We designed a retrospective study to compare prognostic outcomes based on whether or not surgical resection was performed in elderly patients aged(≥75 years) with resectable pancreatic cancer.We retrospectively analyzed 49 cancer (surgery group, for 38 cases; no surgery 11 cases) diagnosed from January 2003 December 2014 at the National Cancer Center, Korea.There significant difference demographics between two groups. The group showed significantly better overall survival after diagnosis...
Abstract Background and Aim In most patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHCC), major hepatectomy extrahepatic bile duct resection are needed for surgical radicality, a high risk of hepatic insufficiency exists. This study aims to develop prediction model post‐hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in PHCC. Methods A total 143 who underwent PHCC between October 2001 December 2013 were included. Clinically relevant PHLF was defined as corresponding grade B or C the International Study Group...
We designed the study to clarify prognostic significance of perioperative (preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative) red blood cell (RBC) transfusion following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for periampullary cancers. This retrospectively analyzed 244 cancer patients (pancreatic cancer, 124 patients; bile duct 63 ampullary 57 patients) treated by PD from June 2001 2010 at National Cancer Center, Korea (NCC2017-0106). A total 112 (46%) had received 5%; 17%; postoperative, 37%). The...
Abstract We aimed to identify the factors for very early recurrence (within 6 months) of ampullary cancer following curative resection and compare immunohistochemical expression rate various antibodies between 2 main histologic subtypes adenocarcinoma. In this retrospective study, postoperative outcomes clinicopathologic that occurred in 14 93 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) adenocarcinoma January 2002 August 2014 were analyzed. Thereafter, we identified associated with...
Hospital-based clinical studies have limitations in holistic assessment of cancer treatment and prognosis, as they omit out-of-hospital patients including elderly individuals. This study aimed to investigate trends initial corresponding prognosis with exocrine pancreatic (EPC) Korea.
Despite hepatolithiasis being a risk factor for biliary neoplasm including cholangiocarcinoma, the incidence of underlying is unknown in patients with preoperative benign hepatolithiasis. The aim this study was to evaluate who underwent major hepatectomy hepatolithiasis.Between March 2005 and December 2015, 73 were enrolled study. pathological differentiation concomitant retrospectively determined by review medical records. Postoperative complications after evaluated.Concomitant...
We describe 2 cases of patients with loss hepatic arterial flow during surgery for pancreatic head cancer due to celiac stenosis caused by median arcuate ligament compression. The first case underwent pylorus-resecting pancreatoduodenectomy cancer. After resection the gastroduodenal artery, in common artery disappeared, and axis was identified. Interventional stent insertion attempted, however, it failed acute angle orifice (os). This problem resolved reconstruction. second...
This study aimed to analyze the current trends and predict epidemiologic features of hepatobiliary pancreatic (HBP) cancers according Korea Central Cancer Registry provide insights into health policy.Incidence data from 1999 2017 mortality 2002 2018 were obtained National Incidence Database Statistics Korea, respectively. The future incidence rate 2040 2019 each HBP cancer predicted using an age-period-cohort model. All analyses, including mortality, stratified by sex.From 2017,...
Abstract Background We hypothesized that a learning curve exists for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and the factors show degree of improvement over time differ among surgeons. Methods analysed outcomes PD in 300 patients operated by two surgeons between 2001 2014; these comprised first 150 each surgeon. Patients surgeon were classified into three groups according to chronological sequence operation (50 per group). Results For A, median (496 versus 454 418 min, P < 0.001) mean amount red blood...
