783 Background: Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is increasingly utilized in the management of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of open vs. colonic resection of the primary tumour on outcomes following LLR. Methods: A prospectively maintained database was searched to identify all patients undergoing laparoscopic resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) between 1/1/2007 and 31/12/2013. Demographic, histological, surgical outcome and survival data were collated retrospectively. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Results: A total of 71 patients (median age 66 yr; 64% male) underwent resection in this study of whom 35 had a laparoscopic colectomy (LC). The presence of a previous open colectomy (OC) surgical morbidity (17% vs. 11%; p=0.53); conversion to open surgery (22% both groups; p=0.95); duration of surgery (240 min vs. 285 min; p=0.28); or length of hospital stay (5 vs. 6 days; p=0.98). Overall survival in this series was 47 months with no difference between groups (p=0.58). Patients who underwent OC appeared to have a poorer recurrence free survival (8 vs. 21 months; p=0.03) although on multivariate analysis the only factor predictive of early recurrence was a node positive primary (OR 3.8; p=0.05). Conclusions: In patients being considered for LLR for metastasic colorectal cancer the surgical approach to colectomy has no bearing on either short term surgical outcomes or longer term disease specific survival.

Background : Liver metastases of colorectal cancer are frequent and potentially fatal event in the evolution of patients with these tumors. Aim : In this module, was contextualized the clinical situations and parameterized epidemiological data and results of the various treatment modalities established. Method: Was realized deep discussion on detecting and staging metastatic colorectal cancer, as well as employment of imaging methods in the evaluation of response to instituted systemic therapy. Results : The next step was based on the definition of which patients would have their metastases considered resectable and how to expand the amount of patients elegible for modalities with curative intent. Conclusion : Were presented clinical, pathological and molecular prognostic factors, validated to be taken into account in clinical practice.

BackgroundThree-dimensional (3D) volumetric ablation margin assessment after thermal ablation of liver tumors using software has been described, but its predictive value on treatment efficacy when accounting for other factors known to correlate ablation site recurrence (ASR) remains unknown.PurposeTo investigate 3D quantitative ablation margins (3D-QAMs) as an algorithm to predict ASR within 1 year after stereotactic microwave ablation (SMWA) for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).Materials and MethodsSixty-five tumors in 47 patients from a prospective multicenter study of patients undergoing SMWA for CRLM were included in this retrospective 3D-QAM analysis. Using a previously developed algorithm, 3D-QAM defined as the distribution of tumor to ablation surface distances was assessed in co-registered pre- and post-ablation CT scans. The discriminatory power and optimal cutoff values for 3D-QAM were assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Multivariable logistic regression analysis using generalized estimating equations was applied to investigate the impact of various 3D-QAM outputs on 1-year ASR while accounting for other known influencing factors.ResultsTen of the 65 (15.4%) tumors included for 3D-QAM analysis developed ASR. ROC analyses identified i) 3D-QAM <1 mm for >23% of the tumor surface, ii) 3D-QAM <5 mm for >45%, and iii) the minimal ablation margin (MAM) as the 3D-QAM outputs with optimal discriminatory qualities. The multivariable regression model without 3D-QAM yielded tumor diameter and KRAS mutation as 1-year ASR predictors. When adding 3D-QAM, this factor became the main predictor of 1-year ASR [odds ratio (OR) 21.67 (CI 2.48, 165.21) if defined as >23% <1 mm; OR 0.52 (CI 0.29, 0.95) if defined as MAM].Conclusions3D-QAM allows objectifiable and standardized assessment of tumor coverage by the ablation zone after SMWA. Our data shows that 3D-QAM represents the most important factor predicting ASR within 1 year after SMWA of CRLM.
