ABSTRACT Background Patients in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected by liver cancers but there is a lack of understanding of their postoperative outcomes. This study aimed to review the current status of research in LMICs regarding outcomes after oncologic hepatectomy and synthesize the data reported in the ...

Liver Resection With Extrahepatic Disease: A Population‐Based Analysis of Thoughtful Selection
ABSTRACT Background The oncologic benefit of liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in the setting of concurrent extrahepatic disease (EHD) is controversial. We performed a population‐based, cross‐sectional study to determine the practice patterns and overall survival (OS) of patients with CRLM + EHD who underwent liver resection ...

Single injection dual phase CBCT technique ameliorates results of trans-arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular cancer [PDF]
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) application to the field of trans-arterial chemoembolization has been recently the focus of several researches. This imaging modality is performed with a rotation of the C-arm around the patient, without needs of patient repositioning.

Under EUS guidance, the splenic lobe was located and 90Y‐loaded carbon microspheres were implanted into the pancreas of the Bama miniature pigs. Positron emission imaging/computer tomography (PET/CT) imaging was used to check the occurrence of particle displacement and radioactivity postoperatively.

The research highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting monocytic myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (mMDSCs) and demonstrates the effectiveness of Microparticle TACE (mTACE) in reshaping the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. This offers new avenues for innovative immunotherapeutic approaches in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) management ...
