Predicting Lymph Node Metastasis in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
Tsilimigras, DI; Sahara, K; Paredes, AZ; Moro, A; Mehta, R; Moris, D; Guglielmi, A; Aldrighetti, L; Weiss, M; Bauer, TW; Alexandrescu, S; Poultsides, GABackground: The objective of the current study was to develop a model to predict the likelihood of occult lymph node metastasis (LNM) prior to resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Methods: Patients who underwent hepatectomy for ICC between 2000 and 2017 were identified using a multi-institutional database. A novel model incorporating clinical and preoperative imaging data was developed to predict...
A Machine-Based Approach to Preoperatively Identify Patients with the Most and ...
Tsilimigras, D; Mehta, R; Moris, D; Sahara, K; Bagante, F; Paredes, A; Moro, A; Guglielmi, A; Aldrighetti, L; Weiss, M; Bauer, T; Alexandrescu, SBackground: Accurate risk stratification and patient selection is necessary to identify patients who will benefit the most from surgery or be better treated with other non-surgical treatment strategies. We sought to identify which patients in the preoperative setting would likely derive the most or least benefit from resection of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Methods: Patients who underwent curative-in...
Hepatocellular Carcinoma Tumour Burden Score to Stratify Prognosis After Resection
Tsilimigras, D; Moris, D; Hyer, J; Bagante, F; Sahara, K; Moro, A; Paredes, A; Mehta, R; Ratti, F; Pinto Marques, H; Silva, S; Soubrane, O; Lam, VBackground: Although the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system has been largely adopted in clinical practice, recent studies have emphasized the need for further refinement and subclassification of this system. Methods: Patients who underwent hepatectomy with curative intent for BCLC-0, -A or -B hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) between 2000 and 2017 were identified using a multi-institutional databa...
Utilizing Machine Learning for Pre- and Postoperative Assessment of Patients Un...
Tsilimigras, D; Mehta, R; Moris, D; Sahara, K; Bagante, F; Paredes, A; Farooq, A; Ratti, F; Pinto Marques, H; Silva, S; Soubrane, O; Lam, VBackground: There is an ongoing debate about expanding the resection criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) guidelines. We sought to determine the factors that held the most prognostic weight in the pre- and postoperative setting for each BCLC stage by applying a machine learning method. Methods: Patients who underwent resection for BCLC-0, A and B HCC betwee...
Hospital Variation in Textbook Outcomes Following Curative-Intent Resection of ...
Tsilimigras, D; Mehta, R; Merath, K; Bagante, F; Paredes, AZ; Farooq, A; Ratti, F; Pinto Marques, H; Silva, S; Soubrane, O; Lam, V; Poultsides, GBackground: Composite measures such as "Textbook Outcome" (TO) may be superior to individual quality metrics to assess surgical care and hospital performance. However, the incidence and factors associated with TO after resection of HCC remain poorly defined. Methods: Hospital variation in the rates of TO, factors associated with achieving a TO and the impact of TO on long-term survival following resection for H...
Impact of Body Mass Index on Tumor Recurrence Among Patients Undergoing Curativ...
Merath, K; Mehta, R; Hyer, JM; Bagante, F; Sahara, K; Alexandrescu, S; Pinto Marques, H; Aldrighetti, Luca; Maithel, SK; Pulitano, C; Weiss, MJBackground: The association between body mass index (BMI) and long-term outcomes of patients with ICC has not been well defined. We sought to define the presentation and oncologic outcomes of patients with ICC undergoing curative-intent resection, according to their BMI category. Methods: Patients who underwent resection of ICC were identified in a multi-institutional database. Patients were categorized as norm...
A Novel Online Prognostic Tool to Predict Long-Term Survival after Liver Resect...
Sahara, K; Tsilimigras, D; Mehta, R; Bagante, F; Guglielmi, A; Aldrighetti, L; Alexandrescu, S; Pinto Marques, H; Shen, F; Koerkamp, B; Endo, IBackground: The aim of the current study was to develop an online calculator to predict survival after liver resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) based on the "metro-ticket" paradigm. Methods: Between 1990 and 2016, patients who underwent liver resection for ICC were identified in an international multi-institutional database. The final multivariable model of survival was used to develop an onlin...
Mutations in CTC1, Encoding Conserved Telomere Maintenance Component 1, Cause C...
Anderson, B; Kasher, P; Mayer, J; Szynkiewicz, M; Jenkinson, E; Bhaskar, S; Urquhart, J; Daly, S; Dickerson, J; O'Sullivan, J; Leibundgut, E; Muter, JCoats plus is a highly pleiotropic disorder particularly affecting the eye, brain, bone and gastrointestinal tract. Here, we show that Coats plus results from mutations in CTC1, encoding conserved telomere maintenance component 1, a member of the mammalian homolog of the yeast heterotrimeric CST telomeric capping complex. Consistent with the observation of shortened telomeres in an Arabidopsis CTC1 mutant and t...
