Abstract Background Although the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system has been largely adopted in clinical practice, recent studies have emphasized need for further refinement and subclassification of this system. Methods Patients who underwent hepatectomy with curative intent BCLC-0, -A or -B hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) between 2000 2017 were identified using a multi-institutional database. The tumour burden score (TBS) was calculated, overall survival (OS) examined...
Objective: The objective of the current study was to define surgical outcomes after resection multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond Milan criteria, and develop a prediction tool identify which patients likely benefit most from resection. Background: Liver for HCC, especially remains controversial. Rigorous selection best candidates is essential achieve optimal liver advanced tumors. Methods: Patients who underwent HCC between 2000 2017 were identified an international...
BackgroundThe association between the prevalence of cirrhosis and types Fontan operations remains unclear.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective chart review 332 patients who underwent procedure at our institution. Four atriopulmonary connection were excluded from analysis. Patients had intracardiac-extracardiac conduit (126) 1989 2021 pooled with those having extracardiac (ECC) (134). The 260 ECC 68 lateral tunnel (LT) constitute core study.ResultsMedian age was 23.7 months (interquartile...

Abstract Background and Objective Financial hardship occurring as a result of cancer treatment has been termed financial toxicity is an established side effect the treatment. We investigated risk among patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancers. Methods All uninsured privately insured who underwent were identified from National Inpatient Sample. Publicly available government data used estimate income, food expenditure, average maximum out‐of‐pocket expenditure. Risk was defined...
<h3>Importance</h3> Typically defined as the top 5% of health care users,<i>super-utilizers</i>are responsible for an estimated 40% to 55% all costs. Little is known about which factors may be associated with increased risk long-term postoperative super-utilization. <h3>Objective</h3> To identify clusters patients distinct constellations clinical and comorbid patterns who elevated super-utilization in year following elective surgery. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A retrospective...
Abstract Background The aim of the current study was to identify minimum number and optimal range lymph nodes (LNs) be examined among patients with gallbladder cancer (GBC). Methods Between January 1, 2004, December 31, 2015, a diagnosis GBC were identified in National Cancer Database. A machine‐based learning approach used LNs evaluate relative long‐term outcomes. Results Among 6531 GBC, median evaluated 2 (IQR:1‐5); only 21.1% (n = 1376) had 6 or more evaluated. metastatic 0 (IQR: 0‐1). On...
Few data are available regarding the management and outcomes among patients with sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) due to its rarity.Patients diagnosed HCC from 2004 through 2015 were identified in National Cancer Data Base. Overall survival (OS) was calculated versus conventional using a 1:3 propensity score matching based on sex, age, American Joint Committee (AJCC) stage of disease.The final analytic cohort included 104 312 HCC. Patients more often had larger median tumor size...
