Impact of Laparoscopic Liver Resection on Long‐Term Outcomes and Non‐Liver‐Related Mortality in Elderly Patients With Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Multicenter Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this multicenter, propensity score–matched study of elderly patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma, we compared long‐term cause‐specific mortality between laparoscopic (LLR) and open liver resection (OLR) using a competing‐risks framework. Among patients aged ≥ 80 years, LLR was associated with a lower 5‐year cumulative incidence of death ...

Refining OVCAR‐3 xenograft models of peritoneal carcinomatosis in nu/nu mice: Comparative intraperitoneal implantation strategies and the role of basement membrane matrix

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A refined murine model of advanced ovarian cancer was established by comparing localized preperitoneal implantation and intraperitoneal injection of OVCAR‐3Luc cells. While localized implantation showed limited tumor persistence, intraperitoneal delivery with BME produced sustained diffuse dissemination confirmed by BLI and histology, providing a ...
