Predictive value of C-reactive protein for postoperative liver-specific surgical site infections. Surgery 2024; 175:1337-1345. [PMID: 38413303 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2024.01.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND C-reactive protein is a useful biological tool to predict infectious complications, but its predictive value in detecting organ-specific surgical site infection after liver resection has never been studied. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of c-reactive protein and determine the cut-off values to detect postoperative liver resection-surgical site infection. METHODS A multicentric analysis of consecutive patients with liver resection between 2018 and 2021 was performed. The predictive value of postoperative day 1, postoperative day 3, and postoperative day 5 C-reactive protein levels was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Cut-off values were determined using the Youden index in a 500-fold bootstrap resampling of 500 patients treated at 3 centers, who comprised the development cohort and were tested in an external independent validation cohort of 166 patients at a fourth center. RESULTS Among the 500 patients who underwent liver resection of the development cohort, liver resection-surgical site infection occurred in 66 patients (13.2%), and the median time to diagnosis was 6.0 days (interquartile range, 4.0-9.0) days. Median C-reactive protein levels were significantly higher on postoperative day 1, postoperative day 3, and postoperative day 5 in the liver resection-surgical site infection group compared with the non-surgical site infection group (50.5 vs 34.5 ng/mL, 148.0 vs 72.5 ng/mL, and 128.4 vs 35.2 ng/mL, respectively; P < .001). Postoperative day 3 and postoperative day 5 C-reactive protein-level area under the curve values were 0.76 (95% confidence interval, 0.64-0.88, P < .001) and 0.82 (95% confidence interval, 0.72-0.92, P < .001), respectively. Postoperative day 3 and postoperative day 5 optimal cut-off values of 100 mg/L and 87.0 mg/L could be used to rule out liver resection-surgical site infection, with a negative predictive value of 87.0% (interquartile range, 70.2-93.8) and 76.0% (interquartile range, 65.0-88.0), respectively, in the validation cohort. CONCLUSION Postoperative day 3 and postoperative day 5 C-reactive protein levels may be valuable predictive tools for liver resection-surgical site infection and aid in hospital discharge decision-making in the absence of other liver-related complications.

Surgery 2024; 175:413-423. [PMID: 37981553 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2023.09.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Combined hepatocholangiocarcinoma is a rare cancer with a grim prognosis composed of both hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma morphologic patterns in the same tumor. The aim of this multicenter, international cohort study was to compare the oncologic outcomes after surgery of combined hepatocholangiocarcinoma to hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS Patients treated by surgery for combined hepatocholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma from 2000 to 2021 from multicenter international databases were analyzed retrospectively. Patients with combined hepatocholangiocarcinoma (cases) were compared with 2 control groups of hepatocellular carcinoma or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, sequentially matched using a propensity score based on 8 preoperative characteristics. Overall and disease-free survival were compared, and predictors of mortality and recurrence were analyzed with Cox regression after propensity score matching. RESULTS During the study period, 3,196 patients were included. Propensity score adjustment and 2 sequential matching processes produced a new cohort (n = 244) comprising 3 balanced groups was obtained (combined hepatocholangiocarcinoma = 56, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma = 66, and hepatocellular carcinoma = 122). Kaplan-Meier overall survival estimations at 1, 3, and 5 years were 67%, 45%, and 28% for combined hepatocholangiocarcinoma, 92%, 75%, and 55% for hepatocellular carcinoma, and 86%, 53%, and 42% for the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma group, respectively (P = .0014). Estimations of disease-free survival at 1, 3, and 5 years were 51%, 25%, and 17% for combined hepatocholangiocarcinoma, 63%, 35%, and 26% for the hepatocellular carcinoma group, and 51%, 31%, and 28% for the intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma group, respectively (P = .19). Predictors of mortality were combined hepatocholangiocarcinoma subtype, metabolic syndrome, preoperative tumor markers alpha-fetoprotein and carbohydrate antigen 19-9, and satellite nodules, and recurrence was associated with satellite nodules rather than cancer subtype. CONCLUSION Despite data limitations, overall survival among patients with combined hepatocholangiocarcinoma was worse than both groups and closer intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, whereas disease-free survival was similar among the 3 groups. Future research on immunophenotypic profiling may hold more promise than traditional nonmodifiable clinical characteristics (as found in this study) in predicting recurrence or response to salvage treatments.

Abstract
Background Small tumors in liver cirrhosis are difficult to distinguish using intraoperative ultrasonography. In addition, preoperative chemotherapy for metastatic liver cancer may diminish tumor size, thus making tumors difficult to identify intraoperatively. To address such difficulties, we devised a method to mark liver tumors preoperatively to facilitate intraoperative identification. This study aimed to investigate the safety of a preoperative liver tumor marking method. Methodology This exploratory prospective clinical trial included patients with liver tumors measuring ≤20 mm requiring resection. Preoperative marking was performed by placing a coil for embolization of blood vessels near the tumor using either the transcatheter or percutaneous approach. The tumor was identified and resected by intraoperative ultrasonography based on the marker. The study was registered in the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000028608). Results Overall, 19 patients (9 with primary liver cancer and 10 with metastatic tumors) were recruited. The transcatheter and percutaneous methods were used in 13 and 6 patients, respectively. Marking was not possible in two patients in the transcatheter group because the catheter could not be guided to the vicinity of the tumor. There were no marking-related complications. Hepatectomy was performed in all but one patient who was not fit for hepatectomy owing to the development of a metastatic liver tumor. The markers were adequately identified during hepatectomy. Additionally, there were no difficulties in the surgical procedure or postoperative complications. Conclusions Preoperative marking with embolization coils can be performed safely for intraoperative identification of liver nodules.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) continues to rise, and hepatectomy is the only cure. Perioperative outcomes following hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are better described than for ICC. The aim was to compare post-hepatectomy outcomes for ICC to CRLM and HCC. METHODS The 2014-2020 ACS NSQIP hepatectomy PUF was utilized. Patients with ICC, CRLM, and HCC were identified and others excluded. Demographic, disease, and procedural characteristics were collected. Univariable and multivariable analyses (Chi-Square for categorical variables; Kruskal-Wallis for continuous variables) were performed for mortality, serious morbidity, bile leak, post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), and 30-day readmission. RESULTS 17,789 patients underwent hepatectomy including 2377 for ICC, 10,195 for CRLM, and 5217 for HCC. Patients undergoing hepatectomy for ICC vs. HCC vs. CRLM were noted to have higher 30-day mortality (4.8% vs. 2.5% vs. 1.0%, respectively p < 0.05). ICC was associated with higher overall and serious morbidity, bile leak, severe PHLF, and readmission. Multivariable analyses confirmed higher odds ratios for mortality and morbidity (p < 0.05) in patients with ICC. CONCLUSION Hepatectomy for ICC is associated with worse short-term outcomes than for CRLM or HCC. Surgeons should be aware of these risks during surgical planning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the impact and predictors of an ideal surgical care following SLHCC resection. METHODS SLHCC patients who underwent LR in two tertiary hepatobiliary centers between 2000 and 2021 were retrieved from prospectively maintained databases. The quality of surgical care was measured by the textbook outcome (TO). Tumor burden was defined by the tumor burden score (TBS). Factors associated with TO were determined on multivariate analysis. The impact of TO on oncological outcomes was assessed using Cox regressions. RESULTS Overall, 103 SLHCC patients were included. Laparoscopic approach was considered in 65 (63.1%) patients and 79 (76.7%) patients presented with moderate TBS. TO was achieved in 54 (52.4%) patients. Laparoscopic approach was independently associated with TO (OR 2.57; 95% CI 1.03-6.64; p = 0.045). Within 19 (6-38) months of median follow up, patients who achieved TO had better OS compared to non-TO patients (1-year OS: 91.7% vs. 66.9%; 5-year OS: 83.4% vs. 37.0%, p < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis, TO was independently associated with improved OS, especially in non-cirrhotic patients (HR 0.11; 95% CI 0.02-0.52, p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS TO achievement could be a relevant surrogate marker of improved oncological care following SLHCC resection in non-cirrhotic patients.

Abstract
Background There is little evidence on the efficacy of external beam radiation (EBR) compared to liver resection (LR) for patients with solitary small (≤5 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Objective We aimed to investigate this clinical question based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Method SEER database was used to identify 416 patients with solitary small HCC who underwent LR or EBR. Survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model were performed to evaluate overall survival (OS) and identify prognostic factors for OS. Propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to adjust the baseline characteristics of the two groups. Result Before PSM, the 1- and 2-year OS rates were 92.0% and 85.2% in the LR cohort and 76.0% and 60.3% in the EBR cohort, respectively (P < 0.001). After PSM, LR (n = 62) demonstrated improved OS compared to EBR (n = 62) (1-year OS rate: 96.5% vs. 76.0%; 2-year OS rate: 89.3% vs. 60.3%, P < 0.001), despite stratification on tumor size. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that treatment type was the only factor associated with OS (hazard ratio: 5.297; 95% confidence interval: 1.952-14.371, P = 0.001). Conclusion For patients with solitary small HCC, LR may offer better survival outcomes than EBR.

Abstract
Background There is controversy regarding whether patients with single hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) should be offered radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a first-line treatment option. Thus, this study compared overall survival after surgical resection (SR) and RFA for single HCC. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used for this retrospective study. The study included 30- to 84-year-old patients diagnosed with HCC from 2000 to 2018. Selection bias was reduced via propensity score matching (PSM). The study compared the overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with single HCC who were treated with SR and RFA. Results Before and after PSM, the median OS and median CSS were significantly longer in the SR group than in the RFA group (p < 0.05). In the subgroup analysis, the median OS and median CSS for male and female patients with male and female patients with tumor sizes <3, 3-5, and>5 cm, age at diagnosis between 60 and 84 years, and grades I-IV tumors were longer than in the SR group than in the RFA group (p < 0.05). Similar results were reported for patients who received chemotherapy (p < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that compared with RFA, SR was an independent favorable factor for OS and CSS (p < 0.05) before and after PSM. Conclusion Patients with SR who had a single HCC showed higher OS and CSS compared with patients who received RFA. Hence, SR should be used as a first-line treatment in cases of single HCC.

Pre- and postoperative C-reactive protein as a risk factor of organ/space surgical site infection after hepatectomy. LANGENBECK'S ARCHIVES OF SURGERY 2023; 408:13. [PMID: 36622470 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-023-02760-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Organ/space surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common complications of liver resection, with significant impact on morbidity and mortality, so patients at high risk should be identified early. This study aimed to determine whether pre- and postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels could predict organ/space SSIs. METHODS The hospital records of consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy without biliary reconstruction at our institutions between 2008 and 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were compared between patients with or without organ/space SSIs. Its risk factors were also determined. RESULTS Among 443 identified patients, 55 cases (12.5%) developed organ/space SSIs; they more frequently experienced other complications and bile leakage (47.3% vs. 16.6%, p = 0.001; 40.0% vs. 8.5%, p < 0.001, respectively). Postoperative CRP elevation from postoperative day (POD) 3 to 5 was significantly more frequent in the SSI group (21.8% vs. 4.9%, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified preoperative CRP ≥ 0.2 mg/dL (odds ratio (OR), 2.01, p = 0.044], preoperative cholangitis (OR, 15.7; p = 0.020), red cell concentrate (RCC) transfusion (OR, 2.61, p = 0.018), bile leakage (OR, 9.51; p < 0.001), and CRP level elevation from POD 3 to 5 (OR, 3.81, p = 0.008) as independent risk factors for organ/space SSIs. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative CRP elevation and postoperative CRP trajectory are risk factors for organ/space SSIs after liver resection. A prolonged CRP level elevation at POD 5 indicates its occurrence. If there were no risk factors and no CRP elevation at POD 5, its presence could be excluded.

Guidelines for Perioperative Care for Liver Surgery: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society Recommendations 2022. World J Surg 2023; 47:11-34. [PMID: 36310325 PMCID: PMC9726826 DOI: 10.1007/s00268-022-06732-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 44.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has been widely applied in liver surgery since the publication of the first ERAS guidelines in 2016. The aim of the present article was to update the ERAS guidelines in liver surgery using a modified Delphi method based on a systematic review of the literature. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed using MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. A modified Delphi method including 15 international experts was used. Consensus was judged to be reached when >80% of the experts agreed on the recommended items. Recommendations were based on the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations system. RESULTS A total of 7541 manuscripts were screened, and 240 articles were finally included. Twenty-five recommendation items were elaborated. All of them obtained consensus (>80% agreement) after 3 Delphi rounds. Nine items (36%) had a high level of evidence and 16 (64%) a strong recommendation grade. Compared to the first ERAS guidelines published, 3 novel items were introduced: prehabilitation in high-risk patients, preoperative biliary drainage in cholestatic liver, and preoperative smoking and alcohol cessation at least 4 weeks before hepatectomy. CONCLUSIONS These guidelines based on the best available evidence allow standardization of the perioperative management of patients undergoing liver surgery. Specific studies on hepatectomy in cirrhotic patients following an ERAS program are still needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify and utilize gene signatures for the prognostic evaluation of postoperative patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS The gene mRNA expression profiles and corresponding clinicopathological data of postoperative patients with HCC were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Highly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in tumor tissues compared to adjacent tissues were identified, and their associations with the overall survival (OS) of HCC patients were analyzed. The strongly associated genes were used to develop a prognostic score for the survival stratification of HCC, and the underlying mechanisms were analyzed using bioinformatics. RESULTS A total of 376 DEGs were identified and four DEGs (ADH4, COL15A1, RET and KCNJ16) were independently associated with OS. A prognostic score derived from the four genes could effectively stratify HCC patients with different OS outcomes, independent of clinical parameters. Patients with high scores exhibited poorer OS than patients with low scores (HR 5.526, 95% CI: 2.451-12.461, p < .001). The four genes were involved in cancer-related biological processes and were independent of each other in bioinformatics analyses. CONCLUSION Four genes strongly associated with the prognosis of postoperative patients with HCC were identified, and the derived prognostic score was simple and valuable for overall survival prediction.

Intended preoperative trans-arterial embolization for large hepatocellular carcinoma: a retrospective cohort study. World J Surg Oncol 2022; 20:90.

Abstract
Background Generally, a large tumor size of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with poor visibility and uncertainty in the surgical field which results in increased surgical difficulty as well as unfavorable postoperative outcomes. We performed intended preoperative trans-arterial embolization (TAE) in patients with a large HCC. In this study, we investigated the oncological significance of intended preoperative TAE for a large HCC, using a comparison between patients with and without TAE, and detailed analyses for pre- and post-TAE status. Methods A total of 411 patients who underwent hepatectomy for primary HCC at the University of Yamanashi Hospital between January 2007 and December 2018 were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups: patients with larger HCCs (≥50 mm, n=51) and those with smaller HCC (<50 mm, n=360) according to the size of their HCCs. Comparison of clinicopathological features between these groups and clinical outcomes between the TAE and non-TAE groups were compared. In addition, a detailed analysis of each case in the TAE group was conducted, comparing clinicopathological factors between pre- and post-TAE status. Results The clinical unfavorable short- and long-term outcomes of patients with large HCCs (≥50 mm) were revealed compared to those with small HCCs (<50 mm). The prognostic analyses showed that a large tumor size and increased tumor markers, multiple tumor numbers, and others were adverse prognostic factors, and vascular invasions and residual tumors were included in the multivariate analysis. Further detailed analyses revealed that the average rates of change in tumor size and tumor shrinkage after TAE were − 48.6±35.6 mm and − 30.7±17.0%, respectively. Pathological high necrotic changes in the tumor, after multiple-times TAE aiming to a better effect, were related to a better prognosis in patients with large HCC. Poor prognostic factors became less common in patients who underwent intended preoperative TAE, and these patients had better prognoses. Conclusions The large tumor size of HCC is associated with unfavorable outcomes; the intended preoperative TAE for large HCC patients performed multiple times aiming to affect the tumor as much as possible might improve their prognoses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite many developments, postoperative bile leakage (POBL) remains a relatively common postoperative complication after laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and open liver resection (OLR). This study aimed to assess the incidence and clinical impact of POBL in patients undergoing LLR and OLR in a large international multicenter cohort using a propensity score-matched analysis. STUDY DESIGN Patients undergoing LLR or OLR for all indications between January 2000 and October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed using a large, international, multicenter liver database including data from 15 tertiary referral centers. Primary outcome was clinically relevant POBL (CR-POBL), defined as Grade B/C POBL. RESULTS Overall, 13,379 patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis (6,369 LLR and 7,010 OLR), with 6.0% POBL. After propensity score matching, a total of 3,563 LLR patients were matched to 3,563 OLR patients. In both groups, propensity score matching accounted for similar extent and types of resections. The incidence of CR-POBL was significantly lower in patients after LLR as compared with patients after OLR (2.6% vs 6.0%; p < 0.001). Among the subgroup of patients with CR-POBL, patients after LLR experienced less severe (non-POBL) postoperative complications (10.1% vs 20.9%; p = 0.028), a shorter hospital stay (12.5 vs 17 days; p = 0.001), and a lower 90-day/in-hospital mortality (0% vs 5.4%; p = 0.027) as compared with patients after OLR with CR-POBL. CONCLUSION Patients after LLR seem to experience a lower rate of CR-POBL as compared with the open approach. Our findings suggest that in patients after LLR, the clinical impact of CR-POBL is less than after OLR.

Abstract
Background: We assessed the relationship between preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and short- and long-term outcomes among gastric cancer patients because the clinical significance of PNI in these patients remains controversial. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 434 consecutive patients who underwent curative laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Results: Patients with postoperative complications had a significantly poorer overall survival (OS) than those without. On multivariate analyses, postoperative complications were independently associated with PNI value and operative procedure type. In the low PNI group (n = 118), those with postoperative complications experienced significantly poorer OS than those without complications. Among the low PNI group with pTNM stage I and II disease, those with postoperative complications experienced significantly worse OS than those without complications. However, among the high PNI group and patients with stage II and III disease in the low PNI group, OS was similar with respect to postoperative complications. Conclusions: The present study confirmed that long-term prognosis was unaffected by postoperative complications in well-nourished gastric cancer patients. In addition, preoperative nutritional status and postoperative complications, may be crucial in determining the prognosis of gastric cancer, especially in early-stage cancer.

Front Public Health 2022; 9:789026. [PMID: 35096742 PMCID: PMC8792840 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2021.789026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2021] [Accepted: 12/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Primary liver cancer is a common malignant tumor primarily represented by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The number of elderly patients with early HCC is increasing, and older age is related to a worse prognosis. However, an accurate predictive model for the prognosis of these patients is still lacking. Methods: Data of eligible elderly patients with early HCC in Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2010 to 2016 were downloaded. Patients from 2010 to 2015 were randomly assigned to the training cohort (n = 1093) and validation cohort (n = 461). Patients' data in 2016 (n = 431) was used for external validation. Independent prognostic factors were obtained using univariate and multivariate analyses. Based on these factors, a cancer-specific survival (CSS) nomogram was constructed. The predictive performance and clinical practicability of our nomogram were validated. According to the risk scores of our nomogram, patients were divided into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups. A survival analysis was performed using Kaplan–Meier curves and log-rank tests. Results: Age, race, T stage, histological grade, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were independent predictors for CSS and thus were included in our nomogram. In the training cohort and validation cohort, the concordance indices (C-indices) of our nomogram were 0.739 (95% CI: 0.714–0.764) and 0.756 (95% CI: 0.719–0.793), respectively. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) showed similar results. Calibration curves revealed high consistency between observations and predictions. In external validation cohort, C-index (0.802, 95%CI: 0.778–0.826) and calibration curves also revealed high consistency between observations and predictions. Compared with the TNM stage, nomogram-related decision curve analysis (DCA) curves indicated better clinical practicability. Kaplan–Meier curves revealed that CSS significantly differed among the three different risk groups. In addition, an online prediction tool for CSS was developed. Conclusions: A web-based prediction model for CSS of elderly patients with early HCC was constructed and validated, and it may be helpful for the prognostic evaluation, therapeutic strategy selection, and follow-up management of these patients.

Laparoscopic versus open liver resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: Report of an international multicenter cohort study with propensity score matching. Surgery 2021; 171:1290-1302.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. In patients where surgical resection is possible, outcome is influenced by perioperative morbidity and lymph node status. Laparoscopic liver resection is associated with improved clinical and oncological outcomes in primary and metastatic liver cancer compared with open liver resection, but evidence on intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is still insufficient. The primary aim of this study was to compare overall survival for a large series of patients treated for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by open or laparoscopic approach. Secondary objectives were to compare disease-free survival, predictors of death, and recurrence. METHODS Patients treated with laparoscopic or open liver resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma from 2000 to 2018 from 3 large international databases were analyzed retrospectively. Each patient in the laparoscopic resection group (case) was matched with 1 open resection control (1:1 ratio), through a propensity score calculated on clinically relevant preoperative covariates. Overall and disease-free survival were compared between the matched groups. Predictors of mortality and recurrence were analyzed with Cox regression, and the Textbook Outcomes were described. RESULTS During the study period, 855 patients met the inclusion criteria (open liver resection = 709, 82.9%; laparoscopic liver resection = 146, 17.1%). Two groups of 89 patients each were analyzed after propensity score matching, with no significant difference regarding pre- and postoperative variables. Overall survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was 92%, 75%, and 63% in the laparoscopic liver resection group versus 92%, 58%, and 49% in the open liver resection group (P = .0043). Adjusted Cox regression revealed severe postoperative complications (hazard ratio: 10.5, 95% confidence interval [1.01-109] P = .049) and steatosis (hazard ratio: 13.8, 95% confidence interval [1.23-154] P = .033) as predictors of death, and transfusion (hazard ratio: 19.2, 95% confidence interval [4.04-91.4] P < .001) and severe postoperative complications (hazard ratio: 4.07, 95% confidence interval [1.15-14.4] P = .030) as predictors of recurrence. CONCLUSION The survival advantage of laparoscopic liver resection over open liver resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is equivocal, given historical bias and missing data.

Three-day postoperative antibiotics reduces post-hepatectomy infection rate in hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 36:2531-2539. [PMID: 33948991 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.15528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2020] [Revised: 02/06/2021] [Accepted: 02/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The evidences for use of postoperative antibiotics (POA) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent hepatectomy are controversial. We aimed to explore the relationship between POA and hepatectomy-related infection in a hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related HCC population. METHODS We retrospectively collected 934 HCC patients who underwent hepatectomy for curative intent from three tertiary hospitals in China. The incidences of postoperative infection including surgical site infection and remote site infection were recorded and calculated. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to explore related factors of postoperative infection and POA. And the relationship between infection rates with different durations of POA was investigated. RESULTS The overall infection rate was 8.2% (77/934), including 6.5% (61/934) of surgical site infection and 2.0% (19/934) of remote site infection. Multivariable analysis revealed that the administration of POA was negatively related with the incidence of postoperative infection significantly (odds ratio = 0.50, 95% confidence interval = 0.30 to 0.83; P = 0.008). Albumin-bilirubin score, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage and extent of hepatectomy were independently related to the POA. And 3-day regimen seemed to be the shortest duration of POA to gain the lowest incidence of postoperative infection. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative antibiotic is necessary for HBV-related HCC patients to prevent postoperative infection, especially for those with higher albumin-bilirubin score, at BCLC stage B-C, or who underwent major hepatectomy. For HBV-related HCC patients, postoperative second-generation cephalosporins, or ceftriaxone for 3 days after surgery might be proper.

Abstract
Background Postoperative inflammation is associated with cancer progression in several cancers. However, the prognostic significance of postoperative fever remains unclear in gastric cancer patients. Methods We enrolled 442 patients with a histopathological diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent curative surgery. Results The mean duration of postoperative fever ≥ 37°C was 8.7 days (range: 0-186 days) and significantly longer in patients with advanced gastric cancer, venous invasion, and open or total gastrectomy vs. patients with early gastric cancer (P = 0.0072), no venous invasion (P = 0.025), laparoscopic gastrectomy (P = 0.027), and either proximal or distal partial gastrectomy (P = 0.0015). Five-year overall survival rates were 69.5% vs. 83.6% in the prolonged postoperative fever group (≥ 6 days of ≥ 37°C) vs. the nonprolonged group (< 6 days of ≥ 37°C), respectively (P = 0.0008). In patients without Clavien-Dindo classification postoperative infectious complications grade ≥ 2, 5-year overall survival was 69.7% vs. 84.0% in patients with prolonged postoperative fever vs. those without, respectively (P = 0.0067). Five-year disease-specific survival was 85.9% vs. 93.1% in patients with prolonged fever vs. those without, respectively (P = 0.041). Multivariate analysis indicated that postoperative fever was an independent prognostic indicator. Conclusion Postoperative fever ≥ 37°C duration may be useful in predicting prognosis in gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Importance Textbook outcome (TO) is a composite measure that captures the most desirable surgical outcomes as a single indicator, yet to date TO has not been defined and assessed in the field of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) and open liver resection (OLR). Objective To obtain international agreement on the definition of TO in liver surgery (TOLS) and to assess the incidence of TO in LLR and OLR in a large international multicenter database using a propensity-score matched analysis. Design, Setting, and Participants Patients undergoing LLR or OLR for all liver diseases between January 2011 and October 2019 were analyzed using a large international multicenter liver surgical database. An international survey was conducted among all members of the European-African Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (E-AHPBA) and International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA) to reach agreement on the definition of TOLS. The rate of TOLS was assessed for LLR and OLR before and after propensity-score matching. Factors associated with achieving TOLS were investigated. Main Outcomes and Measures Textbook outcome, with TOLS defined as the absence of intraoperative incidents of grade 2 or higher, postoperative bile leak grade B or C, severe postoperative complications, readmission within 30 days after discharge, in-hospital mortality, and the presence of R0 resection margin. Results A total of 8188 patients (4559 LLR; median age, 65 years [interquartile range, 55-73 years]; 2529 were male [55.8%] and 3629 OLR; median age, 64 years [interquartile range, 56-71 years]; 2204 were male [60.7%]) were included in the analysis of whom 69.1% achieved TOLS; 74.8% for LLR and 61.9% for OLR (P < .001). On multivariable analysis, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade III, previous abdominal surgery, histological diagnosis of colorectal liver metastases (odds ratio [OR], 0.656 [95% CI, 0.457-0.940]; P = .02), cholangiocarcinoma, non-CRLM, a tumor size of 30 mm or more, minor resection of posterior/superior segments (OR, 0.716 [95% CI, 0.577-0.887]; P = .002), anatomically major resection (OR, 0.579 [95% CI, 0.418-0.803]; P = .001), and nonanatomical resection (OR, 0.612 [95% CI, 0.476-0.788]; P < .001) were associated with a worse TOLS rate after LLR. For OLR, only histological diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma (OR, 0.360 [95% CI, 0.214-0.607]; P < .001) and a tumor size of 30 mm or more (30-50 mm = OR, 0.718 [95% CI, 0.565-0.911]; P = .01; 50.1-100 mm = OR, 0.729 [95% CI, 0.554-0.960]; P = .02; >10 cm = OR, 0.550 [95% CI, 0.366-0.826]; P = .004) were associated with a worse TOLS rate. Conclusions and Relevance In this multicenter study, TOLS was found to be a useful tool for assessing patient-level hospital performance and may have utility in optimizing patient outcomes after LLR and OLR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative infectious complications may be associated with a worse long-term prognosis for patients undergoing surgery for a malignant indication. The current study aimed to characterize the impact of postoperative infectious complications on long-term oncologic outcomes among patients undergoing resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Patients who underwent curative-intent resection for HCC between 2000 and 2017 were identified from an international multi-institutional database. The relationship between postoperative infectious complications, overall survival (OS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was analyzed. RESULTS Among 734 patients who underwent HCC resection, 269 (36.6%) experienced a postoperative complication (Clavien-Dindo grade 1 or 2 [n = 197, 73.2%] vs grade 3 and 4 [n = 69, 25.7%]). An infectious complication was noted in 81 patients (11.0%) and 188 patients (25.6%) had non-infectious complications. The patients with infectious complications had worse OS (median: infectious complications [46.5 months] vs no complications [106.4 months] [p < 0.001] and non-infectious complications [85.7 months] [p < 0.05]) and RFS (median: infectious complications [22.1 months] vs no complications [45.5 months] [p < 0.05] and non-infectious complications [38.3 months] [p = 0.139]) than the patients who had no complication or non-infectious complications. In the multivariable analysis, infectious complications remained an independent risk factor for OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.7; p = 0.016) and RFS (HR, 1.6; p = 0.013). Among the patients with infectious complications, patients with non-surgical-site infection (SSI) had even worse OS and RFS than patients with SSI (median OS: 19.5 vs 70.9 months [p = 0.010]; median RFS: 12.8 vs 33.9 months [p = 0.033]). CONCLUSION Infectious complications were independently associated with an increased long-term risk of tumor recurrence and death. Patients with non-SSI versus SSI had a particularly worse oncologic outcome.

Abstract
Objective
The effect of postoperative complications including red blood cell transfusion (BT) on long-term survival for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unknown. The purpose of this study was to define the relationship between postoperative complications and long-term survival in patients with HCC.
Methods
Postoperative complications of 1251 patients who underwent curative liver resection for HCC were classified, and their recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cumulative overall survival (OS) were investigated.
Results
Any complications occurred in 503 patients (40%). Five-year RFS and 5-year OS in the complication group were 21% and 56%, respectively, significantly lower than the respective values of 32% (P < 0.001) and 68% (P < 0.001) in the no-complication group (n = 748). Complications related to RFS were postoperative BT [hazard ratio (HR): 1.726, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.338–2.228, P < 0.001], pleural effusion (HR: 1.434, 95% CI: 1.200–1.713, P < 0.001) using Cox proportional-hazard model. Complications related to OS were postoperative BT (HR: 1.843, 95% CI: 1.380–2.462, P < 0.001), ascites (HR: 1.562, 95% CI: 1.066–2.290, P = 0.022), and pleural effusion (HR: 1.421, 95% CI: 1.150–1.755, P = 0.001).
Conclusions
Postoperative complications were factors associated with poor long-term survival. Postoperative BT and pleural effusion were noticeable complications that were prognostic factors for both RFS and OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Enhanced Recovery Program after surgery is a multimodal, evidence-based protocol of care developed to minimize the response to surgical stress. Data on the influence of ERP on outcomes, particularly according to the complexity of liver surgery, are lacking. METHODS A prospective multicenter cohort of patients undergoing liver surgery and exposed to Enhanced Recovery Program from 2016 to 2020 in France was analyzed. High Enhanced Recovery Program compliance was defined as more than 70% of items (15 out of 21). The outcomes were the rate of complications, length of stay, and functional recovery according to Enhanced Recovery Program compliance. RESULTS A total of 297 patients were included in the study, and they had 61.9% overall compliance (median = 13 items, interquartile range 11-15). Complications were observed in 32.2% (n = 95) of cases, and the mean length of hospital stay was 7.28 (±7.15) days overall. A longer duration of liver surgery was associated with an increase in the complication rate, while high compliance was independently associated with a reduced risk of complications in the multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION High Enhanced Recovery Program compliance was associated with a lower rate of postoperative complexity.

Ann Surg Oncol 2021; 28:8221-8233. [PMID: 34160708 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-021-10317-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 05/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy exists over the relationship between postoperative complications (POCs) and long-term survival for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of POCs on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) for HCC after liver resection. PATIENTS AND METHODS The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were used to search for eligible studies published through 18 April 2020, and studies comparing the long-term outcomes between HCC patients with and without POCs after hepatectomy were included. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analysis and meta-regression were performed to assess the potential influence of study-, patient-, and tumor-related factors on the relationship between POCs and oncologic outcomes and to adjust their effect. This study was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42019136109). RESULTS Thirty-seven studies, including 14,096 patients, were deemed eligible and included in this study. Compared with those without POCs, patients who developed POCs had a significant reduction in OS (HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.28-1.50, P < 0.001; prediction interval 1.04-1.85) and tended to have worse DFS (HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.16-1.35, P < 0.001; prediction interval 0.98-1.60). Contour-enhanced funnel plots suggested a risk of publication bias. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression showed that POCs remained a threat to OS and DFS regardless of the influence of clinicopathological factors. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that POCs had an adverse impact on OS and DFS in HCC patients after liver resection.

The effects of physical prehabilitation: Improved liver regeneration and mitochondrial function after ALPPS operation in a rodent model. JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2021; 28:692-702.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To identify the role of physical prehabilitation (PP) in liver regeneration, mitochondrial function, biogenesis, and inflammatory response was investigated after associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) in a rodent model. METHODS Male Wistar rats (n = 60) underwent ALPPS. Animals were divided (n = 30) to the physical prehabilitation group (PP) and sedentary group (S). The animals were exsanguinated before (0 hour) and 24, 48, 72, or 168 hours after the operation. Regeneration rate and proliferation index were assessed. Mitochondrial function, biogenesis, and inflammatory response were evaluated. RESULTS Regeneration rate and Ki67 index were significantly increased in the PP group compared to the S group (P < .001). Due to the changes in oxidative capacity and ATP production rate, the P/O ratio of PP group compared to the S group was significantly increased (P < .05). PP group was characterized by accelerated mitochondrial biogenesis and less intense inflammatory response compared to the S group. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of the beneficial effects of PP on liver regeneration, mitochondrial function, biogenesis, and the inflammatory response after ALPPS.

Improved management of grade B biliary leaks after complex liver resections using gadoxetic acid disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography. Surgery 2021; 170:499-506. [PMID: 33745732 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2021.02.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bile leaks occurring after complex liver resection and lasting >1 week (grade B) usually are managed by means of invasive cholangiography either endoscopic or percutaneous, with a substantial risk of procedure-related complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of gadoxetic acid disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography to detect postoperative biliary leaks and avoid invasive cholangiography in case of peripheral location of the fistula. METHODS Patients with grade B biliary leak after complex liver resection from January 2018 to March 2020 underwent magnetic resonance cholangiography to guide the management of the leak (study group). The primary endpoint was the ability of magnetic resonance cholangiography to reduce the need for invasive cholangiography with respect to similar posthepatectomy leaks collected in the previous 2 years and approached with upfront invasive cholangiography (controls). A series of in-hospital outcomes also were compared. RESULTS Out of 533 liver resections, 11 study patients versus 11 control patients with grade B leaks were compared. Magnetic resonance cholangiography achieved 100% accuracy in detection and location of the leak. Five out of 6 peripheral leaks healed without invasive cholangiography. Overall, 50% reduction in the use of invasive cholangiography was observed in the study versus control patients. Median healing time and hospital stay were 38 and 40 days in patients undergoing invasive cholangiography versus 10 and 11 days in patients treated conservatively (P = .007 and 0.012, respectively). Infection rate and other complications rate were 82% vs 20% (P = .01) and 35% vs 40% (P = .5), respectively. CONCLUSION Magnetic resonance cholangiography is a safe, precise, noninvasive tool to detect posthepatectomy bile leaks that can help clinicians in decision-making on conservative versus invasive treatment of fistulas.

Cancer Med 2020; 10:496-506. [PMID: 33280269 PMCID: PMC7877377 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.3613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2020] [Revised: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 10/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our purpose was to establish and validate a nomogram model in early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients for predicting the cancer-specific survival (CSS). METHODS We extracted eligible data of relevant patients between 2010 and 2015 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Further, we divided all patients into two groups (training and validation cohorts) at random (7:3). Nomogram was established using effective risk factors based on univariate and multivariate analysis. The effective performance of nomogram was evaluated using concordance index (C-index), calibration plots, decision curve analysis (DCA), and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). RESULTS We selected 3620 patients with early HCC including the training cohort (70%, 2536) and the validation cohort (30%, 1084). The nomogram-related C-indexes were 0.755 (95% CI: 0.739-0.771) and 0.737 (95% CI: 0.712-0.762), in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The calibration plots showed good consistency of 3-and 5-year CSS between the actual observation and the nomogram prediction. The 3-, 5-year DCA curves also indicated that the nomogram has excellent clinical utility. The 3-, 5-year area under curve (AUC) of ROC in the training cohort were 0.783, 0.779, respectively, and 0.767, 0.766 in the validation cohort, respectively. With the establishment of nomogram, a risk stratification system was also established that could divide all patients into three risk groups, and the CSS in different groups (i.e., low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk) had a good regional division. CONCLUSIONS We developed a practical nomogram in early HCC patients for predicting the CSS, and a risk stratification system follow arisen, which provided an applicable tool for clinical management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 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 HCC were examined using an international multi-institutional database. RESULTS Among 605 patients who underwent curative-intent resection of HCC, the unadjusted incidence of TO ranged from 50.9% to 77.7%. While achievement of each individual quality metric was relatively high (range, 74.5-98.0%), an overall TO was achieved among only 62.3% (n = 377) of patients. At the hospital level, TO ranged from 54.3% to 72.9%. Patients with BCLC-0 HCC (referent BCLC-B/C; OR: 4.17, 95%CI: 1.62-10.7) and ALBI grade 1 (referent ALBI grade 2/3; OR: 1.49, 95%CI: 1.06-2.11) had higher odds of achieving a TO. On multivariable analysis, TO was associated with improved overall survival (HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.42-0.85). CONCLUSION Roughly 6 in 10 patients achieved a TO following resection for HCC. When achieved, TO was associated with better long-term outcomes. TO is a simple composite measure of both short- and long-term outcomes among patients undergoing resection for HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of liver cancer has more than tripled since 1980. Hepatectomy represents the major curative treatment for liver cancer. The risk factors associated with 90-day mortality after hepatectomy are not well understood and there are currently no good prediction models for this outcome. The objectives of the current study were to identify risk factors of 90-day mortality after hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and to develop an integer-based risk score using the National Cancer Database. METHODS Hepatectomies recorded in the National Cancer Database during 2004-2012 were reviewed for 90-day mortality. Risk factors were identified by multivariate logistic regression models. An integer-based risk score was developed using the β coefficients derived from the logistic regression model and tested for discriminatory ability. According to the total risk score, patients were grouped into 4 risk groups. RESULTS The overall 90-day mortality was 10.2%. Ten risk factors were identified, which included sex, age, race/ethnicity, insurance status, education, annual hospital volume, stage, tumor grade, Charlson-Deyo Score, and surgical procedure. The risk of 90-day mortality was stratified into 4 groups. The calculated 90-day mortality rates were 2.47%, 5.88%, 12.58%, and 24.67% for low-risk, medium-risk, high-risk, and excessive-risk groups, respectively. An area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.69 was obtained for model discrimination. CONCLUSIONS The integer-based risk score we developed could easily quantify each patient's risk level and predict 90-day mortality after hepatectomy. The stratified risk score could be a useful addition to perioperative risk management and a tool to improve 90-day mortality after hepatectomy.

Abstract
Background The influence of perioperative blood transfusion (PBT) on postsurgical survival of patients with different stage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not well clarified. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of PBT on survival outcomes of different stage of HCC patients. Methods Consecutive patients who underwent liver resection for HCC between January 2009 and November 2015 were identified from an HCC prospective database in authors’ center. The survival outcomes were compared between patients receiving PBT and those without PBT before and after propensity score matching (PSM) in different stage subsets. Cox regression analysis was performed to verify the impact of PBT on outcomes of HCC. Results Among 1255 patients included, 804 (64.1%) were Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage 0-A, and 347 (27.6%) received PBT. Before PSM, patients with PBT had worse disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with those without PBT in both BCLC 0-A subset and BCLC B-C subset (all P < 0.05). After PSM, 288 pairs of patients (with and without PBT) were created. In the subset of BCLC 0-A, the median DFS of patients with PBT was shorter than those without PBT (12.0 months vs. 36.0 months, P = 0.001) Similar result was observed for OS (36.0 months vs. 96.0 months, P = 0.001). In the subset of BCLC B-C, both DFS and OS were comparable between patients with PBT and those without PBT. Cox regression analysis showed that PBT involved an increasing risk of DFS (HR = 1.607; P < 0.001) and OS (HR = 1.756; P < 0.001) for this subset. However, PBT had no impact on DFS (P = 0.126) or OS (P = 0.139) for those with stage B-C HCC. Conclusions PBT negatively influenced oncologic outcomes of patient with BCLC stage 0-A HCC, but not those with stage B-C after curative resection.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumours, metastasis and recurrence remain the primary reasons for poor prognosis. Ubiquitination serves as a degradation mechanism of proteins, but it is involved in additional cellular processes including metastasis. Here, by using label-free quantification, double-glycine (di-Gly) antibody affinity purification and high-resolution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), we investigated quantitative proteome, ubiquitylome, and the crosstalk between the two datasets in HCC cell lines with different metastasis potential to identify biomarkers associated with HCC metastasis. In total, 83 ubiquitinated proteins significantly and steadily changed their abundance according to their metastatic potential, and the participated biological processes of these ubiquitinated proteins were tightly associated with tumour metastasis. Further signaling pathway analysis revealed that the ribosome and proteasome were significantly over-activated in the highly metastatic cells. Furthermore, we analyzed the crosstalk between the whole proteome and the ubiquitylome, and further discussed the mechanism that how ubiquitination events affect HCC metastasis. Eventually, the ubiquitination of Ku80 was validated to be significantly down-regulated in the high-metastatic cells comparing with the low-metastatic cells. We believe that these findings will help us better understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of the metastasis of HCC. SIGNIFICANCE: In this manuscript, we used label free based proteomics combined with diglycine antibody (di-Gly) affinity purification approach to identify biomarkers associated with HCC recurrence/metastasis in in a serial HCC cell lines with increasing invasion and metastasis potential. And then, we analyzed the crosstalk between the whole proteome and the ubiquitylome. Eventually, the ubiquitination of Ku80 was confirm to be closely associated with invasion and migration of HCC cells. As far as we know, this is the first time to use quantitative proteomic approach to study the ubiquitylomics in HCC cell lines with increasing metastasis ability.

Predictors of post-operative complications after surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma and their prognostic effects on outcome and survival: A propensity-score matched and structural equation modelling study. Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 46:1756-1765.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although hepatectomy is the mainstay of curative therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), post-operative complications remain high. Presently there is conflicting data on the impact of morbidity on oncologic outcomes. We sought to identify predictors for the occurrence of post-hepatectomy complications, as well as to analyse the impact on overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective review of 888 patients who underwent resection for HCC from 2001 to 2016 in our institution. RESULTS A total of 237 patients (26.7%) developed 254 complications of Clavien-Dindo Grade ≥2. Hepatitis B (p = 0.0397), elevated ASA score (p = 0.0002), higher platelet counts (p = 0.0277), raised pre-operative APRI scores (p = 0.0105) and bloodloss (p < 0.0001) were independently associated with the development of complications. After propensity-score matching, 458 patients were compared in a 1:1 ratio (229 with complications versus 229 without). Patients with complications had significantly longer median length of stay (9 days [IQR 7-15] versus 6 days [IQR 5-8], p < 0.0001), higher 90-day mortality rates as well as inferior OS (p = 0.0139), but there was no difference in RFS (p = 0.4577). Age (p = 0.0006), elevated Child Pugh points (p < 0.0001), microvascular invasion (p = 0.0002), multifocal tumours (p = 0.0002), R1 resection (p = 0.0443) and development of complications (p = 0.0091) were independent predictors of inferior OS. CONCLUSION Post-operative morbidity affected both short-term and OS outcomes after hepatectomy for HCC. Hepatitis B, higher ASA scores, elevated preoperative APRI and increased blood loss were found to predict a higher likelihood of developing complications. This may potentially be mitigated by careful patient selection and adopting strict measures to minimise intraoperative bleeding.

Minimally Invasive Liver Resection for Early-Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Inconsistent Outcomes from Matched or Weighted Cohorts. J Gastrointest Surg 2020; 24:560-568. [PMID: 31012046 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-019-04221-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2019] [Accepted: 03/28/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the current study was to re-evaluate the role of minimally invasive liver resection (MILR) among patients with early-stage (stage I or II) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing partial hepatectomy. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the National Cancer Database (NCDB) was conducted to identify patients with early-stage HCC who underwent partial hepatectomy in the USA from 2010 to 2013. Overall survival (OS) was compared in three cohorts: crude; stabilized inverse probability of treatment propensity score weighting (IPTW); and propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS Among 4027 patients included in the study, only 11.7%, (n = 473) underwent MILR. In the stabilized IPTW cohort, patients who underwent MILR versus open resection were more likely to have tumors greater than 3 cm (63.9%, n = 285 vs. 51.4%, n = 228, p < 0.001) and poorly/undifferentiated tumors (21.5%, n = 96 vs. 12.9%, n = 57, p < 0.001). Within the crude cohort, a 5-year OS was superior among patients in the open surgical group (67.8%) compared with patients who underwent MILR (56.6%) (p < 0.001). After classic PSM analysis, the 5-year OS of patients undergoing MILR and open surgery were noted to be comparable (57.3% vs 63.8%, p = 0.17; HR 1.16, 95% CI 0.92-1.45). In contrast, after applying IPTW, the 5-year OS of patients who underwent MILR (55.5%) was worse compared with patients who had an open resection (67.5%) (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.15-1.84; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Long-term outcomes of patients undergoing MILR were comparable with patients who had open surgery when assessed by standard PSM. The use of IPTW resulted in more unbalanced groups leading to residual confounding and bias.

The impact of bile leakage on long-term prognosis in primary liver cancers after hepatectomy: A propensity-score-matched study. Asian J Surg 2019; 43:603-612. [PMID: 31611103 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2019.08.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2019] [Revised: 07/16/2019] [Accepted: 08/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of bile leakage (BL) on the long-term prognosis in patients with primary liver cancers after hepatectomy remains unclear. METHODS One thousand nine hundred and seventy-one consecutive patients with primary liver cancers who underwent curative hepatectomy were enrolled. 75 patients encountered BL, including 34 long-time BL (LTBL) and 41 short-time BL (STBL) according to 4-weeks demarcation. Variables associated with BL were identified using multiple logistic regression analysis. 75 patients without BL were enrolled into the Non-BL group using a one-to-one propensity score matched analysis before assessing the impact of BL on the long-term prognosis. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the serum and drain fluid were detected and compared. RESULTS The tumor size, type of liver cancer, operation time, blood loss and blood transfusion were independent risk factors for BL. The long-term survival showed no difference between the patients with and without BL (p > 0.05), while the LTBL was a significant predictor of poor long-term prognosis (p < 0.001). Compared with the patients without BL, the patients with BL had a higher level of IL-6 from postoperative day (POD) 1 to POD 60, and a higher level of CRP from POD 7 to POD 60. By POD 60, the levels of IL-6 and CRP hadn't restored to the normal level in the LTBL group. CONCLUSIONS The LTBL has a negative impact on the long-term prognosis of patients with primary liver cancers after hepatectomy, in which the inflammatory responses may play a pivotal role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the clinical relevance of hepatectomy for Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stages B and C advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS A total of 314 patients (149 and 165 BCLC stages B and C, respectively) who underwent hepatectomy were included. Complete hepatectomy (without residual tumors after hepatectomy) and reductive hepatectomy (apparent residual tumors after hepatectomy) were performed for 212 and 102 patients, respectively. Short-term operative and postoperative outcomes, as well as long-term outcomes, were evaluated. RESULTS The median survival times of patients with stage B disease undergoing complete hepatectomy and reductive hepatectomy were 48.9 and 20.1 months, respectively (p = 0.0075), whereas those of patients with stage C disease were 19.5 and 17.6 months, respectively (p = 0.0140). The 3-year overall survival rates of patients with stage B disease undergoing reductive hepatectomy with and without subsequent local treatments after surgery were 47.5% and 0%, respectively, whereas those of patients with stage C diseases were 18.6% and 0%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Survival benefits are obvious for both BCLC stages B and C HCC when complete hepatectomy can be performed safely. Reductive hepatectomy is also acceptable for BCLC stages B and C when subsequent local treatment for remnant liver tumors can be performed safely after reductive hepatectomy. Without subsequent local treatment, reductive hepatectomy has little clinical relevance. Thus, a cautious approach to patient selection is required for this aggressive strategy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative collection (PC) can occur after liver surgery, but little is known on their impact on short and long-term outcomes. The aim of this study was to analyse factors predicting the occurrence of PC, the need of drainage and their impact on oncologic outcomes. METHODS This single-center, cohort-study included adult patients undergoing liver surgery between 2008 and 2017. The primary objective was to determine variables associated with PC occurrence defined by fluid collection on postoperative day-7 CT scan. Secondary objectives were factors predicting drainage requirement, and predictors of overall survival. RESULTS During the study period 395 patients were included: 53.6% of them (n=210) developed a PC with 12% (n=49) requiring drainage. Variables associated to the occurrence of PC were body mass index>35kg/m2 (OR 8.09, 95%CI (1.50,43.60) P=0.015) and extension of liver surgery (major vs. minor, OR 1.96, 95% CI (1.05,3.64) P<0.034) while laparoscopic approach was associated to a protective role (OR 0.35, 95%CI (0.18,0.67) P=0.001) in the multivariate analysis. The presence of a PC requiring treatment was associated to long-term mortality (OR:1.85, 95% CI (1.15, 2.97) P<0.01) in patients with malignant disease. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing to major open liver surgery with BMI>35kg/m2 have an increased risk to develop a PC: this target population need a systematic imaging in the postoperative period, even if the indication for drainage should be guided by clinical symptoms. Last, the presence of PC requiring treatment has a negative impact on overall survival among patients treated for malignant disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Postoperative complications have a great impact on the postoperative course and oncological outcomes following major cancer surgery. Among them, infective complications play an important role. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether postoperative infective complications influence long-term survival after liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods
Patients who underwent resection with curative intent for HCC between July 2003 and June 2016 were identified from a multicentre database (8 institutions) and analysed retrospectively. Independent risk factors for postoperative infective complications were identified. After excluding patients who died 90 days or less after surgery, overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared between patients with and without postoperative infective complications within 30 days after resection.
Results
Among 2442 patients identified, 332 (13·6 per cent) had postoperative infective complications. Age over 60 years, diabetes mellitus, obesity, cirrhosis, intraoperative blood transfusion, duration of surgery exceeding 180 min and major hepatectomy were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative infective complications. Univariable analysis revealed that median OS and RFS were poorer among patients with postoperative infective complications than among patients without (54·3 versus 86·8 months, and 22·6 versus 43·2 months, respectively; both P < 0·001). After adjustment for other prognostic factors, multivariable Cox regression analyses identified postoperative infective complications as independently associated with decreased OS (hazard ratio (HR) 1·20, 95 per cent c.i. 1·02 to 1·41; P = 0·027) and RFS (HR 1·19, 1·03 to 1·37; P = 0·021).
Conclusion
Postoperative infective complications decreased long-term OS and RFS in patients treated with liver resection for HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programmes after surgery are effective in reducing length of stay, functional recovery and complication rates in liver surgery (LS) with the indirect advantage of reducing hospitalisation costs. Preoperative comorbidities, challenging surgical procedures and complex post-operative management are the points that liver transplantation (LT) shares with LS. Nevertheless, there is little evidence regarding the feasibility and safety of ERAS programmes in LT. METHODS We designed a pilot, small-scale, feasibility study to assess the impact on hospital stay, protocol compliance and safety of an ERAS programme tailored for LT. The ERAS arm was compared with a 1:2 match paired control arm with similar characteristics. All patients with MELD <25 were included. A dedicated LT-tailored protocol was derived from publications on ERAS liver surgery. RESULTS Ten patients were included in the Fast-Trans arm. It was observed a 47% reduction of the total LOS, as compared to the control arm: 9.5 (9.0-10.5) days versus 18.0 (14.3-24.3) days, respectively, p <0.001. The protocol achieved 72.9% compliance. No differences were observed in terms of post-operative complications or readmission rates after discharge between the two arms. Overall, it was observed a reduction of length of stay in ICU and surgical ward in the Fast-Trans arm compared with the control arm. CONCLUSION Considered the main points in common between LS and LT, this small-scale study suggests that the application of an ERAS programme tailored to the LT setting is feasible. Further testing will be appropriate to generalise these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence and characteristics of actual 5-year survivors after surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) have not been described previously. METHODS Patients who underwent resection for HC from 2000 to 2015 were analyzed through a multi-institutional registry from 10 U.S. academic medical centers. The clinicopathologic characteristics and both the perioperative and long-term outcomes for actual 5-year survivors were compared with those for non-survivors (patients who died within 5 years after surgery). Patients alive at last encounter who had a follow-up period shorter than 5 years were excluded from the study. RESULTS The study identified 257 patients with HC who underwent curative-intent resection with an actuarial 5-year survival of 19%. Of 194 patients with a follow-up period longer than 5 years, 23 (12%) were 5-year survivors. Compared with non-survivors, the 5-year survivors had a lower median pretreatment CA 19-9 level (116 vs. 34 U/L; P = 0.008) and a lower rate of lymph node involvement (42% vs. 15%; P = 0.027) and R1 margins (39% vs. 17%; P = 0.042). However, the sole presence of these factors did not preclude a 5-year survival after surgery. The frequencies of bile duct resection alone, major hepatectomy, caudate lobe resection, portal vein or hepatic artery resection, preoperative biliary sepsis, intraoperative blood transfusion, serious postoperative complications, and receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS One in eight patients with HC reaches the 5-year survival milestone after resection. A 5-year survival can be achieved even in the presence of traditionally unfavorable clinicopathologic factors (elevated CA 19-9, nodal metastasis, and R1 margins).

Oguro S, Yoshimoto J, Imamura H, Ishizaki Y, Kawasaki S. Clinical significance of macroscopic no-margin hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. HPB (Oxford) 2018; 20:872-880. [PMID: 29699859 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2018.03.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2017] [Revised: 02/18/2018] [Accepted: 03/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatectomy with a sufficient margin is often impossible for hepatocellular carcinomas that are close to the large intrahepatic vascular structures, and macroscopically complete resection along the tumor capsule is the only choice. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical significance of macroscopic no-margin hepatectomy (MNMH). METHODS Among patients undergoing macroscopically curative resection for untreated hepatocellular carcinoma, outcomes were compared between patients undergoing MNMH (n = 87) and those undergoing hepatectomy with a macroscopic margin (n = 192). RESULTS MNMH was significantly associated with a longer operation time (P < 0.001), greater intraoperative blood loss (P < 0.001), a greater need for blood transfusion (P = 0.018), a higher incidence of major postoperative complications (P = 0.031), multiple tumors (P = 0.015), tumor capsule formation (P = 0.030), and a microscopically positive surgical margin (P = 0.021). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of recurrence-free survival (P = 0.946) and overall survival (P = 0.259). DISCUSSION MNMH is technically demanding and results more frequently in a microscopically positive surgical margin, however, it can yield a long-term outcome comparable to hepatectomy with a macroscopic margin even in patients with otherwise unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Preoperative Therapy for Gastric Adenocarcinoma is Protective for Poor Oncologic Outcomes in Patients with Complications After Gastrectomy. Ann Surg Oncol 2018; 25:2720-2730. [PMID: 29987602 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-018-6638-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative complications (POC) are associated with poor oncologic outcomes in gastric cancer. We sought to evaluate the impact of POC on survival in patients with gastric cancer treated with upfront surgery (UpSurg) versus those treated with preoperative therapy (PreT). METHODS We analyzed data from a prospectively maintained database of patients who had undergone resection of their gastric cancer at our institution. Patients with T1N0 or M1 lesions, recurrent disease, and mortality within 90 days were excluded. Survival was compared between patients with and without POC in the UpSurg and PreT groups. Cox regression analyses were used to examine factors associated with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS A total of 421 patients underwent resection of gastric cancer: 30% underwent upfront surgery, and 51% had a POC. Among patients who had POCs, 71% were infectious and 53% were Clavien-Dindo grade III or IV. UpSurg patients with a POC had shorter OS (5-year, 47 vs. 85%; p < 0.001) and DFS (5-year, 46 vs. 76%; p < 0.001) than those without a POC. In contrast, there was no difference in OS (5-year, 57 vs. 63%; p = 0.77) and DFS (5-year, 52 vs. 52%; p = 0.52) between PreT patients with and without POC. Multivariable Cox regression model demonstrated that a POC in UpSurg patients had significant impact on DFS (2.6 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.48-4.74]), whereas it did not in PreT patients (0.9 [95% CI 0.70-1.33]). CONCLUSIONS The use of preoperative therapy negated the impact of POCs on OS and DFS in patients undergoing resection for gastric cancer.

Identification of patients at high risk for post-discharge venous thromboembolism after hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery: which patients benefit from extended thromboprophylaxis? HPB (Oxford) 2018; 20:621-630. [PMID: 29472105 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2018.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2017] [Revised: 11/08/2017] [Accepted: 01/03/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of the current study was to define risk factors associated with the 30-day post-operative risk of VTE after HPB surgery and create a model to identify patients at highest risk of post-discharge VTE. METHODS Patients who underwent hepatectomy or pancreatectomy in the ACS-NSQIP Participant Use Files 2011-2015 were identified. Logistic regression modeling was used; a model to predict post-discharge VTE was developed. Model discrimination was tested using area under the curve (AUC). RESULTS Among 48,860 patients, the overall 30-day incidence of VTE after hepatectomy and pancreatectomy was 3.2% (n = 1580) with 1.1% (n = 543) of VTE events occurring after discharge. Patients who developed post-discharge VTE were more likely to be white, had a higher median BMI, have undergone pancreatic surgery, had longer median operative times, and to have had a transfusion. A weighted prediction model demonstrated good calibration and fair discrimination (AUC = 0.63). A score of ≥-4.50 had maximum sensitivity and specificity, resulting in 44% of patients being treating with prophylaxis for an overall VTE risk of 1.1%. CONCLUSIONS Utilizing independent factors associated with post-discharge VTE, a prediction model was able to stratify patients according to risk of VTE and may help identify patients who are most likely to benefit from pharmacoprophylaxis.

Abstract
Metastasis and recurrence following surgery are major reasons for the high mortality rate and poor prognosis associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are thought to be able to cause cancer, and to be the primary cause of tumor recurrence and metastasis. The underlying mechanisms of the metastatic potential of CSCs is poorly understood. In the present study, side population (SP) cells were isolated from 4 HCC cell lines, and their self-renewal and migratory abilities were compared. The results demonstrate that SP cells from different cell lines exhibited similar self-renewal abilities but different metastatic potentials. Furthermore, the overall proteomes of the SP cells were systematically quantified. This revealed 11 and 19 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs), upregulated and downregulated, respectively, associated with increased metastatic potential. These proteins were involved in the ‘regulation of mRNA processing’ and ‘cytoskeleton organization’ biological processes. The majority of the proteins were involved in ‘cell proliferation’, ‘migration’ and ‘invasion of cancer’, and may promote HCC metastasis in a synergistic manner. The AKT and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways may contribute to the regulation of HCC metastasis through regulating the DEPs in SP cells. To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to demonstrate the overall proteome difference among SP cells from the different HCC cell lines with different metastatic potentials. The present study provides novel information regarding the metastatic potential of CSCs, which will facilitate further investigation of the topic.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been wildly verified to modulate multiple tumorigenesis, especially hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In present study, our team aims to investigate the role of lncRNA DLX6-AS1 in the HCC carcinogenesis. Results of early-stage experiments found that DLX6-AS1 expression level was up-regulated in 60 cases of HCC tissue samples compared with adjacent normal tissue. Moreover, the aberrant overexpression of DLX6-AS1 indicated the poor prognosis of HCC patients. Loss-of-function experiments revealed that DLX6-AS1 knockdown inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells in vitro, and decreased the tumor growth in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that miR-203a potentially targeted DLX6-AS1 3'-UTR, suggesting the interaction between miR-203a and DLX6-AS1. Furthermore, miR-203a also targeted MMP-2 mRNA 3'-UTR, which was validated by luciferase reporter assay. Taken together, our study discovered the oncogenic role of DLX6-AS1 in clinical specimens and cellular experiments, showing the potential DLX6-AS1/miR-203a/MMP-2 pathway. This results and findings provide a novel insight for HCC tumorigenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections (SSI) are one of the most common complications after hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery. Infectious complications may lead to an associated immune-modulatory effect that inhibits the body's response to cancer surveillance. We sought to define the impact of SSI on long-term prognosis of patients undergoing surgical resection of extrahepatic biliary malignancies (EHBM). METHODS Patients undergoing surgery for EHBM between 2000 and 2014 were identified using a large, multi-center, national cohort dataset. Recurrence free survival (RFS) was calculated and a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was utilized to identify potential risk factors for RFS including SSI. RESULTS Seven hundred twenty-eight patients included in the analytic cohort; 236 (32.4%) patients had perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, 241 (33.1%) gallbladder cancer, and 251 (34.5%) distal cholangiocarcinoma. A major resection, liver resection, was performed in 205 (28.3%) patients, while 110 (15.2%) patients had a pancreaticoduodenectomy. The overall incidence of morbidity was 55.8%; among the 397 patients who experienced a complication, 161 patients specifically had an SSI. The SSI occurred as an infection of the surgical site (n = 70, 9.6%) or formation of an abscess in the operative bed (n = 91, 12.5%). SSI was associated with long-term survival as patients who experienced an SSI had a median RFS of 19.5 months compared with 30.5 months for those patients who did not have an SSI (HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.08-1.80; p = 0.01). Among 279 patients who had EHBM that had no associated lymph node metastases, well-to-moderate tumor differentiation, as well as an R0 resection margin, SSI remained associated with worse RFS (HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.03-3.29; p = 0.038), as well as overall survival (HR 1.87, 95% CI 1.18-2.97; p = 0.008). CONCLUSION SSI was a relatively common occurrence following surgery for EHBM as 1 in 10 patients experienced an SSI. In addition to standard tumor-specific factors, the occurrence of postoperative SSI was adversely associated with long-term survival.
