427 Background: Official guidelines and retrospective studies have different view on the role of hepatic resection (HR) for patients with large (≥5 cm) multinodular (≥2) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and those involving macrovascular invasion (MVI). We aim to evaluate the efficacy and its variation trend and the safety of HR for these patients in three tertiary care settings. Methods: A consecutive sample of 1,824 patients with Child-Pugh A liver function and large/multinodular HCC or involving MVI and who underwent initial HR were divided into four groups: large/multinodular HCC of the previous (2000-2004, n = 496) and recent five years (2005-2010, n = 765), involving MVI of the previous (n = 242) and recent five years (n = 321). Results: Among our patient sample, the hospital mortality was less than 5% and had a downward trend. Moreover, patients in recent five years have statistically significant longer survival time. Among patients with large/multinodular HCC, patients in recent five years showed a significantly better overall survival than those in previous five years at 1-year (92% vs. 84%), 3-year (69% vs. 61%), and 5-year (45% vs. 40%) (P = 0.004). Moreover, among patients involving MVI, overall survival in recent five years was significantly higher at 1-year (83% vs. 78%), 3-year (50% vs. 41%), and 5-year (25% vs. 17%) (P= 0.033). However, the disease-free survival of recent five years was only slightly higher than that of the previous five years in the two subgroups. Conclusions: HR offers good overall survival for patients with resectable large/multinodular HCC or those involving MVI and with preserved liver function. Outcomes have tended to improve in recent decade.

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.

Objective: To evaluate the clinicopathological features, outcomes and prognostic factors affecting the disease-free interval in women with adult-type granulosa cell tumor.Methods: A retrospective descriptive study of patients with adult-type granulosa cell tumors of the ovary (AGCTs) during January 2001 to October 2016 were recruited. The data record of all patients was analyzed to determine clinic-pathological features, treatment, survival, and prognostic factors.Results: Eighteen women with adult-type granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs) were diagnosed. The mean age+ SD was 48.72+ 5.95 years. The adnexal mass was the most common presenting symptoms (83.3%) and most were diagnosed in FIGO stage I (83.3%). The majority of patients (55.6 %) were treated with complete staging surgery. Additionally, 22.2% were given postoperative chemotherapy. Endometrial cancer was detected in only one case. The mean follow-up period+ SD was 43.11+ 26.02 months. No recurrence of disease was observed in all patients. The estimated 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 95% regardless of the stage of the disease. The stage disease slightly influenced disease-free survival. However, no statistical difference between stages (p=0.52). No prognostic factors associated with DFS significantly.Conclusion: The majority of the patients with adult-type granulosa cell tumors of the ovary (AGCTs) presented in the early stage of disease and have an excellent survival rate. Tumor removal procedure with or without complete staging surgery seemed to be the appropriate treatment for granulosa cell tumors. No prognostic factors affecting on disease-free survival rate was found.

Background: Inflammatory markers are regarded as prognostic factors of the outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Examples include the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR); platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR); the albumin and lymphocyte counts used in the prognostic nutritional index (PNI); and the neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts used in the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). This study evaluates the effects of PNI, NLR, PLR, and SII to predict recurrence and survival in patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stages 0-A of HCC after hepatectomy. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Kaohsiung Chung-Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan. The study enrolled 891 patients (77.9% males; mean age 58.53 ± 11.60 years) with BCLC stage 0/A HCC undergoing hepatectomy between 2001 and 2016. PNI, NLR, PLR and SII were measured before hepatectomy. Results: High NLR (>1.8) was adversely associated with overall survival (p = 0.032). Low PNI (≤45) was adversely associated with overall survival and disease-free survival (p < 0.001). Low SII (≤45) also had an adverse association with overall survival (p = 0.008) and disease-free survival (p < 0.001). Diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis, microvascular invasion, low PNI (≤45), and low SII (≤160) were independently associated with poor overall survival in a multivariate analysis. HCV infection, diabetes mellitus, cirrhosis, microvascular invasion, low PNI, and low SII were independent prognostic factors of recurrent HCC. The combined use of PNI and SII provided improved prognostic information. Conclusions: Low PNI and low SII are significantly poor prognostic factors for overall survival and recurrence in patients with BCLC 0-A hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatectomy.

In this paper we aimed to address the role of pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) in patients affected by Lung Metastases (LM) from Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) and to analyse prognostic factors affecting overall survival (OS), disease-free interval (DFI) between primary RCC and first LM, and disease-free survival (DFS) after PM and before lung recurrence. Medical records of 210 patients who underwent PM from RCC in 4 Italian Thoracic Centres, from January 2000 to September 2019, were collected and analysed. All patients underwent RCC resection before lung surgery. The main RCC histology was clear cells (188, 89.5%). The 5- and 10-year OS from the first lung operation were 60% and 34%, respectively. LM synchronous with RCC (p = 0.01) and (Karnofsky Performance Status Scale) KPSS < 80% (p < 0.001) negatively influenced OS. Five- and 10-year DFI were 54% and 28%, respectively. The main factors negatively influencing DFI were: male gender (p = 0.039), KPSS < 80% (p = 0.009) and lactate dehydrogenase > 1.5 times 140 U/L (p = 0.001). Five- and 10-year disease-free survival were 54% and 28%, respectively; multiple LM (p = 0.036), KPSS < 80% (p = 0.001) and histology of RCC other than clear cells negatively influenced disease-free survival. Conclusions: patients with KPSS > 80%, single metachronous LM with a long DFI from RCC diagnosis, and clear cell histology, benefit from pulmonary metastasectomy.
