Abstract
PURPOSE Although recurrence after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is common, the optimal treatment strategy remains unclear. The aims of this study were to clarify the impact of repeat surgery and identify the predictive factors for repeat surgery. METHODS Among the 170 patients who underwent potentially curative surgery for CRLM, 113 developed recurrence. The predictive factors for the performance of repeat surgery were identified and a predictive model was constructed. RESULTS The patterns of recurrence were as follows; single site [n = 100 (liver, n = 61; lung, n = 22; other, n = 17)], multiple site (n = 13). Repeat surgery was performed in 54 patients (47.8%) including re-hepatectomy (n = 25), radiofrequency ablation (n = 12), and resection of the extrahepatic recurrent disease (n = 17), and their overall survival (OS) was significantly better than that of those who could not (5-year OS 60.7 vs 19.5%, P < 0.0001). A multivariate analysis revealed that a primary N-negative status [relative risk (RR) 2.93, P = 0.017], indocyanine retention rate at 15 min ≤ 10% before hepatectomy (RR 2.49, P = 0.04), and carcinoembryonic antigen ≤ 5 ng/mL before hepatectomy (RR 2.96, P = 0.017) independently predicted the performance of repeat surgery. For patients who did not present any factors, the probability of repeat surgery was 19.6%. The addition of each subsequent factor increased the probability to 41.9, 67.8, and 84.0% (for 1, 2, and 3 factors, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Repeat surgery for not only intrahepatic but also extrahepatic recurrence is crucial for prolonging the survival of CRLM patients. The proposed model may help to predict the possibility of repeat surgery and provide optimal individualized treatment.

Actual 10-year survival after hepatic resection of colorectal liver metastases: what factors preclude cure? Surgery 2018; 163:1238-1244. [PMID: 29455841 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2018.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 135] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2017] [Revised: 12/07/2017] [Accepted: 01/02/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic resection of colorectal liver metastases is associated with long-term survival. This study analyzes actual 10-year survivors after resection of colorectal liver metastases, reports the observed rate of cure, and identifies factors that preclude cure. METHODS A single-institution, prospectively maintained database was queried for all initial resections for colorectal liver metastases for the years 1992-2004. Observed cure was defined as actual 10-year survival with either no recurrence or resected recurrence with at least 3 years of disease-free follow-up. Clinical risk score was dichotomized into low (0-2) and high (3-5). Semiparametric proportional hazards mixture cure model was utilized to estimate probability of cure. RESULTS We included 1,211 patients with a median follow-up for survivors of 11 years. Median disease-specific survival was 4.9 years (95% CI: 4.4-5.3). 295 patients (24.4%) were actual 10-year survivors. The observed cure rate was 20.6% (n = 250). Among 250 cured patients, 192 (76.8%) had no recurrence and 58 (23.2%) had a resected recurrence with at least 3 years of disease-free follow-up. Extrahepatic disease (n = 88), carcinoembryonic antigen >200 ng/mL (n = 119), positive margin (n = 109), and >10 tumors (n = 31) had observed cure rates less than 10%. In cure model analysis, patients with both extrahepatic disease and high clinical risk score (n = 31) had an estimated probability of cure of 3.5%. CONCLUSION Actual 10-year survival after resection of colorectal liver metastases is 24% with an observed 20% cure rate. Patients with both high clinical risk score and extrahepatic disease have an estimated probability of cure less than 5%. When such factors are identified, strong consideration may be given to preoperative strategies, such as neoadjuvant chemotherapy, to help select patients for surgical therapy.

Abstract
Surgical treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer offers a chance for cure or prolonged survival, particularly for those with more favorable prognostic factors and limited tumor burden. The treatment plan requires multidisciplinary evaluation because multiple therapy options exist. Advanced surgical techniques, adjuncts to resection, and modern chemotherapy all contribute to best outcomes for patients with hepatic metastases. Although cure is less common for patients with metastasis to lung or peritoneum, surgical resection for the former and cytoreduction and intraperitoneal chemotherapy for the latter may help to achieve cancer control in selected patients.

Abstract
Purpose Despite advances in endocrine therapy (ET), metastatic estrogen receptor positive breast cancer (BrCA) remains incurable. Though the mechanisms of resistance to ET have been studied extensively, the anatomic pattern of disease progression remains poorly characterized. The purpose of this study was to characterize the pattern of progression for patients receiving ET for metastatic BrCA. Methods The records of 108 patients with metastatic BrCA who progressed on ET were reviewed. Progression was characterized as follows: diffuse progression, progression in greater than 3 sites; oligoprogression, progression in fewer than 3 sites with prior diffuse metastases; and oligometastatic disease with progression, progression in 3 or fewer sites with prior limited metastases. Results Seventy-four patients (69%) displayed only diffuse disease progression. Conversely, 23 patients (21%) displayed oligoprogression and 11 patients (10%) displayed oligometastases with progression at least once in their disease course. Further analysis of the patients with oligoprogression suggested that in 14 patients the sites of progression would have been amenable to local therapy. Conclusion Oligoprogressive disease occurs in a significant subset of patients with metastatic BrCA treated with ET. These patients with oligoprogressive disease may be eligible for local therapy, potentially obviating the need to change of systemic therapy.

Eur J Surg Oncol 2017; 43:1901-1907.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver-limited recurrence after resection of colorectal liver metastases is a frequent occurrence, and can in some cases be treated with curative intent. Although surgical re-resection remains standard of care, there is growing interest in the role of ablation in this setting. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes after curative-intent ablation and resection in patients with recurrent colorectal liver metastases. METHODS We retrospectively analysed data from 366 consecutive patients who underwent liver resection for colorectal liver metastases between June 2010 and August 2015. Sixty-four developed liver-limited recurrence which was treated with curative intent, thirty-three (51.6%) by ablation and 31 (48.4%) by repeat resection. RESULTS Patient groups were well matched, with surgically resected patients showing higher pre-operative carcinoembryonic antigen levels and larger metastases. There were fewer post-operative complications and shorter length of stay in the ablation group (p < 0.02). After a median follow-up of 36.2 months, median overall survival was the same for both the resected and ablated groups at 33.3 months. Median progression-free survival was longer for patients treated with surgery (10.2 months) compared to ablation (4.3 months) (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Ablation or resection for liver-limited recurrence after surgery for colorectal liver metastases is associated with improved overall survival compared with systemic chemotherapy alone, and should always be considered for patients with resectable liver recurrence. Although ablation seemed to be associated with a shorter progression-free survival, post-procedure morbidity was significantly lower. The choice between ablation and resection should therefore be made on a personalised basis.

Abstract
Surgical resection remains the primary curative treatment option for patients with colorectal liver metastases. While the majority of patients will develop tumor relapse within or outside of the liver after hepatic metastasectomy, a subset of these patients may be amenable to salvage surgical resection. However, outcomes for this approach are not well defined. In this article, we summarize the current evidence for the incidence, feasibility and outcomes of salvage resection for recurrence after initial resection of colorectal liver metastases.

Abstract
AIM There is debate as to the correct treatment algorithm sequence for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer with liver metastases. The aim of the study was to assess safety, resectability and survival after a modified 'liver-first' approach. METHOD This was a retrospective study of patients undergoing preoperative radiotherapy for the primary rectal tumour, followed by liver resection and, finally, resection of the primary tumour. Short-term surgical outcome, overall survival and recurrence-free survival are reported. RESULTS Between 2009 and 2013, 45 patients underwent liver resection after preoperative radiotherapy. Thirty-four patients (76%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 24 (53%) concomitant chemotherapy during radiotherapy and 17 (43%) adjuvant chemotherapy. The median time interval from the last fraction of radiotherapy to liver resection and rectal surgery was 21 (range 7-116) and 60 (range 31-156) days, respectively. Rectal resection was performed in 42 patients but was not performed in one patient with complete response and two with progressive metastatic disease. After rectal surgery three patients did not proceed to a planned second stage liver (n = 2) or lung (n = 1) resection due to progressive disease. Clavien-Dindo ≥Grade III complications developed in 6.7% after liver resection and 19% after rectal resection. The median overall survival and recurrence-free survival in the patients who completed the treatment sequence (n = 40) were 49.7 and 13.0 months, respectively. Twenty of the 30 patients who developed recurrence underwent further treatment with curative intent. CONCLUSION The modified liver-first approach is safe and efficient in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer and allows initial control of both the primary tumour and the liver metastases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Colorectal liver metastases develop in 50% of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Surgical resection for colorectal liver metastasis typically involves either anatomical resection (AR) or parenchymal-sparing hepatectomy (PSH). The objective of the current study was to analyze data on parenchymal versus non-parenchymal-sparing hepatic resections for CLM. METHODS A systematic review of the literature regarding parenchymal-sparing hepatectomy was performed. MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases were searched for publications containing the following medical subject headings (MeSH): "Colorectal Neoplasms," "Neoplasm Metastasis," "Liver Neoplasms" and "Hepatectomy". Besides, the following keywords were used to complete the literature search: "Hepatectomy," "liver resection," "hepatic resection," "anatomic/anatomical," "nonanatomic/ nonanatomical," "major," "minor," "limited," "wedge," "CRLM/CLM," and "colorectal liver metastasis." Data was reviewed, aggregated, and analyzed. RESULTS Two thousand five hundred five patients included in 12 studies who underwent either PSH (n = 1087 patients) or AR (n = 1418 patients) were identified. Most patients had a primary tumor that originated in the colon (PSH 52.2-74.4% vs. AR 53.9-74.3%) (P = 0.289). The majority of studies included a large subset of patients with only a solitary tumor with a reported median tumor number of 1-2 regardless of whether the patient underwent PSH or AR. Median EBL was no different among patients undergoing PSH (100-896 mL) versus AR (200-1489 mL) for CLM (P = 0.248). There was no difference in median length-of-stay following PSH (6-17 days) versus AR (7-15 days) (P = 0.747). While there was considerable inter-study variability regarding margin status, there was no difference in the incidence of R0 resection among patients undergoing PSH (66.7-100%) versus AR (71.6-98.6%) (P = 0.58). When assessing overall survival, there was no difference whether resection of CLM was performed with PSH (5 years OS: mean 44.7%, range 29-62%) or AR (5 years OS: mean 44.6%, range 27-64%) (P = 0.97). CONCLUSION PSH had a comparable safety and efficacy profile compared with AR and did not compromise oncologic outcomes. PSH should be considered an appropriate surgical approach to treatment for patients with CLM that facilitates preservation of hepatic parenchyma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Occasionally, right hepatectomy, rather than parenchyma-preserving hepatectomy, has been performed for solitary small colorectal liver metastasis. The relative oncologic benefits of parenchyma-preserving hepatectomy and right hepatectomy are unclear. This study compared the outcomes of patients with solitary small colorectal liver metastasis in the right liver who underwent parenchyma-preserving hepatectomy and those who underwent right hepatectomy. METHODS The study population consisted of a multicentric cohort of 21,072 patients operated for colorectal liver metastasis between 2000 and 2015 whose data were collected in the LiverMetSurvey registry. Patients with a pathologically confirmed solitary tumor of less than 30 mm in size in the right liver were included. The short- and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent parenchyma-preserving hepatectomy were compared to those of patients who underwent right hepatectomy. RESULTS Of the 1,720 patients who were eligible for the study, 1,478 (86%) underwent parenchyma-preserving hepatectomy and 242 (14%) underwent right hepatectomy. The parenchyma-preserving hepatectomy group was associated with lower rates of major complications (3% vs 10%; P < .001) and 90-day mortality (1% vs 3%; P = .008). Liver recurrence occurred similarly in both groups (20% vs 22%; P = .39). The 5-year recurrence-free survival and overall survival rates were similar in both groups. However, in patients with liver-only recurrence, repeat hepatectomy was more frequently performed in the parenchyma-preserving hepatectomy group than in the right hepatectomy group (67% vs 31%; P < .001), and the overall 5-year survival rate was significantly higher in the parenchyma-preserving hepatectomy group than in the right hepatectomy group (55% vs 23%; P < .001). CONCLUSION Parenchyma-preserving hepatectomy should be considered the standard procedure for solitary small colorectal liver metastasis in the right liver when technically feasible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical resection of limited colorectal liver disease improves long-term survival and can be curative in a subset of selected cases. Image-guided percutaneous ablation therapies have emerged as safe and effective alternative options for selected patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases (CLM) that can be ablated with margins. Ablation causes focal destruction of tissue and has increasingly been shown to provide durable eradication of tumors. METHODS A selective review of literature was conducted in PubMed, focusing on recent studies reporting on the safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes of percutaneous ablation modalities in the treatment of CLM. The present work gives an overview of the different ablation techniques, their current clinical indications, and reported outcomes from most recently published studies. The 'test of time' concept for using ablation as a first local therapy is also described. RESULTS There are several thermal ablative tools currently available, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation, and cryoablation. Most data to date originated from the application of RFA. Adjuvant thermal ablation in the treatment of oligometastatic colon cancer liver disease offers improved oncologic outcomes. The ideal CLM amenable to percutaneous ablation is a solitary tumor with the largest diameter up to 3 cm that can be completely ablated with a sufficient margin. 5-year overall survival rates up to 70% after ablation of unresectable CLM have been reported. Pathologic confirmation of complete tumor necrosis with margins over 5 mm provides best long-term local tumor control by thermal ablation. CONCLUSION Current evidence suggests that percutaneous ablation as adjuvant to chemotherapy improves oncologic outcomes of patients with CLM. For small tumors that can be ablated completely with clear margins, percutaneous ablation may offer outcomes similar to those of surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of specific risk groups for recurrence after surgery for isolated colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) remains challenging due to the heterogeneity of the disease. Classical clinicopathologic parameters have limited prognostic value. The aim of this study was to identify a gene expression signature measured in CRLM discriminating early from late recurrence after partial hepatectomy. METHODS CRLM from two patient groups were collected: I) with recurrent disease ≤12 months after surgery (N = 33), and II) without recurrences and disease free for ≥36 months (N = 30). The patients were clinically homogeneous; all had a low clinical risk score (0-2) and did not receive (neo-) adjuvant chemotherapy. Total RNA was hybridised to Illumina arrays, and processed for analysis. A leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV) analysis was performed to identify a prognostic gene expression signature. RESULTS LOOCV yielded an 11-gene profile with prognostic value in relation to recurrent disease ≤12 months after partial hepatectomy. This signature had a sensitivity of 81.8%, with a specificity of 66.7% for predicting recurrences (≤12 months) versus no recurrences for at least 36 months after surgery (X2 P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The current study yielded an 11-gene signature at mRNA level in CRLM discriminating early from late or no relapse after partial hepatectomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Posttreatment surveillance protocols most often endure for 5 years after resection of colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM). Most recurrences happen within 3 years after surgical removal of the tumour. This study analysed the need of surveillance for patients with at least 3 years of disease-free survival after potentially curative resection of CRLM. METHODS A single-centre, retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients who underwent treatment for CRLM with curative intent between 2000 and 2011. RESULTS In total, 152 of 545 patients (28 %) remained disease-free for 3 years after successful resection of the CRLM. The estimated recurrence rate after 10 years of follow-up in this group of 152 patients was 27 %. More than half of these patients (55 %) could be treated with curative intent for their recurrences. Multivariable analysis revealed that the nodal status of the primary tumour is of significant prognostic value for developing recurrences after 3 years of disease-free survival. A disease-free interval of less than 12 months between resection of primary tumour and detection of CRLM shows a trend towards significance. Both factors were used to create a risk score, showing that patients with a low-risk profile (node-negative status and a disease-free interval <12 months) have an estimated recurrence rate of 5 % and might not benefit from intensive surveillance beyond 3 years of follow-up without a recurrence. CONCLUSIONS The currently developed risk score shows that follow-up can be stopped in a specific subgroup 3 years after treatment for their CRLM with curative intent.

Abstract
Liver resection is the treatment of choice for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM). However, major resections are often required to achieve R0 resection, which are associated with substantial rates of morbidity and mortality. Maximizing the amount of residual liver gained increasing significance in modern liver surgery due to the high incidence of chemotherapy-associated parenchymal injury. This fact, along with the progressive expansion of resectability criteria, has led to the development of a surgical philosophy known as "parenchymal-sparing liver surgery" (PSLS). This philosophy includes a variety of resection strategies, either performed alone or in combination with ablative therapies. A profound knowledge of liver anatomy and expert intraoperative ultrasound skills are required to perform PSLS appropriately and safely. There is a clear trend toward PSLS in hepatobiliary centers worldwide as current evidence indicates that tumor biology is the most important predictor of intrahepatic recurrence and survival, rather than the extent of a negative resection margin. Tumor removal avoiding the unnecessary sacrifice of functional parenchyma has been associated with less surgical stress, fewer postoperative complications, uncompromised cancer-related outcomes and higher feasibility of future resections. The increasing evidence supporting PSLS prompts its consideration as the gold-standard surgical approach for CLM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Repeat liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) is possible in a limited number of patients, with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as an alternative for unresectable CRLMs. The aim of this study was to analyse survival rates with these interventions. METHODS This was a database analysis of patients who underwent first and repeat interventions for synchronous and metachronous CRLMs between 2000 and 2013. Descriptive and survival statistics were calculated. RESULTS Among 431 patients who underwent resection or RFA for CRLMs, 305 patients developed recurrences for which 160 repeat interventions (resection and/or RFA or ablative radiotherapy) were performed. In total, after 707 first or repeat interventions, 516 recurrences (73·0 per cent) developed, of which 276 were retreated curatively. At the time of first intervention, independent risk factors for death were lymph node-positive primary tumour (hazard ratio (HR) 1·40; P = 0·030), more than one CRLM (HR 1·53; P = 0·007), carcinoembryonic antigen level exceeding 200 ng/ml (HR 1·89; P = 0·020) and size of largest CRLM greater than 5 cm (HR 1·54; P = 0·014). The 5-year overall survival rates for liver resection and percutaneous RFA as first intervention were 51·9 and 53 per cent, with a median overall survival of 65·0 (95 per cent c.i. 47·3 to 82·6) and 62·1 (52·2 to 72·1) months, respectively. CONCLUSION RFA had good oncological outcomes in patients with unresectable CRLMs. Radiofrequency ablation is progressively more applied with each additional intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patients who undergo liver resection for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have reported 5-year survivals ranging from 25% to 50%. The current study updated long-term survival for patients with resected liver metastases treated with adjuvant hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) and systemic (SYS) chemotherapy. METHODS Updated survival and recurrence free survival for patients treated on four consecutive adjuvant protocols with HAI and SYS from 1991 to 2009. Patients were divided into two groups: those treated on protocols before 2003 and after 2003. Median follow-up for all patients was 11 years. RESULTS All 287 patients enrolled in four prospective protocols after liver resection are included. Patients treated before 2003 had a median follow-up of 15 years, 5 and 10-year survivals of 56% [95%CI: 49-64%] and 40% [95%CI: 32-47%], respectively, and median survival of 71 months. Patients treated after 2003 had a median follow-up of 9 years, 5 and 10-year survivals of 78% [95%CI: 70-84%] and 61% [95%CI: 51-70%], respectively, and median survival has not been reached. CONCLUSIONS Survival is improving for patients with mCRC who undergo liver resection. These data support the durability of long-term survival in patients who undergo resection followed by adjuvant HAI and SYS therapy. J. Surg. Oncol. 2016;113:477-484. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Postoperative adhesion is a critical clinical issue after almost all abdominal or pelvic surgeries including liver surgery. Postoperative adhesion causes several complications, such as small bowel obstruction and chronic abdominal pain. Furthermore, it makes reoperation much more difficult, leading to increased mortality and morbidity rate. Postoperative adhesion is particularly problematic for repeated hepatectomy, since hepatic malignant neoplasm recurs frequently and repeated hepatectomy is widely used as one of the most curative treatments. Several treatments to reduce postoperative adhesion have been developed, which include laparoscopic surgery, administration of pharmacological agents and use of prophylactic barrier materials. However, none of them are optimal. We have proposed a novel treatment using a cell sheet of fetal liver mesothelial cells (FL-MCs) to prevent postoperative adhesion in a novel mouse model. Besides adhesion, repeated hepatectomy has another serious problem; although the liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate, the recovery of liver mass and function of the remnant liver after multiple repeated hepatectomy is limited. The FL-MC cell sheet enhances proliferation of hepatocytes after hepatectomy by providing growth factors for hepatocytes. Thus the FL-MC sheet could simultaneously solve the two problems associated with repeated hepatectomy.
