Classification of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma into Perihilar Versus Periphe...
Wei, T; Lu, J; Xiao, XL; Weiss, M; Popescu, I; Pinto Marques, H; Aldrighetti, L; Maithel, SK; Pulitano, C; Bauer, TW; Shen, F; Poultsides, GABackground: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) constitutes a group of heterogeneous malignancies within the liver. We sought to subtype ICC based on anatomical origin of tumors, as well as propose modifications of the current classification system. Methods: Patients undergoing curative-intent resection for ICC, hilar cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were identified from three inter...
An Attempt to Establish and Apply Global Benchmarks for Liver Resection of Mali...
Alaimo, L; Moazzam, Z; Lima, H; Endo, Y; Ruzzenente, A; Guglielmi, A; Ratti, F; Aldrighetti, L; Weiss, M; Bauer, T; Alexandrescu, S; Popescu, IBackground: Benchmarking is a process of continuous self-evaluation and comparison with best-in-class hospitals to guide quality improvement initiatives. We sought to define global benchmarks relative to liver resection for malignancy and to assess their achievement in hospitals in the United States. Methods: Patients who underwent curative-intent liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic chola...
Long-Term Recurrence-Free and Overall Survival Differ Based on Common, Prolifer...
Alaimo, L; Moazzam, Z; Endo, Y; Lima, H; Ruzzenente, A; Guglielmi, A; Aldrighetti, L; Weiss, M; Bauer, T; Alexandrescu, S; Poultsides, G; Maithel, SIntroduction: While generally associated with poor prognosis, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) can have a heterogeneous presentation and natural history. We sought to identify specific ICC subtypes that may be associated with varied long-term outcomes and patterns of recurrence after liver resection. Methods: Patients who underwent curative-intent resection for ICC from 2000 to 2020 were identified from a ...
Higher Tumor Burden Status Dictates the Impact of Surgical Margin Status on Ove...
Endo, Y; Sasaki, K; Moazzam, Z; Lima, H; Alaimo, L; Guglielmi, A; Aldrighetti, L; Weiss, M; Bauer, T; Alexandrescu, S; Poultsides, G; Kitago, MBackground: The present study aimed to examine the prognostic significance of margin status following hepatectomy of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) relative to overall tumor burden and nodal status. Method: Patients who underwent curative-intent surgery for ICC between 1990 and 2017 were included from a multi-institutional database. The impact of margin status and width on overall survival (OS) was exami...
Tumor Necrosis Impacts Prognosis of Patients Undergoing Resection for T1 Intrah...
Tsilimigras, DI; Ejaz, A; Cloyd, J; Guglielmi, A; Aldrighetti, L; Weiss, M; Bauer, TW; Alexandrescu, S; Poultsides, GA; Maithel, SK; Pinto Marques, HBackground: The prognostic impact of tumor necrosis among patients undergoing resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains ill-defined. Methods: Patients who underwent curative-intent resection for ICC between 2000 and 2017 were identified using a multi-institutional database. The association of pathologic tumor necrosis with overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was examined. ...
Lymph Node Examination and Patterns of Nodal Metastasis Among Patients with Lef...
Zhang, XF; Xue, F; Weiss, M; Popescu, Irinel; Pinto Marques, H; Aldrighetti, L; Maithel, S; Pulitano, C; Bauer, T; Shen, F; Poultsides, G; Cauchy, FBackground: We sought to investigate whether the unique lateral patterns of lymphatic drainage impacted lymphadenectomy (LND), lymph node metastasis (LNM), and long-term survival of patients after curative hemi-hepatectomy for left- versus right-sided intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Methods: Data on patients who underwent curative hemi-hepatectomy for left- or right-sided ICC were collected from 15 high-...
Tumor Burden Dictates Prognosis Among Patients Undergoing Resection of Intrahep...
Tsilimigras, DI; Hyer, JM; Paredes, AZ; Moris, D; Sahara, K; Guglielmi, A; Aldrighetti, L; Weiss, M; Bauer, TW; Alexandrescu, S; Poultsides, GAIntroduction: While tumor burden (TB) has been associated with outcomes among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, the role of overall TB in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) remains poorly defined. Methods: Patients undergoing curative-intent resection of ICC between 2000 and 2017 were identified from a multi-institutional database. The impact of TB on overall (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was ev...
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...
Antibodies Towards High-Density Lipoprotein Components in Patients with Psoriasis
Hu, LS; Zhang, XF; Weiss, M; Popescu, I; Pinto Marques, H; Delgado Alves, L; Maithel, S; Pulitano, C; Bauer, T; Shen, F; Poultsides, G; Soubrane, OObjectives: To assess conditional survival (CS) according to recurrence status, as well as conditional disease-free survival (cDFS) among patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Methods: CS and cDFS were evaluated among ICC patients who underwent curative-intent resection for ICC by using a multi-institutional database. Five-year CS (CS5) at "x" years was calculated separately for patients who did ...
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...
