Recurrence and outcomes following hepatic resection, radiofrequency ablation, and combined resection/ablation for colorectal liver metastases.
OBJECTIVE To examine recurrence and survival rates for patients treated with hepatic resection only, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) plus resection or RFA only for colorectal liver metastases. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Thermal destruction techniques, particularly RFA, have been rapidly accepted into surgical practice in the last 5 years. Long-term survival data following treatment of colorectal l...
متن کاملPerspectives in mammalian IGFBP-3 biology: local vs. systemic action.
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein (IGFBP)-3 has traditionally been defined by its role as a binding protein and its association with IGF delivery and availability. Development of non-IGF binding IGFBP-3 analogs and the use of cell lines devoid of type 1 IGF receptors (IGF-R) have led to critical advances in the field of IGFBP-3 biology. These studies show that IGFBP-3 has IGF-ind...
متن کاملLocal recurrence of choroidal malignant melanoma following enucleation.
542 cases of choroidal malignant melanoma were reviewed. Local recurrence occurred in only 6 patients (1.11%). Five of the 6 patients had distant metastases when the local recurrence was diagnosed, and the remaining patient also developed metastases after a passage of time. These figures do not support the concept of withholding a primary implant at the time of enucleation.
متن کاملAggressive multimodality treatment for intra-hepatic recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma following hepatic resection.
BACKGROUND Intra-hepatic recurrence following hepatic resection is the primary challenge for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the long-term results of multimodality treatment of patients with intra-hepatic recurrent HCC following hepatic resection. METHODS From January 1995 through December 2001, a total of 846 patients who underwent ...
متن کاملThe role of radiofrequency ablation for treatment of metachronous isolated hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer
We investigated recurrence pattern and oncologic outcomes after treatment of metachronous isolated liver metastases from colorectal cancer according to treatment modality.We retrospectively analyzed 123 patients treated with hepatic resection and 82 patients treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for metachronous isolated hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer (HMCRC). We compared clinic...
