Background. Several noninvasive models based on routine laboratory index have been developed to predict liver fibrosis. Our aim is to discuss whether these indexes could predict prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing hepatectomy. Methods. This study retrospectively enrolled 788 consecutive hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing liver resection in the cohort. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify the risk factors of complications, survival, and disease-free survival. Results. Fibrosis-4 index had the best prediction ability for cirrhosis among other noninvasive models. Both the univariate and multivariate analyses showed that fibrosis-4 was independent risk factor for survival and disease-free survival. With the optimal cutoff value of 3.15, patients with fibrosis-4 ⩾3.15 had higher postoperative hepatic insufficiency (P=0.006) and worse survival than the fibrosis-4<3.15 group. The corresponding 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year overall survival were 80.9%, 56.3%, and 44.6% in the High fibrosis-4 group and were 86.5%, 69.9%, and 63.2% in the Low fibrosis-4 group, respectively (P<0.001). Worse disease-free survival was also observed in the fibrosis-4 ⩾3.15 group; the corresponding 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year disease-free survival were 74.9%, 45.3%, and 24.6% for the fibrosis-4 ⩾3.15 group and were 81.8%, 54.9%, and 34.4% for the fibrosis-4<3.15 group (P=0.009). Conclusions. Fibrosis-4 is useful for assessing the short-term and long-term results for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with liver resection.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) for both short and long term outcomes after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods 162 (without any previous treatment) of 229 surgically treated HCC patients were retrospectively analyzed. The cut off value of the preoperative PNI was 45.0. Patients were divided into two groups, PNI low (n=76) and high (n=86) group. Results Among some immune parameters such as PNI, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to lymphocyte ratio (ALRI), PNI had most reliable parameters in terms with prediction of both short and long term outcomes. Preoperative PNI tended to correlate with low skeletal muscle mass (SMM). In short term outcomes, PNI low group were more likely to have postoperative complications. The disease-free survival rate in PNI low group was significantly worse than that in the PNI high group (20.5 vs. 48.7 %, 5 year SR, p=0.03). On multivariate analysis, Low PNI was an independent prognostic factor for disease free survival (HR 1.65, p= 0.04). Conclusions The preoperative PNI was the most significant prognostic factor for evaluating both short and long-term outcomes after liver resection for HCC.

ABSTRACT Background: Laparoscopic hepatectomy has presented great importance for treating malignant hepatic lesions. Aim: To evaluate its impact in relation to overall survival or disease free of the patients operated due different hepatic malignant tumors. Methods: Thirty-four laparoscopic hepatectomies were performed in 31 patients with malignant neoplasm. Patients were distributed as: Group 1 - colorectal metastases (n=14); Group 2 - hepatocellular carcinoma (n=8); and Group 3 - non-colorectal metastases and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (n=9). The conversion rate, morbidity, mortality and tumor recurrence were also evaluated. Results: Conversion to open surgery was 6%; morbidity 22%; postoperative mortality 3%. There was tumor recurrence in 11 cases. Medians of overall survival and disease free survival were respectively 60 and 46 m; however, there was no difference among studied groups (p>0,05). Conclusion: Long-term outcomes of laparoscopic hepatectomy for treating hepatic malignant tumors are satisfactory. There is no statistical difference in relation of both overall and disease free survival among different groups of hepatic neoplasms.

Long-term surgical outcomes after hepatic resection for hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients who achieved a sustained virological response (SVR) to interferon (IFN) therapy remain inconclusive. Clinical records of 277 patients who underwent hepatic resection for HCV-related early stage HCC (met the Milan criteria) between 1993 and 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Thirty-seven patients achieved the SVR during HCC detection (pre-SVR group), whereas 23 achieved SVR using adjuvant interferon therapy after hepatic resection (post-SVR group). The control group included remaining 217 patients. We investigated the SVR effects on surgical outcomes. Disease-free survival (DFS) rates at 5/10/15 years after hepatic resection were significantly greater in the pre and post-SVR groups than in the control group (46/30/30per cent and 61/36/27 per cent vs 23/7/7 per cent, respectively; P < 0.001). Overall survival (OS) rates at 10/15 years after hepatic resection were better in the pre- and post-SVR groups than in the control group (68/68 percent and 78/78 per cent vs 13/11 per cent, respectively; P < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, pre- and post-SVR were independent factors for no recurrence (pre-SVR: hazard ratio (HR), 0.48, P = 0.002; post-SVR: HR, 0.41, P = 0.001) and improved survival (pre-SVR: HR, 0.36, P = 0.002; post-SVR: HR, 0.122, P < 0.001). Achievement of SVR in patients with HCV-related HCC was associated with long-term disease-free survival and OS after hepatic resection.

In appropriately selected cases, palliative therapeutic strategies can be adapted to those special features of cancer biographies that indicate an atypical course of disease. Elucidating these features, and adapting multimodal treatment strategies to them, can lead to significantly superior effects when compared to the routine application of conventional treatment algorhythms. A case of regionally metastactic bladder cancer is presented that documents the value of repeat debulking-surgery and repeat radiotherapy leading to unexpected short-term and long-term treatment results.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Minimally invasive thoracic surgery has evolved with the introduction of robotic platforms. This study aimed to compare the long-term and short-term outcomes of the robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for anatomic lung resection. METHODS We searched published studies that investigated RATS and VATS in anatomic lung resection. Long-term outcomes (disease-free survival and overall survival) and short-term outcomes (30-day mortality, postoperative complications, conversion rate to open surgery and lymph node upstaging) were extracted. The features were compared and tested as hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) at a 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Twenty-five studies with 50 404 patients (7135 for RATS and 43 269 for VATS) were included. The RATS group had a longer disease-free survival than the VATS group (HR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.59–0.97; P = 0.03), and the overall survival showed a similar trend but was not statistically significant (HR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.57–1.05; P = 0.10). The RATS group showed a significantly lower 30-day mortality (OR: 0.55; 95% CI: 0.38–0.81; P = 0.002). No significant difference was found in postoperative complications (OR: 1.01; 95% CI: 0.87–1.16; P = 0.94), the conversion rate to open surgery (OR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.56–1.52; P = 0.75) and lymph node upstaging (OR: 0.89; 95% CI: 0.52–1.54; P = 0.68). CONCLUSIONS RATS has comparable short-term outcomes and potential long-term survival benefits for anatomic lung resection compared with VATS.

The analysis of long-term results of surgical treatment of 198 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) I -III stages. Bronchoplasty (BP) interventions were performed in 99 cases, the control group comprised 99 patients after pneumonectomies (PE) corresponding to the main prognostic criteria for patients after BP interventions. A 1-year, 3-year and 5-year observed survival rates of patients were 87.7%, 56.2% and 44.6% after BP versus 82.8%, 54.6% and 35.9% after PE, respectively. A 1-year, 3-year and 5-year disease-free survival in the BP group was 87.9%, 64.2% and 52.3% versus 88.1%, 61.6% and 37.9% in the PE group. The median of overall and disease-free survival was 51.4 and 55.2 months in the BP group versus 46.2 and 41.0 months in the PE group, respectively.
