis of HCC can fall into one of two main categories: routine non-invasive studies such as US, computed tomography(CT), and magnetic resonance imaging, and more specialized invasive techniques including CT during hepatic arteriography and CT arterial portography in addition to the conventional hepatic angiography. This article provides an overview and spotlight on the different diagnostic modalities and treatment options of HCC. | Magdy Hamed Attwa Shahira Aly El-Etreby | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,12: | 47 |
| 4 | Primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma:clinical analysis of 11 cases显示文摘BACKGROUND:Primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PHNEC) is extremely rare,and fewer than 300 cases have been reported in the English/Chinese-language literature,therefore it is difficult to make a proper diagnosis and determine a therapeutic approach.METHODS:Eleven PHNEC patients were admitted to our hospital between January 1996 and May 2008.Laboratory examination,digestive endoscopy,B-ultrasonography,CT,MRI,or PET-CT were performed on the patients for preoperative diagnosis.All patients received liver resection.Some patients received transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE),percutaneous ethanol injection treatment (PEIT),or octreotide injection when a recurrence was found.The patients' clinical data were recorded and all patients were followed up.RESULTS:The patients were confirmed pathologically as having PHNEC.Their median follow-up time was 33 months (12-107 months).All patients survived,and the longest postoperative survival time was 107 months,the longest diseasefree survival time was 98 months,the 1-year survival rate was 100%,and the 1-year recurrence rate was 45.5% (5/11).CONCLUSIONS:Since PHNEC is easy to confuse with hepatocellular carcinoma,careful screening of symptoms is needed to avoid misdiagnosis.Resection is the first choice of treatment for PHNEC and provides the most favorable outcomes including long-term survival.Other treatment such as TACE and PEIT can be considered as well,especially when a tumor recurs. | Huang, Yang-Qing Xu, Feng Yang, Jia-Mei Huang, Bin | 2010 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2010,9,1: | 36 |
| 5 | Endoscopic and surgical resection of T1a/T1b esophageal neoplasms: A systematic review显示文摘AIM: To investigate potential therapeutic recommendations for endoscopic and surgical resection of T1a/ T1b esophageal neoplasms. METHODS: A thorough search of electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, Pubmed and Cochrane Library, from 1997 up to January 2011 was performed. An analysis was carried out, pooling the effects of outcomes of 4241 patients enrolled in 80 retrospective studies. For comparisons across studies, each reporting on only one endoscopic method, we used a random effects meta-regression of the log-odds of the outcome of treatment in each study. 'Neural networks' as a data mining technique was employed in order to establish a prediction model of lymph node status in superficial submucosal esophageal carcinoma. Another data mining technique, the 'feature selection and root cause analysis', was used to identify the most impor-tant predictors of local recurrence and metachronous cancer development in endoscopically resected patients, and lymph node positivity in squamous carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (ADC) separately in surgically resected patients. RESULTS: Endoscopically resected patients: Low grade dysplasia was observed in 4% of patients, high grade dysplasia in 14.6%, carcinoma in situ in 19%, mucosal cancer in 54%, and submucosal cancer in 16% of patients. There were no significant differences between endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the following parameters: complications, patients submitted to surgery, positive margins, lymph node positivity, local recurrence and metachronous cancer. With regard to piecemeal resection, ESD performed better since the number of cases was significantly less [coefficient: -7.709438, 95%CI: (-11.03803, -4.380844), P < 0.001]; hence local recurrence rates were significantly lower [coefficient: -4.033528, 95%CI: (-6.151498, -1.915559),P < 0.01]. A higher rate of esophageal stenosis was observed following ESD [coefficient: 7.322266, 95%CI: (3.810146, 10.83439), P < 0.001]. A significantly greater number of SCC patients were submitted to surgery (log-odds, ADC: -2.1206 ± 0.6249 vs SCC: 4.1356 ± 0.4038, P < 0.05). The odds for re-classification of tumor stage after endoscopic resection were 53% and 39% for ADC and SCC, respectively. Local tumor recurrence was best predicted by grade 3 differentiation and piecemeal resection, metachronous cancer development by the carcinoma in situ component, and lymph node positivity by lymphovascular invasion. With regard to surgically resected patients: Significant differences in patients with positive lymph nodes were observed between ADC and SCC [coefficient: 1.889569, 95%CI: (0.3945146, 3.384624), P<0.01). In contrast, lymphovascular and microvascular invasion and grade 3 patients between histologic types were comparable, the respective rank order of the predictors of lymph node positivity was: Grade 3, lymphovascular invasion (L+), microvascular invasion (V+), submucosal (Sm) 3 invasion, Sm2 invasion and Sm1 invasion. Histologic type (ADC/SCC) was not included in the model. The best predictors for SCC lymph node positivity were Sm3 invasion and (V+). For ADC, the most important predictor was (L+). CONCLUSION: Local tumor recurrence is predicted by grade 3, metachronous cancer by the carcinoma insitu component, and lymph node positivity by L+. T1b cancer should be treated with surgical resection. | George Sgourakis Ines Gockel Hauke Lang | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,9: | 40 |
| 6 | Systematic review of surgical resection vs radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents one of the most common neoplasms worldwide. Surgical resection and local ablative therapies represent the most frequent first lines therapies adopted when liver transplantation can not be offered or is not immediately accessible. Hepatic resection (HR) is currently considered the most curative strategy, but in the last decade local ablative therapies have started to obtain satisfactory results in term of efficacy and, of them, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is considered the reference standard. An extensive literature review, from the year 2000, was performed, focusing on results coming from studies that directly compared HR and RFA. Qualities of the studies, characteristics of patients included, and patient survival and recurrence rates were analyzed. Except for three randomized controlled trials (RCT), most studies are affected by uncertain methodological approaches since surgical and ablated patients represent different populations as regards clinical and tumor features that are known to affect prognosis. Unfortunately, even the available RCTs report conflicting results. Until further evidences become available, it seems reasonable to offer RFA to very small HCC (< 2 cm) with no technical contraindications, since in this instance complete necrosis is most likely to be achieved. In larger nodules, namely > 2 cm and especially if > 3 cm, and/or in tumor locations in which ablation is not expected to be effective or safe, surgical removal is to be preferred. | Alessandro Cucchetti Fabio Piscaglia Matteo Cescon Giorgio Ercolani Antonio Daniele Pinna | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,26: | 40 |
| 7 | Endoscopic resection techniques for colorectal neoplasia:Current developments显示文摘Endoscopic polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR) are the established treatment standards for colorectal polyps. Current research aims at the reduction of both complication and recurrence rates as well as on shortening procedure times. Cold snare resection is the emerging standard for the treatment of smaller(< 5 mm) polyps and is possibly also suitable for the removal of noncancerous polyps up to 9 mm. The method avoids thermal damage, has reduced procedure times and probably also a lower risk for delayed bleeding. On the other end of the treatment spectrum, endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)offers en bloc resection of larger flat or sessile lesions. The technique has obvious advantages in the treatment of high-grade dysplasia and early cancer. Due to its minimal recurrence rate, it may also be an alternative to fractionated EMR of larger flat or sessile lesions. However, ESD is technically demanding and burdened by longer procedure times and higher costs. It should therefore be restricted to lesions suspicious for high-grade dysplasia or early invasive cancer.The latest addition to endoscopic resection techniques is endoscopic fullthickness resection with specifically developed devices for flexible endoscopy.This method is very useful for the treatment of smaller difficult-to-resect lesions,e.g., recurrence with scar formation after previous endoscopic resections. | Franz Ludwig Dumoulin Ralf Hildenbrand | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,3: | 35 |
| 8 | Impact of postoperative complications on long-term survival after radical resection for gastric cancer显示文摘AIM: To investigate the potential impact of complications in gastric cancer patients who survive the initial postoperative period. METHODS: Between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2006, 432 patients who received curative gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for gastric cancer at our department were studied. Associations between clinicopathological factors [age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, body mass index, tumornode-metastases (TNM) stage and tumor grade], including postoperative complications (defined as any deviation from an uneventful postoperative course within 30 d of the operation and survival rates) and treatment-specific factors (blood transfusion, neoadjuvant therapy and duration of surgery). Patients were divided into 2 groups: with (n = 54) or without (n = 378) complications. Survival curves were compared between the groups, and univariate and multivariate models were conducted to identify independent prognostic factors. RESULTS: Among the 432 patients evaluated, 61 com-plications occurred affecting 54 patients (12.50%).Complications included anastomotic leakages, gastric motility disorders, anastomotic block, wound infections, intra-abdominal abscesses, infectious diarrhea, bleeding, bowel obstructions, arrhythmias, angina pectoris, pneumonia, atelectasis, thrombosis, unexplained fever, delirium, ocular fungal infection and multiple organ failure. American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, body mass index, combined organ resection and median duration of operation were associated with higher post-operative complications. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 83.3%, 53.2% and 37.5%, respectively. In the univariate analysis, the size of lesions, TNM stage, blood transfusion, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and postoperative complications were significant predictors of overall survival. In the multivariate analysis, only TNM stage and the presence of complications remained significant predictors of reduced survival. CONCLUSION: The occurrence of in-hospital postoperative complications was an independent predictor of worse 5-year overall survival rate after radical resection of gastric cancer. | Qing-Guo Li Ping Li Dong Tang Jie Chen Dao-Rong Wang | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,25: | 33 |
| 9 | Recent developments and innovations in gastric cancer显示文摘Gastric cancer has an important place in the worldwide incidence of cancer and cancer-related deaths. It can metastasize to the lymph nodes in the early stages, and lymph node metastasis is an important prognostic factor. Surgery is a very important part of gastric cancer treatment. A D2 lymphadenectomy is the standard surgical treatment for c T1N+ and T2-T4 cancers, which are potentially curable. Recently, the TNM classification system was reorganized, and the margins for gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy were revised. Endoscopic, laparoscopic and robotic treatments of gastric cancer have progressed rapidly with development of surgical instruments and techniques, especially in Eastern countries. Different endoscopic resection techniques have been identified, and these can be divided into two main categories: endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection. Minimally invasive surgery has been reported to be safe and effective for early gastric cancer, and it can be successfully applied to advanced gastric cancer with increasing experience. Cytoreductive surgery and hypertherm?c intraper?toneal chemotherapy were developed as a combined treatment modality from the results of experimental and clinical studies. Also, hyperthermia increases the antitumor activity and penetration of chemotherapeutics. Trastuzumab which is a monoclonal antibody interacts with human epidermal growth factor(HER) 2 and is related to gastric carcinoma. The anti-tumor mechanism of trastuzumab is not clearly known, but mechanisms such as interruption of the HER2-mediated cell signaling pathways and cell cycle progression have been reported previously. H. pylori is involved in 90% of all gastric malignancies and Japanese guidelines strongly recommend that all H. pylori infections should be eradicated regardless of the associated disease. In this review, we present innovations discussed in recent studies. | Mehmet Mihmanli Enver Ilhan Ufuk Oguz Idiz Ali Alemdar Uygar Demir | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,17: | 29 |
| 10 | Comprehensive application of modern technologies in precise liver resection显示文摘BACKGROUND: Liver surgery has gone through the phases of wedge liver resection, regular resection of hepatic lobes, irregular and local resection, extracorporeal hepatectomy, hemi-extracorporeal hepatectomy and Da Vinci surgical system-assisted hepatectomy. Taking advantage of modern technologies, liver surgery is stepping into an age of precise liver resection. This review aimed to analyze the comprehensive application of modern technologies in precise liver resection. DATA SOURCE: PubMed search was carried out for English-language articles relevant to precise liver resection, liver anatomy, hepatic blood inflow blockage, parenchyma transection, and down-staging treatment. RESULTS: The 3D image system can imitate the liver operation procedures, conduct risk assessment, help to identify the operation feasibility and confirm the operation scheme. In addition, some techniques including puncture and injection of methylene blue into the target Glisson sheath help to precisely determine the resection. Alternative methods such as Pringle maneuver are helpful for hepatic blood inflow blockage in precise liver resection. Moreover, the use of exquisite equipment for liver parenchyma transection, such as cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator, ultrasonic scalpel, Ligasure and Tissue Link is also helpful to reduce hemorrhage in liver resection, or even operate exsanguinous liver resection without blocking hepatic blood flow. Furthermore, various down-staging therapies including transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and radio-frequency ablation were appropriate for unresectable cancer, which reverse the advanced tumor back to early phase by local or systemic treatment so that hepatectomy or liver transplantation is possible.CONCLUSIONS: Modern technologies mentioned in this paper are the key tool for achieving precise liver resection and can effectively lead to maximum preservation of anatomical structural integrity and functions of the remnant liver. In addition, large randomized trials are needed to evaluate the usefulness of these technologies in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have undergone precise liver resection. | Nian-Song Qian Yong-Hui Liao Shou-Wang Cai Vikram Raut Jia-Hong Dong | 2013 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2013,12,3: | 27 |
| 11 | Neoadjuvant radiotherapy for rectal cancer management显示文摘Thirty per cent of all colorectal tumours develop in the rectum.The location of the rectum within the bony pelvis and its proximity to vital structures presents significant therapeutic challenges when considering neoadjuvant options and surgical interventions.Most patients with early rectal cancer can be adequately managed by surgery alone.However,a significant proportion of patients with rectal cancer present with locally advanced disease and will potentially benefit from down staging prior to surgery.Neoadjuvant therapy involves a variety of options including radiotherapy,chemotherapy used alone or in combination.Neoadjuvant radiotherapy in rectal cancer has been shown to be effective in reducing tumour burden in advance of curative surgery.The gold standard surgical rectal cancer management aims to achieve surgical removal of the tumour and all draining lymph nodes,within an intact mesorectal package,in order to minimise local recurrence.It is critically important that all rectal cancer cases are discussed at a multidisciplinary meeting represented by all relevant specialties.Pre-operative staging including CT thorax,abdomen,pelvis to assess for distal disease and magnetic resonance imaging to assess local involvement is essential.Staging radiology and MDT discussion are integral in identifying patients who require neoadjuvant radiotherapy.While Neoadjuvant radiotherapy is potentially beneficial it may also result in morbidity and thus should be reserved for those patients who are at a high risk of local failure,which includes patients with nodal involvement,extramural venous invasion and threatened circumferential margin.The aim of this review is to discuss the role of neoadjuvant radiotherapy in the management of rectal cancer. | Gerard Feeney Rishabh Sehgal Margaret Sheehan Aisling Hogan Mark Regan Myles Joyce Michael Kerin | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,33: | 28 |
| 12 | Efficacy and safety of 0.4 percent sodium hyaluronate for endoscopic submucosal dissection of gastric neoplasms显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium hyaluronate solution(SH) in endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) of gastric neoplasms.METHODS:A prospective multicenter randomized,double blind,controlled trial was designed and utilized in this study.A total of 76 patients with 5-20 mm sized gastric neoplasms were enrolled at three academic hospitals in South Korea from June 2011 to October 2011.Patients were randomly assigned to the 0.4% sodium hyaluronate or control groups.All lesions underwent endoscopic ESD.ESD was performed with 0.4%SH and normal saline(NS) solution for submucosal injection.Efficacy was assessed using en bloc resection and the number of additional injections.Secondary evaluation variables were the volume of injection material,steepness of mucosal elevation,bleeding rate,procedural time and operator satisfaction.Finally,the safety was assessed by analyzing adverse events during the study.RESULTS:The usefulness rate in the 0.4%SH group and the controlled group had statistically significant difference under intention to treat(ITT) analysis(90.91% vs 61.11% P = 0.0041).Under per protocol(PP),the usefulness rate is statistically significant different(93.10% vs 61.76%,P = 0.0036).The difference in volume of the solution injected between 0.4%SH group and the controlled group and NS group was also statistically significant under intention to treat and per protocol analysis(ITT:0.03 ± 0.02 mL vs 0.06 ± 0.03 mL,P = 0.0003,PP:0.03 ± 0.02 mL vs 0.06 ± 0.03 mL,P = 0.0004).Satisfaction above the grade good was significantly higher in the SH group under intention to treat and per protocol analysis(ITT:90.91% vs 61.11%,P = 0.0041,PP = 93.11% vs 61.77%,P = 0.0022).Adverse events above grade 3 were not noticed in either group.All adverse events were treated and were judged as not associated with the submucosal injection solutions.CONCLUSION:0.4%SH solution is a safe and effective agent that doesn't cause any significant adverse events and is useful for submucosal injection during ESD. | Young Dae Kim Jun Lee Ju Yeon Cho Seok Won Kim Seong Hwan Kim Young Kwan Cho Jin Seok Jang Ji Sun Han Joo Young Cho | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,20: | 26 |
| 13 | Nomogram to predict overall survival after gallbladder cancer resection in China显示文摘AIM To integrate clinically significant variables related to prognosis after curative resection for gallbladder carcinoma(GBC) into a predictive nomogram.METHODS One hundred and forty-two GBC patients who underwent curative intent surgical resection at Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH) were included. This retrospective case study was conducted at PUMCH of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College(CAMS & PUMC) in China from January 1, 2003 to January 1, 2018. The continuous variable carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA19-9) was converted into a categorical variable(cCA19-9) based on the normal reference range. Stages 0 to IIIA were merged into one category, while the remaining stages were grouped into another category. Pathological grade X(GX) was treated as a missing value. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to select variables to construct a nomogram. Discrimination and calibration of the nomogram were performed via the concordance index(C-index) and calibration plots. The performance of the nomogram was estimated using the calibration curve. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis and decision curve analysis(DCA) were performed to evaluate the predictive accuracy and net benefit of the nomogram, respectively.RESULTS Of these 142 GBC patients, 55(38.7%) were male, and the median and mean age were 64 and 63.9 years, respectively. Forty-eight(33.8%) patients in this cohort were censored in the survival analysis. The median survival time was 20 months. A series of methods, including the likelihood ratio test and Akaike information criterion(AIC) as well as stepwise, forward, and backward analyses, were used to select the model, and all yielded identical results. Jaundice [hazard ratio(HR) = 2.9; 95% confidence interval(CI): 1.60-5.27], cCA19-9(HR = 3.2; 95%CI: 1.91-5.39), stage(HR = 1.89; 95%CI: 1.16-3.09), and resection(R)(HR = 2.82; 95%CI: 1.54-5.16) were selected as significant predictors and combined into a survival time predictive nomogram(C-index = 0.803; 95%CI: 0.766-0.839). High prediction accuracy(adjusted C-index = 0.797) was further verified via bootstrap validation. The calibration plot demonstrated good performance of the nomogram. ROC curve analysis revealed a high sensitivity and specificity. A high net benefit was proven by DCA.CONCLUSION A nomogram has been constructed to predict the overall survival of GBC patients who underwent radical surgery from a clinical database of GBC at PUMCH. | Yi Bai Zhi-Song Liu Jian-Ping Xiong Wei-Yu Xu Jian-Zhen Lin Jun-Yu Long Fei Miao Han-Chun Huang Xue-Shuai Wan Hai-Tao Zhao | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,45: | 25 |
| 14 | Endoscopic removal of gastric ectopic pancreas:An initial experience with endoscopic submucosal dissection显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the therapeutic usefulness and safety of endoscopic resection in patients with gastric ectopic pancreas.METHODS:A total of eight patients with ectopic pancreas were included.All of them underwent endoscopic ultrasonography before endoscopic resection.Endo-scopic resection was performed by two methods:endo-scopic mucosal resection(EMR)by the injection-and-cut technique or endoscopic mucosal dissection(ESD).RESULTS:We planned to perform EMR in all eight cases but EMR was successful in only four cases.In the other four cases,saline spread into surrounding normal tissues and the lesions becameattened,which made it impossible to remove them by EMR.Inthose four cases,we performed ESD and removed the lesions without any complications.CONCLUSION:If conventional EMR is difficult to remove gastric ectopic pancreas,ESD is a feasible alternative method for successful removal. | Dong Yup Ryu Gwang Ha Kim Do Youn Park Bong Eun Lee Jae Hoon Cheong Dong Uk Kim Hyun Young Woo Jeong Heo Geun Am Song | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,36: | 24 |
| 15 | Bridging and downstaging treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients on the waiting list for liver transplantation显示文摘Several therapeutic procedures have been proposed as bridging treatments for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)awaiting liver transplantation(LT).The most used treatments include transarterial chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation.Surgical resection has also been successfully used as a bridging procedure,and LT should be considered a rescue treatment in patients with previous HCC resection who experience tumor recurrence or post-treatment severe decompensation of liver function.The aims of bridging treatments include decreasing the waiting list dropout rate before transplantation,reducing HCC recurrence after transplantation,and improving post-transplant overall survival.To date,no data from prospective randomized studies are available;however,for HCC patients listed for LT within the Milan criteria,prolonging the waiting time over 6-12 mo is a risk factor for tumor spread.Bridging treatments are useful in containing tumor progression and decreasing dropout.Furthermore,the response to pre-LT treatments may represent a surrogate marker of tumor biological aggressiveness and could therefore be evaluated to prioritize HCC candidates for LT.Lastly,although a definitive conclusion can not be reached,the experiences reported to date suggest a positive impact of these treatments on both tumor recurrence and post-transplant patient survival.Advanced HCC may be downstaged to achieve and maintain the current conventional criteria for inclusion in the waiting list for LT.Recent studies have demonstrated that successfully downstaged patients can achieve a 5-year survival rate comparable to that of patients meeting the conventional criteria without requiring downstaging. | Maurizio Pompili Giampiero Francica Francesca Romana Ponziani Roberto Iezzi Alfonso Wolfango Avolio | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,43: | 24 |
| 16 | Recurrence and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma: progress and prospects显示文摘Background: Recurrence after resection of hepatocellu-lar carcinoma(HCC) is a major obstacle to improveprognosis. Therefore, further improvement of long-term survival may depend on prevention and treat-ment of the recurrent tumor.Objective: To evaluate the progress of surgery forHCC, the risk factors for recurrence, and clinical andbasic studies on the prevention and management of re-currence and metastasis after resection of HCC.Data sources: A review of currently available data inthe mentioned areas.Data synthesis: Encouraging changes in the prognosticpattern were observed when the primary liver cancer(PLC) data of 1958-1967 (n=118), 1968-1977 (n=356), 1978-1987(n=715) and 1988-1997 (n=2038)were compared. The 5-year survival was 2.8%, 7.3%,27.1% and 52.5%, respectively, and the 10-yearsurvival 2.8%, 4.3%, 19.8% and 39.9%, respective-ly. Risk factors for recurrence included symptomaticpatient, high γ-glutamyl-peptidase (γ-PGT), largetumor size, portal vein embolus, advanced tumorstage, etc. Active hepatitis activity in the nontumorousliver and perioperative transfusion enhanced the re-currence. Molecular research into the invasiveness ofHCC identified some factors positively related to inva-siveness: p16 and p53 mutation, H-ras, c-cerbB2,mdm2, transforming growth factor (TGF), epidermalgrowth factor receptor (EGF-R), matrix metallopro-teinase-2 (MMP-2), urokinasetype plasminogen acti-vator (uPA), its receptor (uPA-R) and inhibitor(PAI-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).In contrast, some factors were negatively related toHCC invasiveness: nm23-H1, Kai-1, tissue inhibitor ofmetalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2), integrin 5, and E-cadherin. Re-resection of subclinical recurrence yield-ed a 5-year survival of 56.0% calculated from the firstresection (n=202) .Postoperative transarterialchemoembolization (TACE, n=103), hepatic arterycannulation during operation (n=105), postoperativebiotherapy (n=49), and cryohepatectomy (cryosurgeryfollowed by immediate resection of the frozen tumor,n=84) might decrease the recurrence rate, and the3-year recurrence rate was 7.6%, 18.0%, 11.1%, and30.1%, respectively. Minimal intraoperative blood lossand transfusion could reduce postoperative recurrence,although the exact mechanism remains to be elucidat-ed.Conlusions: HCC invasiveness is the major topic to bestudied, particularly in the molecular level. Anti-an-giogenesis, biotherapy, novel approach based on molec-ular findings, and multidisciplinary interventions mightalso be important for HCC. | Xin-Da Zhou From the Liver Cancer Institute, Zhong Shan Hospital, Fudan University Medical Center, Shanghai 200032, China | 2002 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2002,1,1: | 22 |
| 17 | Laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal carcinoma:Complications and management in 132 consecutive patients显示文摘AIM:To analyze the clinical manifestations and risk fac-tors of complications in laparoscopic low anterior resection(LAR)for rectal cancer patients.METHODS:A series of 132 consecutive patients who received laparoscopic LAR for rectal cancer in our center were included.The etiology,diagnosis,treatment and prevention of rectal cancer were studied among the patients with surgery-related complications using both univariate and multivariate regression analysis.RESULTS:No conversion to open surgery was observed and 5 cases converted to hand-assisted laparoscopic operation.The overall morbidity rate was 20.5%.Complications occurred during the operation in 7 patients(5.3%),within 30 postoperative days in 24 patients(18.2%),and within 3 mo in 2 patients(1.5%).The most significant complications were anastomotic leak-age(9.1%)and anastomotic hemorrhage(5.3%).Sizeand location of tumor,pathological staging and preoperative nutrition were significant factors associated with LAR complications,while gender,age and pathological type showed no relevance.Binary logistics regression showed that the size and location of tumor,and pathological staging were independent factors of laparoscopic LAR.All the complications were treated during their onset of clinical manifestations by interventional or conservative therapy.CONCLUSION:Anastomotic leakage is a major com-plication in laparoscopic LAR.The complications may be associated with tumor size and site,and pathological stage.Interventional therapies are of value in the management of laparoscopic LAR complications. | Qian-Lin Zhu,Bo Feng,Ai-Guo Lu,Ming-Liang Wang,Wei-Guo Hu,Jian-Wen Li,Zhi-Hai Mao,Min-Hua Zheng,Department of General Surgery,Shanghai Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,Shanghai 200025,China Shanghai Minimally Invasive Surgery Center,Shanghai 200025,China | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,36: | 23 |
| 18 | Hepatocellular carcinoma: Advances in diagnosis, management, and long term outcome显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) remains a common and lethal malignancy worldwide and arises in the setting of a host of diseases. The incidence continues to increase despite multiple vaccines and therapies for viruses such as the hepatitis B and C viruses. In addition, due to the growing incidence of obesity in Western society, there is anticipation that there will be a growing population with HCC due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Due to the growing frequency of this disease, screening is recommended using ultrasound with further imaging using magnetic resonance imaging and multi-detector computed tomography used for further characterization of masses. Great advances have been made to help with the early diagnosis of small lesions leading to potential curative resection or transplantation. Resection and transplantation maybe used in a variety of patients that are carefully selected based on underlying liver disease. Using certain guidelines and clinical acumen patients may have good outcomes with either resection or transplantation however many patients are inoperable at time of presentation. Fortunately, the use of new locoregional therapies has made down staging patients a potential option making them potential surgical candidates. Despite a growing population with HCC, new advances in viral therapies, chemotherapeutics, and an expanding population of surgical and transplant candidates might all contribute to improved long-term survival of these patients. | Adam S Bodzin Ronald W Busuttil | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,9: | 22 |
| 19 | Precision surgery for primary liver cancer显示文摘Liver resection remains the best curative option for primary liver cancer, such as hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.In particular, in liver resection for HCC, anatomical resection of the tumor-bearing segments is highly recommended to eradicate the intrahepatic metastases spreading through portal venous branches.Anatomical liver resection,including anatomical segmentectomy and subsegmentectomy using the dye-injection method, is technically demanding and requires experience for completion of a precise procedure.The recent development of imaging studies and new computer technologies has allowed for the preoperative design of the operative procedure, intraoperative navigation, and postoperative quality evaluation of the anatomical liver resection.Although these new technologies are related to the progress of artificial intelligence, the actual operative procedure is still performed as human-hand work.A precise anatomical liver resection still requires meticulous exposure of the boundary of hepatic venous tributaries with deep knowledge of liver anatomy and utilization of intraoperative ultrasonography. | Takeshi Takamoto Masatoshi Makuuchi | 2019 | Cancer Biology & Medicine2019,16,3: | 23 |
| 20 | Robot-assisted laparoscopic vs open gastrectomy for gastric cancer:Systematic review and meta-analysis显示文摘AIM To evaluate the potential effectiveness of robot-assisted gastrectomy(RAG) in comparison to open gastrectomy(OG) for gastric cancer patients.METHODS A comprehensive systematic literature search using PubM ed,EMBASE,and the Cochrane Library was carried out to identify studies comparing RAG and OG in gastric cancer.Participants of any age and sex were considered for inclusion in comparative studies of the two techniques independently from type of gastrectomy.A meta-analysis of short-term perioperative outcomes was performed to evaluate whether RAG is equivalent to OG.The primary outcome measures were set for estimated blood loss,operative time,conversion rate,morbidity,and hospital stay.Secondary among postoperative complications,wound infection,bleeding and anastomotic leakage were also analysed.RESULTS A total of 6 articles,5 retrospective and 1 randomized controlled study,involving 6123 patients overall,with 689(11.3%) cases submitted to RAG and 5434(88.7%) to OG,satisfied the eligibility criteria and were included in the meta-analysis.RAG was associated with longer operation time than OG(weighted mean difference 72.20 min;P < 0.001),but with reduction in blood loss and shorter hospital stay(weighted mean difference-166.83 mL and-1.97 d respectively;P < 0.001).No differences were found with respect to overall postoperative complications(P = 0.65),wound infection(P = 0.35),bleeding(P = 0.65),and anastomotic leakage(P = 0.06).The postoperative mortality rates were similar between the two groups.With respect to oncological outcomes,no statistical differences among the number of harvested lymph nodes were found(weighted mean difference-1.12;P = 0.10).CONCLUSION RAG seems to be a technically valid alternative to OG for performing radical gastrectomy in gastric cancer resulting in safe complications. | Stefano Caruso Alberto Patriti Franco Roviello Lorenzo De Franco Franco Franceschini Graziano Ceccarelli Andrea Coratti | 2017 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2017,8,3: | 23 |
