Context The standard criteria used to evaluate tumor response, the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), were developed to assess tumor shrinkage after cytotoxic chemotherapy and may be limited in assessing ...

Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has become a common treatment of patients with unresectable primary and secondary hepatic malignancies. We performed this prospective analysis to determine early (within 30 days) ...

Purpose Prolonged survival after two-stage resection (TSR) of advanced colorectal liver metastases (CLM) may be the result of selection of best responders to chemotherapy. The impact of complete resection in this well-selected ...

Objective To determine the impact of surgical margin status on overall survival (OS) of patients undergoing hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) after modern preoperative chemotherapy. Summary Background ...

Background Hepatic resection (HR) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have been proposed as equivalent treatments for colorectal liver metastasis. Hypothesis Recurrence patterns after HR and RFA for solitary liver ...

Background: Progress in the treatment of hepatic colorectal metastases (HCRM) demands pathologic indicators of therapy response. We observed that a majority of residual tumor cells are seen at the tumor-normal interface ...
