Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of the COLLISION RELAPSE trial is to prove or disprove superiority of neoadjuvant systemic therapy followed by repeat local treatment (either thermal ablation and/or surgical resection), compared to repeat local treatment alone, in patients with at least one recurrent locally treatable CRLM within one year and no extrahepatic disease. METHODS A total of 360 patients will be included in this phase III, multicentre randomized controlled trial. The primary endpoint is overall survival. Secondary endpoints are distant progression-free survival, local tumour progression-free survival analysed per patient and per tumour, systemic therapy-related toxicity, procedural morbidity and mortality, length of hospital stay, pain assessment and quality of life, cost-effectiveness ratio and quality-adjusted life years. DISCUSSION If the addition of neoadjuvant systemic therapy to repeat local treatment of CRLM proves to be superior compared to repeat local treatment alone, this may lead to a prolonged life expectancy and increased disease-free survival at the cost of possible systemic therapy-related side effects. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 1, phase III randomized controlled trial. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT05861505. May 17, 2023.

[PMID: 37697332 PMCID: PMC10494354 DOI: 10.1186/s13046-023-02804-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapeutic agents are used to control tumor proliferation. However, their influence in the pre-metastatic niche of target organs has not been well studied. Oxaliplatin (OXA) is a drug applied in standard treatments of colorectal cancer (CRC), while the direct effect of which on the pre-metastatic microenvironment of the liver remains unclear. METHODS Models of liver metastases were established with luciferase expressing CT26 cells in BALB/c and BALB/c-nude mice. Single-cell RNA Sequencing was performed to examine the immune microenvironment in the liver elicited by OXA. Immunofluorescence and flowcytometry were utilized to confirm the changes in the number of immune cells. LDH, CellTrace CFSE Cell Proliferation and apoptosis assays were conducted to explore the impact of OXA on T cells ex vivo. The correlation between chemotherapy-related lymphopenia and metastases was assessed by meta-analysis. RESULTS Herein we discovered that administration of OXA prior to the occurrence of liver metastasis actually accelerated tumor development and colonization in the liver. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that the landscape of the liver immune microenvironment had been changed to immunosuppressive phenotype. Macrophages after the treatment of OXA exhibited a high ability to inhibit the activation of T cells. Further investigation revealed a significant decrease in the number of T cells in the liver, particularly CD8+ T cells with reduced capacity of proliferation, activation, and killing. When mice were treated with T cell supplementation, the OXA-induced metastasis was notably abolished, indicating that the OXA-primed liver microenvironment could be reversed by the infusion of T cells. Consistent with our findings in mice, a meta-analysis was performed to verify that chemotherapy-related lymphopenia was associated with an inferior prognosis related with high incidence of metastasis, suggesting the pivotal role of chemotherapy in pre-metastatic niche formation. Furthermore, a notable reduction in the count of both macrophages and T cells was observed in the liver of colorectal cancer (CRC) patient undergoing OXA-based chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Our findings proposed that immunosuppressive microenvironment in liver induced by OXA enhanced liver metastasis of colorectal cancer, which highlighted a new consideration to balance the pro metastases and anti-cancer possibility of OXA treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite important advances in many areas of hepatobiliary surgical practice during the past decades, posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) still represents an important clinical challenge for the hepatobiliary surgeon. The aim of this review is to present the current body of evidence regarding different aspects of PHLF. METHODS A literature review was conducted to identify relevant articles for each topic of PHLF covered in this review. The literature search was performed using Medical Subject Heading terms on PubMed for articles on PHLF in English until May 2022. RESULTS Uniform reporting on PHLF is lacking due to the use of various definitions in the literature. There is no consensus on optimal preoperative assessment before major hepatectomy to avoid PHLF, although many try to estimate future liver remnant function. Once PHLF occurs, there is still no effective treatment, except liver transplantation, where the reported experience is limited. DISCUSSION Strict adherence to one definition is advised when reporting data on PHLF. The use of the International Study Group of Liver Surgery criteria of PHLF is recommended. There is still no widespread established method for future liver remnant function assessment. Liver transplantation is currently the only effective way to treat severe, intractable PHLF, but for many indications, this treatment is not available in most countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy agents for metastatic colorectal cancer can cause liver injury, increasing the risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure after hepatectomy for metastases. The role of noninvasive fibrosis markers in this setting is not well established. AIMS To evaluate the aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) as a predictor of postoperative liver failure. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was utilized to identify patients who received preoperative chemotherapy and underwent hepatectomy for colorectal metastases between 2015 and 2017. Concordance index analysis was conducted to determine APRI's contribution to the prediction of liver failure. The optimal cutoff value was defined and its ability to predict post-hepatectomy liver failure and perioperative bleeding were examined. RESULTS A total of 2374 patients were identified and included in the analysis. APRI demonstrated to be a better predictor of postoperative liver failure than MELD score, with a statistically significant larger area under the curve. The optimal APRI cutoff value to predict liver failure was 0.365. The multivariable logistic regression showed that APRI ≥ 0.365 was independently associated with PHLF, odds ratio (OR) 2.51, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.67-3.77, P < .0001. Likewise, APRI ≥ 0.365 was independently associated with perioperative bleeding complications requiring transfusions, OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.13-1.77, P = 0.002. MELD score was not statistically associated with PHLF or bleeding complications. CONCLUSIONS APRI was independently associated with post-hepatectomy liver failure and perioperative bleeding requiring transfusions after resection of colorectal metastases in patients who received preoperative chemotherapy. Concordance index showed APRI to add significant contribution as a predictor of postoperative liver failure.

Usefulness of ultrasonography and elastography in diagnosing oxaliplatin-induced sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. Int J Clin Oncol 2022; 27:1780-1790. [PMID: 36042137 PMCID: PMC9606101 DOI: 10.1007/s10147-022-02235-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Background Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) refers to liver injury caused by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and anticancer drugs including oxaliplatin. Increased splenic volume (SV) on computed tomography (CT) indicates oxaliplatin-induced SOS. Similarly, ultrasonography and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by shear-wave elastography (SWE) can help diagnose SOS after HSCT; however, their usefulness for diagnosing oxaliplatin-induced SOS remains unclear. We investigated the usefulness of the Hokkaido ultrasonography-based scoring system with 10 ultrasonographic parameters (HokUS-10) and SWE in diagnosing oxaliplatin-induced SOS early. Methods In this prospective observational study, ultrasonography and SWE were performed before and at 2, 4, and 6 months after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. HokUS-10 was used for assessment. CT volumetry of the SV was performed in clinical practice, and an SV increase ≥ 30% was considered the diagnostic indicator of oxaliplatin-induced SOS. We assessed whether HokUS-10 and SWE can lead to an early detection of oxaliplatin-induced SOS before an increased SV on CT. Results Of the 30 enrolled patients with gastrointestinal cancers, 12 (40.0%) with an SV increase ≥ 30% on CT were diagnosed with SOS. The HokUS-10 score was not correlated with an SV increase ≥ 30% (r = 0.18). The change in rate of three HokUS-10 parameters were correlated with an SV increase ≥ 30% (r = 0.32–0.41). The change in rate of LSM by SWE was correlated with an SV increase ≥ 30% (r = 0.40). Conclusions The usefulness of HokUS-10 score was not demonstrated; however, some HokUS-10 parameters and SWE could be useful for the early diagnosis of oxaliplatin-induced SOS.

Abstract
Aim: Compare overall survival (OS) between adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and analyze the effect of chemotherapy on OS. Materials & methods: National Cancer Database was queried for patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma with isolated liver metastases between 2004 and 2016. We evaluated the OS and chemotherapy effect using Kaplan-Meier estimates and multivariable cox regression analyses. Results: Total 6883 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and liver metastases were included, of which 6042 patients were treated with surgery and chemotherapy and 841 patients were treated with surgery only. Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy had better OS compared with patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusion: Patients with colorectal cancer with isolated liver metastases who were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy had better OS compared with adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessing overall tumor burden on the basis of tumor number and size may assist in prognostic stratification of patients after resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). We sought to define the prognostic accuracy of tumor burden by using machine learning (ML) algorithms compared with other commonly used prognostic scoring systems. STUDY DESIGN Patients who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM between 2001 and 2018 were identified from a multi-institutional database and split into training and validation cohorts. ML was used to define tumor burden (ML-TB) based on CRLM tumor number and size thresholds associated with 5-year overall survival. Prognostic ability of ML-TB was compared with the Fong and Genetic and Morphological Evaluation scores using Cohen's d. RESULTS Among 1,344 patients who underwent resection of CRLM, median tumor number (2, interquartile range 1 to 3) and size (3 cm, interquartile range 2.0 to 5.0) were comparable in the training (n = 672) vs validation (n = 672) cohorts; patient age (training 60.8 vs validation 61.0) and preoperative CEA (training 10.2 ng/mL vs validation 8.3 ng/mL) was also similar (p > 0.05). ML empirically derived optimal cutoff thresholds for number of lesions (3) and size of the largest lesion (1.3 cm) in the training cohort, which were then used to categorize patients in the validation cohort into 3 prognostic groups. Patients with low, average, or high ML-TB had markedly different 5-year overall survival (51.6%, 40.9%, and 23.1%, respectively; p < 0.001). ML-TB was more effective at stratifying patients relative to 5-year overall survival (low vs high ML-TB, d = 2.73) vs the Fong clinical (d = 1.61) or Genetic and Morphological Evaluation (d = 0.84) scores. CONCLUSIONS Using a large international cohort, ML was able to stratify patients into 3 distinct prognostic categories based on overall tumor burden. ML-TB was noted to be superior to other CRLM prognostic scoring systems.

Abstract
The liver is the major drug-metabolizing and drug-detoxifying organ. Many drugs can cause liver damage through various mechanisms; however, the liver response to injury includes a relatively narrow spectrum of alterations that, regardless of the cause, are represented by phlogosis, oxidative stress and necrosis. The combination of these alterations mainly results in three radiological findings: vascular alterations, structural changes and metabolic function reduction. Chemotherapy has changed in recent decades in terms of the drugs, protocols and duration, allowing patients a longer life expectancy. As a consequence, we are currently observing an increase in chemotherapy-associated liver injury patterns once considered unusual. Recognizing this form of damage in an early stage is crucial for reconsidering the therapy regimen and thus avoiding severe complications. In this frontier article, we analyze the role of imaging in detecting some of these pathological patterns, such as pseudocirrhosis, “yellow liver” due to chemotherapy-associated steatosis-steatohepatitis, and “blue liver”, including sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, veno-occlusive disease and peliosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) due to chemotherapy can cause severe hepatotoxicity, leading to impaired outcome in patients with colorectal cancer. A previous study introduced gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-EOB-MRI) to diagnose SOS. PURPOSE To assess the reproducibility of Gd-EOB-MRI-based SOS diagnosis and its relationship with response to chemotherapy and long-term outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-six Gd-EOB-MRI scans of patients undergoing chemotherapy for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) were retrospectively analyzed. Three radiologists, blinded to clinical data, independently scored presence and severity of SOS on a 5-point scale (0, definitely not present to 4, definitely present). Patients with a score ≥3 were considered SOS+. Inter-observer agreement between readers was assessed with kappa statistics. Response (RECIST 1.1.), occurrence of new CRLM during follow-up (hepatic progression) and overall survival (OS) were compared between patients with and without SOS. RESULTS The inter-observer agreement of SOS scores was poor, with quadratic kappas of 0.17-0.40. For the binary outcome of SOS+ (confidence level [CL] 3-4) vs. SOS- (CL 0-2) agreement was poor, with kappas of 0.03-0.37. Median follow-up was 24 months (range 4-44 months). Response and OS between patients with and without SOS did not differ significantly for any of the readers. CONCLUSION Inter-observer agreement for the diagnosis of SOS on Gd-EOB-MRI is poor. No significant correlation with relevant outcomes was found for any of the readers. Therefore, MRI for SOS diagnosis might be less useful than previously reported. Other techniques should be explored to accurately diagnose SOS in absence of histological confirmation.

Zhang Y, Ge L, Weng J, Tuo WY, Liu B, Ma SX, Yang KH, Cai H. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with resectable colorectal cancer liver metastases: A systematic review and meta-analysis. World J Clin Cases 2021; 9:6357-6379. [PMID: 34435001 PMCID: PMC8362587 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v9.i22.6357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 04/14/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has been increasingly used in patients with resectable colorectal liver metastases. However, the efficacy and safety of NAC in the treatment of resectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) are still controversial.
AIM To assess the efficacy and application value of NAC in patients with resectable CRLM.
METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from inception to December 2020 to collect clinical studies comparing NAC with non-NAC. Data processing and statistical analyses were performed using Stata V.15.0 and Review Manager 5.0 software.
RESULTS In total, 32 studies involving 11236 patients were included in this analysis. We divided the patients into two groups, the NAC group (that received neoadjuvant chemotherapy) and the non-NAC group (that received no neoadjuvant chemotherapy). The meta-analysis outcome showed a statistically significant difference in the 5-year overall survival and 5-year disease-free survival between the two groups. The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were HR = 0.49, 95%CI: 0.39-0.61, P = 0.000 and HR = 0.48 95%CI: 0.36-0.63, P = 0.000. The duration of surgery in the NAC group was longer than that of the non-NAC group [standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.41, 95%CI: 0.01-0.82, P = 0.044)]. The meta-analysis showed that the number of liver metastases in the NAC group was significantly higher than that in the non-NAC group (SMD = 0.73, 95%CI: 0.02-1.43, P = 0.043). The lymph node metastasis in the NAC group was significantly higher than that in the non-NAC group (SMD = 1.24, 95%CI: 1.07-1.43, P = 0.004).
CONCLUSION We found that NAC could improve the long-term prognosis of patients with resectable CRLM. At the same time, the NAC group did not increase the risk of any adverse event compared to the non-NAC group.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OXA) is a third-generation platinum anticancer drug that is mainly used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). Of note, hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) induced by OXA has become a key concern for patients with CRC receiving chemotherapy with OXA in recent years. Splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, abnormal liver function, and portal hypertension are some of the main clinical characteristics seen in patients with OXA-induced HSOS. Previous studies have suggested that oxidative stress, inflammatory damage, liver fibrosis, and platelet aggregation and adhesion may be involved in the pathogenesis of OXA-induced HSOS. Currently, there are no specific drugs for prevention and treatment of OXA-induced HSOS. In this review, we summarized the epidemiology, pathological characteristics, clinical predictive indicators, related mechanisms, possible prevention and treatment of OXA-related HSOS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the long-term follow-up data including computed tomography (CT) findings of oxaliplatin-induced liver damage in patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS Three hundred and fifty-six patients who underwent surgery followed by oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (OBC) for colorectal cancer between January 2013 and December 2014 were included. Abdominal CT images and laboratory results (serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), albumin, total bilirubin, and platelet counts) were reviewed immediately before (as baseline), during, and after adjuvant OBC. Abdominal CT images were reviewed to assess the heterogeneous liver parenchyma, increase in size of the spleen, development of acute portosystemic shunts during OBC, and imaging findings of chronic portal hypertension. RESULTS During OBC, 90.2% (321/356) of the patients developed parenchymal heterogeneity. Increase in the spleen size during the OBC period was seen in 62.4% (225/356) of patients. The overall rate of development of acute portosystemic shunts during OBC was 23.9% (85/356). These findings were resolved after cessation of OBC except in 1.4% (5/356) of the patients in whom chronic portal hypertension persisted even after completion of OBC. Serum AST, ALT, and total bilirubin levels increased and platelet counts decreased during OBC and returned to normal after completion of OBC; however, they did not reach the pre-OBC levels. CONCLUSION Although most changes associated with liver damage reversed to normal range after completion of OBC, some parameters did not reverse to the pretreatment level, and chronic portal hypertension developed in a small number of patients. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Chronic, persistent oxaliplatin-induced liver damage was not an infrequent complication after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for patients with colorectal cancer. It may cause non-cirrhotic portal hypertension and associated complications such as variceal bleeding.

Abstract
Colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) affect over 50 % of all patients with colorectal cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer in the western world. Resection of CRLM may provide cure and improves survival over chemotherapy alone. However, resectability of CLRM has to be decided in multidisciplinary tumor boards and is based on oncological factors, technical factors and patient factors. The advances of chemotherapy lead to the abolition of contraindications to resection in favor of technical resectability, but somatic mutations and molecular subtyping may improve selection of patients for resection in the future. Technical factors center around anatomy of the lesions, volume of the remnant liver and quality of the liver parenchymal. Multiple strategies have been developed to overcome volume limitations and they are reviewed here. The least investigated topic is how to select the right patients among an elderly and frail patient population for the large variety of technical options specifically for bi-lobar CRLM to keep 90-day mortality as low as possible. The review is an overview over the current state-of-the art and a systematic guide to the topic of resectability of CRLM for both clinicians and patients.

Bevacizumab Does Not Influence the Efficacy of Partial Splenic Embolization in the Management of Chemotherapy-Induced Hypersplenism. Clin Colorectal Cancer 2020; 19:e189-e199.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiangiogenics attenuate chemotherapy-related hepatotoxicity and portal hypertension. The potential impact of bevacizumab on the efficacy and safety of partial splenic embolization (PSE) in the management of chemotherapy-induced hypersplenism (CIH) has never been investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective study with gastrointestinal cancer patients who have undergone PSE for the treatment of thrombocytopenia resulting from hypersplenism. Pre- and post-PSE platelet count (PC), the percentage of patients who resumed systemic therapy, and complication rates were compared between patients exposed and not exposed to bevacizumab. RESULTS A total of 110 patients were eligible. Colorectal cancer was the predominant neoplasm (60%), and 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and bevacizumab were the most commonly provided drugs (70%, 65%, and 65% of patients, respectively). After PSE, 80% of patients recovered PC ≥ 100 × 109/L (100K). Systemic therapy was resumed in 81% of patients. Seventy-one patients exposed to bevacizumab had a median PC before PSE of 77.5K and after PSE of 167.0K, with a mean difference of 108K (P < .0001). Thirty-nine patients not exposed to bevacizumab had a median PC of pre-PSE of 73.0K and post-PSE of 187.0K, with a mean difference of 117.7K (P < .0001). Both groups had similar values of percentages of patients with PC post-PSE ≥ 100K (83% vs. 74%; P = .463), resumption of systemic therapy (85% vs. 74%; P = .213), and complication rates. A linear association between splenic infarction rate and increment in PC was found (P < .0001). CONCLUSION PSE is a safe and effective procedure in the management of CIH, regardless of the provision of bevacizumab. Splenic infarction rate should be optimized to enhance patient outcomes.

Abstract
Patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) have benefited significantly from advances in multimodal treatment with significant improvements in long-term survival. More patients are currently being treated with surgical resection or ablation following neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. However, several cytotoxic agents that are administered routinely have been linked to liver toxicities that impair liver function and regeneration. Recognition of chemotherapy-related liver toxicity emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary planning to optimize care. This review aims to summarize current data on multimodal treatment concepts for CRC, provide an overview of liver damage caused by commonly administered chemotherapeutic agents, and evaluate currently suggested protective agents.

Abstract
A 49-year-old male carcinoma rectum patient was treated with neoadjuvant FOLFOX (folinic acid, fluorouracil (5-FU) and oxaliplatin) chemotherapy, chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine, surgery and adjuvant FOLFOX. On follow-up, the patient developed a metabolically active liver lesion mimicking metastasis. Liver biopsy and histopathology showed sinusoidal dilatation with non-caseating granulomas. Follow-up fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography CT scan demonstrated increase in size of the lesion with metabolic activity suspicious of metastasis. The patient underwent segmental liver resection and histopathology showed non-necrotising granuloma with no evidence of malignancy. It is crucial to consider potential side effects of chemotherapeutic agents and have an unbiased approach when evaluating new liver lesions during post treatment follow-up of colorectal cancer. A multidisciplinary tumour board approach comprising of gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and surgeons is suggested in the management of such patients. The patient is currently doing well and on regular follow-up.

Abstract
The liver is the most common anatomical site for hematogenous metastases from colorectal cancer. Therefore effective treatment of liver metastases is one of the most challenging elements in the management of colorectal cancer. However, there is rare available clinical consensus or guideline only focusing on colorectal liver metastases. After six rounds of discussion by 195 clinical experts of the Shanghai International Consensus Expert Group on Colorectal Liver Metastases (SINCE) from 29 countries or regions, the Shanghai Consensus has been finally completed, based on current research and expert experience. The consensus emphasized the principle of multidisciplinary team, provided detailed diagnosis approaches, and guided precise local and systemic treatments. This Shanghai Consensus might be of great significance to standardized diagnosis and treatment of colorectal liver metastases all over the world.

Abstract
Background: Pre-operative chemotherapy for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is thought to be the cause of hepatotoxicity of non-tumoural parenchyma. Studies on hepatotoxicity are contradictory. We investigated the impact of a single-line pre-operative chemotherapy on non-tumoural liver analysed by an expert hepatico-pancreatico-biliary pathologist, and the consequences on surgical outcomes. Patients and methods: Patients operated for CRLM, after a pure first-line pre-operative chemotherapy, were retrospectively included. Two comparative histopathological analyses were performed for vascular toxicity and steatohepatitis. Results: Between 2003 and 2015, 147 patients were included. Chemotherapy was based on oxaliplatin (40.1%), irinotecan (55.8%), or both (4.1%). The expert pathologist described 38.8% of vascular lesions including dilation, nodular regeneration, and peliosis. In multivariate analysis, vascular lesions correlated to male sex (P = .01), pre-operative platelets <150 g/L (P = .04), and aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) score >0.36 (P = .02). Steatohepatitis was observed in 15 patients (10.2%), more frequently after irinotecan (14.8% vs 3.4%, P = .01; odds ratio [OR] = 7.3; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.5-34.7]), and for patients with body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m2 (P = .004; OR = 10.0; 95% CI = [2.1-47.5]). A total of 29 patients (19.7%) developed major complications with 2 risk factors: portal vein obstruction (PVO) and septic surgery. Reproducibility assessment of steatohepatitis and dilated lesions by 2 pathologists showed moderate agreement (Kappa score 0.53 and 0.54, respectively). Conclusions: There is a probable association between non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and irinotecan. Oxaliplatin seems to lead to higher vascular lesions. Except in the presence of pre-existent comorbidities, liver toxicities should not restrain the use of pre-operative chemotherapy prior to parenchymal-sparing surgery.

Abstract
Post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) comprises of a conundrum of symptoms and signs following major hepatic resections. The pathophysiology essentially revolves around disruption of the normal hepatocyte regeneration and disturbed liver homeostasis. Prompt identification of the pre-operative predictors of PHLF in the form of biochemical parameters and imaging features are of paramount importance for any hepatic surgeon and forms the cornerstone of its management. Treatment revolves around a goal-directed resuscitation of the systemic organ failure. Auxiliary support systems such as liver dialysis devices and stem cell therapy are still under investigational trials for treatment of the same. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the last resort in most cases not responding to other measures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced liver MR imaging findings in colon and rectal cancer patients who received Oxaliplatin. CONCLUSION Spectrum of hepatobiliary phase imaging findings include diffuse heterogeneous dysfunction, macronodular and micronodular FNH-like lesions, and coexistence of periportal increased liver function with FNH-like lesions. Differentiation of these benign lesions from metastasis is crucial to avoid biopsy in patients with colorectal cancers and may allow better understanding of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome pathophysiology and regenerative response of liver.

Abstract
Purpose This study investigated how adding Korean red ginseng extract (KRG) to folinic acid, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) chemotherapy affected the rate of splenomegaly in colon cancer. Methods This retrospective study analyzed 42 patients who were randomly assigned to receive a FOLFOX regimen with or without KRG. Spleen volume change was assessed by computed tomography scans measured before surgery (presurgery volume) and 3 weeks after cessation of the 12th cycle of FOLFOX (postchemotherapy volume). Results All patients showed increased spleen volume. No difference was observed in median presurgery and postchemotherapy volume between the KRG and control groups. However, a ratio defined as postchemotherapy volume divided by presurgery volume was significantly lower in the KRG group than the control group (median, 1.38 [range, 1.0–2.8] in KRG group vs. median, 1.89 [range, 1.1–3.0] in control group, P = 0.028). When splenomegaly was defined as a >61% increase in spleen volume, the rate of splenomegaly was significantly lower in the KRG group than the control group (28.6% vs. 61.9%, P = 0.03). KRG consumption was inversely associated with developing splenomegaly in multivariate analysis. Conclusion Adding KRG during FOLFOX chemotherapy for colon cancer might protect against oxaliplatin-induced splenomegaly. The protective effect of Korean red ginseng should be investigated with further research.

Abstract
AIM To characterize isolated non-obstructive sinusoidal dilatation (SD) by identifying associated conditions, laboratory findings, and histological patterns.
METHODS Retrospectively reviewed 491 patients with SD between 1995 and 2015. Patients with obstruction at the level of the small/large hepatic veins, portal veins, or right-sided heart failure were excluded along with history of cirrhosis, hepatic malignancy, liver transplant, or absence of electrocardiogram/cardiac echocardiogram. Liver histology was reviewed for extent of SD, fibrosis, red blood cell extravasation, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, hepatic peliosis, and hepatocellular plate atrophy (HPA).
RESULTS We identified 88 patients with non-obstructive SD. Inflammatory conditions (32%) were the most common cause. The most common pattern of liver abnormalities was cholestatic (76%). Majority (78%) had localized SD to Zone III. Medication-related SD had higher proportion of portal hypertension (53%), ascites (58%), and median AST (113 U/L) and ALT (90 U/L) levels. Nineteen patients in our study died within one-year after diagnosis of SD, majority from complications related to underlying diseases.
CONCLUSION Significant proportion of SD and HPA exist without impaired hepatic venous outflow. Isolated SD on liver biopsy, in the absence of congestive hepatopathy, requires further evaluation and portal hypertension should be rule out.

Abstract
Background The FOLFIRINOX regimen is the standard first-line treatment for advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (aPDAC). However, because of its potential toxicity, predictive biomarkers could help clinical decision-making. Methods A cohort of 97 aPDAC patients treated with first-line FOLFIRINOX were studied. The association between splenic volume and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was evaluated using univariate and multivariable Cox analyses. The external validation cohort was composed of 117 patients treated with Gemcitabine and 52 patients treated with FOLFIRINOX. Results In the training cohort, the splenic volume of 97 patients was measured at baseline and at the end of therapy. The spleen size increased in 81% of patients, with at least a 50% increase in 27% of patients. Baseline splenomegaly predicted PFS (HR 1.812, 95% CI = [1.036–3.169]; p = 0.03) and OS (HR 1.983, 95% CI = [1.085–3.624]; p = 0.02) in the training cohort. These results were then validated in an external cohort of patients who were treated with FOLFIRINOX excluding those in the control cohort who were treated with gemcitabine. In a multivariate model based on the CoxBoost method, the following were selected as predictive markers of FOLFIRINOX efficacy (AUC = 0.81): performance status, liver metastasis, baseline Ca199 and CEA levels and baseline splenomegaly. The predictive ability of the model was validated in the external cohort that was also treated with FOLFIRINOX. Conclusions Baseline splenomegaly is a predictive marker of a poor response to FOLFIRINOX in aPDAC and remained predictive when associated with other clinical variables.

Abstract
We aimed to illustrate diseases involving the potential space around the hepatic veins. Perivenous halo sign can be seen in patients with congestive heart failure or fluid overload. Perivenous involvement can be observed in patients with alcoholic fatty liver disease, which can be focal or diffuse. Metastasis and primary liver tumor spread can also involve this space most likely due to involvement of lymphatics around hepatic veins.

Abstract
Background Oxaliplatin is a nonconventional third-generation platinum compound. It is an important chemotherapeutic agent in regimens used in gastrointestinal carcinomas as well as other malignancies. Oxaliplatin toxicity profile includes neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and splenomegaly. The primary aim of this study was to measure the spleen volume of patients on oxaliplatin therapy before and during chemotherapy to detect any increase in splenic size as a biomarker for early oxaliplatin toxicity. Methods This was a prospective pilot study conducted at the American University of Beirut-Medical Center. Fifty patients newly started on oxaliplatin were included. The spleen volume was measured from the patients’ baseline CT scan using the IntelliSpace Portal upgraded system (using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors [RECIST]), for each follow-up CT scan. Side effects were evaluated at each patient visit and graded according to the severity. Results Thirty-seven (74%) patients developed an increase in spleen size. Thirty-three (66%) sampled patients developed peripheral neuropathy (all grades) at 3 months, whereas only two (4%) patients developed grade 3 neuropathy. Only one (3%) patient who developed an increase in spleen size also developed grade 3 peripheral neuropathy – a result that is significantly different (p<0.001) when comparing patients with an increase in spleen size who also developed peripheral neuropathy of other grades. Conclusion An increase in spleen volume possibly precedes a significant peripheral neuropathy which could be a potential marker for oxaliplatin-induced toxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the feasibility of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in the evaluation of hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) in rat models. METHODS Rat SOS models of various severities were created by monocrotaline gavage (n = 40) or by intraperitoneal injection of 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) (n = 16). Liver shear-wave velocity (SWV) was measured using ARFI elastography. Liver samples were analysed for the SOS score, steatosis, lobular inflammation and fibrosis. RESULTS The liver SWV was significantly elevated in the SOS models (1.29-2.24 m/s) compared with that of the matched control rats (1.01-1.09; p≤.09; veFor seven FOLFOX-treated rats which were longitudinally followed-up, the liver SWV significantly increased at 7 weeks (1.32±0.13 m/s) compared with the baseline (1.08±0.1 m/s, p=.015) and then significantly declined after a 2-week, treatment-free period (1.15±0.13 m/s; p=.048). Multivariate analysis revealed that the SOS score (p<.001) and lobular inflammation (p=.044) were independently correlated with the liver SWV. CONCLUSION Liver SWV is elevated in SOS in proportion to the degree of sinusoidal injury and lobular inflammation in rat SOS models. ARFI elastography has potential as an examination for diagnosis, severity assessment and follow-up of SOS. KEY POINTS • Liver SWV using ARFI elastography was significantly elevated in SOS rat. • Sinusoidal injury and lobular inflammation grades had correlation with liver SWV. • ARFI elastography has potential for diagnosis, severity assessment, and follow-up of SOS.

Abstract
During chemotherapy in patients with gastrointestinal malignancy, the hepatic lesions may occur as chemotherapy-induced lesions or tumor-associated lesions, with exceptions for infectious conditions and other incidentalomas. Focal hepatic lesions arising from chemotherapy-induced hepatopathies (such as chemotherapy-induced sinusoidal injury and steatosis) and tumor-associated eosinophilic abscess should be considered a mimicker of metastasis in patients with gastrointestinal malignancy. Accumulating evidence suggests that chemotherapy for gastrointestinal malignancy in the liver has roles in both the therapeutic effects for hepatic metastasis and injury to the non-tumor bearing hepatic parenchyma. In this article, we reviewed the updated concept of chemotherapy-induced hepatopathies and tumor-associated eosinophilic abscess in the liver, focusing on the pathological and radiological findings. Awareness of the causative chemo-agent, pathophysiology, and characteristic imaging findings of these mimickers is critical for accurate diagnosis and avoidance of unnecessary exposure of the patient to invasive tissue-based diagnosis and operations.

Abstract
PURPOSE In recent years, multimodal treatment approaches have led to an increased median survival time of patients with colorectal liver metastases. In particular, this results from new perioperative chemotherapy regimens, which in turn are accompanied by an increased risk of perioperative bleeding and/or liver failure due to the hepatotoxic side effects. Nineteen to 58 % of patients treated with oxaliplatin develop sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). The influence of preexisting SOS on liver surgery remains controversial. METHODS Animals were operated 4 days after SOS induction with monocrotaline and received either vascular occlusion in the form of Pringle maneuver (PM) or hepatectomy (LR; 70 %) or a combination of both (LR + PM). Postoperative liver function was assessed by determination of liver enzyme levels, bile production, and tissue oxygen saturation. RESULTS Preexisting SOS impaired morbidity after liver resection, reflected by elevated liver enzyme levels, reduced bile secretion, and low liver tissue oxygenation levels. Mortality was increased by up to 25 %. Additional ischemia in the form of PM showed no further impact in the LR ± PM group compared to LR alone. CONCLUSION PM without LR results in high enzyme distribution in the SOS group. SOS significantly affects the outcome after liver resection in our experimental rat model only without PM and showed no protective effect in ischemia in the form of PM.

Abstract
A Chinese man who had undergone a curative high anterior resection for sigmoid cancer was administrated XELOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. He subsequently developed sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) that resolved on discontinuation of XELOX treatment. Genetic evaluation determined that he had the GSTT1-null and GSTM1-null genotype, known to be an independent risk factor for developing oxaliplatin-induced SOS.

Abstract
Ideally, tumors that might cause morbidity and mortality should be treated, preferably early, with proven, convincing, and effective therapy to prevent tumor progression or recurrence, while maintaining a favorable risk-benefit profile for the individual patient. For patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), this diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic precision is currently impossible. Despite significant improvements in diagnostic procedures, a sizable number of patients with CRC have liver metastases either at presentation or will subsequently develop it. And in many parts of the world, most cancer-related deaths are still due to metastases that are resistant to conventional therapy. Metastases to the liver occur in more than 50% of patients with CRC and represent the major determinant of outcome following curative treatment of the primary tumor. Liver resection offers the best chance of cure for metastases confined to the liver. However, due to a paucity of randomized controlled trials, its timing is controversial and a hotly debated topic. This article reviews some of the main controversies surrounding the surgical management of colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM).

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a family of nuclear receptors involved in lipid metabolism and liver response to injury. We hypothesised that differences in the expression of PPARs may reflect differences in the cellular microenvironment of the liver and, consequently, in the behaviour of colorectal liver metastases. Of the 145 patients who underwent hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases between 1998 and 2007, 103 had adequate tissue for PPAR staining and histological re-evaluation. The histological characteristics evaluated included sinusoidal dilatation, perisinusoidal fibrosis, ballooning and steatosis. PPAR- α and-γ staining was performed and the results were correlated with clinical and survival data. Lobular inflammation and sinusoidal dilatation were the most common histopathological abnormalities. A total of 50% of the patients were PPAR- α-negative and 34% were PPAR- γ-negative. More patients exhibited lobular inflammation in the PPAR- α -positive group (P=0.023) compared to patients with negative PPAR- α staining, as seen on the multivariate analysis. PPAR- γpositivity was associated with oxaliplatin use, surgical margins ≥1 mm and a trend towards a lesser degree of fibrosis. The median follow-up in this cohort of patients was 48 months. Patients with PPAR- α staining had a worse overall survival (median, 36 vs. 79 months, P=0.037) compared to those with no PPAR- α staining. There was no correlation between PPAR- α or-γpositivity and disease-free survival. In conclusion, PPAR- α staining is associated with lobular inflammation and worse overall survival in patients with colorectal liver metastases. The exact mechanism underlying this finding remains unclear and further research into the diagnostic and therapeutic implications is required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of bicyclol in preventing chemotherapy-induced liver damage. METHODS Patients ≥60 years of age with cancer were equally randomized into control (chemotherapy alone) or prophylactic (chemotherapy supplemented with 75 mg bicyclol, oral, daily) groups. Liver function indices were assessed immediately before treatment, during each therapy cycle and following treatment. RESULTS Of 306 patients enrolled, 300 patiets completed the study (n = 147 and n = 153; prophylactic and control groups, respectively). Incidence of grade I-IV elevation of serum transaminase and/or bilirubin was significantly lower in the prophylactic group (17.1%) compared with the control group (47.1%). Incidence of grade II-IV hepatic injury was also significantly lower in the prophylactic group (0.7%) than in the control group (12.4%). CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic bicyclol (75 mg daily) could significantly reduce the incidence and degree of chemotherapeutic agent-induced liver damage in elderly patients with cancer. Further studies are recommended with larger sample sizes and long-term follow up.

Abstract
The hepatic sinusoids comprise a complex of vascular conduits to transport blood from the porta hepatis to the inferior vena cava through the liver. Under normal conditions, portal venous and hepatic artery pressures are equalized within the sinusoids, oxygen and nutrients from the systemic circulation are delivered to the parenchymal cells and differentially distributed throughout the liver acini, and proteins of liver derivation are carried into the cardiac/systemic circulation. Liver sinusoid structures are lined by endothelial cells unique to their location, and Kupffer cells. Multifunctional hepatic stellate cells and various immune active cells are localized within the space of Disse between the sinusoid and the adjacent hepatocytes. Flow within the sinusoids can be compromised by physical or pressure blockage in their lumina as well as obstructive processes within the space of Disse. The intimate relationship of the liver sinusoids to neighbouring hepatocytes is a significant factor affecting the health of hepatocytes, or transmission of the effects of injury within the sinusoidal space. Pathologists should recognize several patterns of injury involving the sinusoids and surrounding hepatocytes. In this review, injury, alterations and accumulations within the liver sinusoids are illustrated and discussed.

Abstract
Patients with colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) can be cured with surgical resection. Recent advances in systemic chemotherapy, including molecular target agents, can be used to introduce "conversion surgery" and achieve R0 resection even in patients with initially unresectable CRLM. Furthermore, neoadjuvant chemotherapy also tries to be applied in patients with resectable CRLM to maximize the remnant liver and reduce the residual micrometastasis before surgery. The development of chemotherapy-induced hepatic injuries is increasingly being recognized, including sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS), steatosis, steatohepatitis and biliary sclerosis. Especially, oxaliplatin (L-OHP)-based chemotherapy in clinical settings appears to be primarily associated with SOS. Various reports have tried to demonstrate the rationale of the correlation between L-OHP-based chemotherapy and SOS for the following hepatic surgery. While we can recognize that this pathophysiological disadvantage leads to hepatic dysfunction and the increasing postoperative morbidity, the essential part of this problem including clinical disadvantage, onset mechanism, evaluation systems, and targeted agents for prevention and treatment of SOS continue to be unclear. In this review, we summarize the current experience with hepatic injury induced by L-OHP-based chemotherapy, focusing on SOS-based on clinical and experimental data, in order to assist in the resolution of these identified factors. Finally, the need for reliable methods to identify the risk of SOS, to evaluate SOS status and to predict the safety of surgical treatment in patients with chemotherapy prior to surgery will be emphasized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative chemotherapy is increasingly utilized in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Although this strategy may improve resectability, long-term advantages of preoperative chemotherapy for resectable CRLM are less clear. The objective of this study is to report safety and outcomes when perioperative chemotherapy is routinely added to surgery for CRLM. METHODS A retrospective review of patients undergoing liver resections for CRLM during 2003-2011 in single academic oncology center. Demographic data, tumor characteristics, chemotherapy, surgical details, complications and survival were analyzed. RESULTS The study included 157 patients that underwent 168 liver operations. One hundred eighteen patients (70 %) underwent preoperative chemotherapy (75 % oxaliplatin-based). Preoperative portal vein embolization was utilized in 16 (10.1 %) patients. Overall survival (OS) was 89, 57, and 27 % at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively (median survival-42.8 months). Eleven (7 %) patients had repeat resections for liver recurrence. Thirty-day mortality was 1.26 %, morbidity-24 % (6 %-liver related). Complications were not significantly different in patients that had preoperative chemotherapy. On a multivariate analysis advanced age and >3 lesions predicted poor OS, while advanced age, lesions >5 cm, synchronous lesions, margin-positivity and resection less than hepatectomy were associated with decreased DFS. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that even with chemotherapy and resection only a subset of patients remain disease-free after 5 years. However, even in a high-risk patient with multiple lesions, preoperative chemotherapy can be administered safely without apparent increase in postoperative complications. Perioperative chemotherapy should be considered particularly in patients with multifocal or large lesions, synchronous disease and short disease-free interval.

Abstract
Previous studies reported that oxaliplatin is associated with sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. However few reports on oxaliplatin induced liver fibrosis are found in the literature. Furthermore pathogenesis of liver fibrosis is not well known. We report a case of 45-yr-old Korean man in whom liver fibrosis with splenomegaly developed after 12 cycles of oxaliplatin based adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer (T4N2M0). Thorough history taking and serological examination revealed no evidence of chronic liver disease. Restaging CT scans demonstrated a good response to chemotherapy. Five month after chemotherapy, he underwent right hepatectomy due to isolated metastatic lesion. The liver parenchyma showed diffuse sinusoidal dilatation and centrilobular vein fibrosis with necrosis without steatosis. We could conclude that splenomegaly was due to perisinusoidal liver fibrosis and liver cell necrosis induced portal hypertension by oxaliplatin. In addition, to investigate the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis, immunohistochemical stains such as CD31 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) were conducted with control group. The immunohistochemical stains for CD31 and α-SMA were positive along the sinusoidal space in the patient, while negative in the control group. Chemotherapy with oxaliplatin induces liver fibrosis which should be kept in mind as a serious complication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The most frequent presentation of chemotherapy-related toxicity in colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS). The purpose of the present study was to identify preoperative factors predictive of SOS and to establish associations between type of chemotherapy and severity of SOS. METHODS A retrospective study was carried out in a tertiary academic referral hospital. Patients suffering from CRLM who had undergone resection of at least one liver segment were included. Grading of SOS on the non-tumoral liver parenchyma was accomplished according to the Rubbia-Brandt criteria. A total of 151 patients were enrolled and divided into four groups according to the severity of SOS (grades 0-3). RESULTS Multivariate analysis identified oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil as chemotherapeutic agents responsible for severe SOS lesions (P < 0.001 and P = 0.005, respectively). Bevacizumab was identified as having a protective effect against the occurrence of SOS lesions (P = 0.005). Univariate analysis identified the score on the aspartate aminotransferase : platelets ratio index (APRI) as the most significant biological factor predictive of severe SOS lesions. Splenomegaly is also significantly associated with the occurrence of severe SOS lesions. CONCLUSIONS The APRI score and splenomegaly are effective as factors predictive of SOS. Bevacizumab has a protective effect against SOS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a severe complication after hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases. This study evaluated its actual incidence and its effects on short- and long-term overall survival (OS) in a specialized center. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2006 and 2008, 193 patients who underwent 232 hepatectomies (147 minor and 85 major) for colorectal liver metastasis were studied prospectively. Hepatectomy was performed if the remnant liver volume was >0.5% of body weight. Uni- and multivariate analyses on OS after all hepatectomies (n = 232) or major resection only (n = 85) were then performed on pre-, intra-, and postoperative (including pathological) data to determine the consequences of PHLF by comparison with those of other intra- and postoperative events. RESULTS The 3-month postoperative mortality rate was 0.8%. PHLF was observed in six patients (7%) after major hepatectomy and in one (0.6%) after minor hepatectomy. With a 25-month follow-up, the 2-year OS rate was 84%. Preoperatively, pulmonary metastasis was the only determinant of OS. Intra- and postoperatively, four factors were determinant of OS: PHLF (risk ratio [RR] = 3.84, P = .04), mental confusion (RR = 3.11, P = .006), fluid collection (RR = 2.9, P = .01) and transfusion (RR = 2.27, P = .009). After major hepatectomy, only PHLF (RR = 4.14, P = .01) and confusion (RR = 3.6, P = .02) were identified. CONCLUSION With improvements in postoperative management, PHLF was found to be less responsible for 3-month mortality but remains an event that exerts a major impact on 2-year survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A considerable number of patients develop sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for colorectal liver metastases (CLMs). SOS is associated with adverse outcomes after major hepatectomy. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a marker of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cell function and may serve as an accurate marker of SOS. This study aimed to assess the value of systemic HA levels and fractional extraction (FE) of HA by the splanchnic area and liver as markers of SOS after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for CLMs. METHODS Forty patients were studied. The presence of SOS was assessed histopathologically. Blood samples from the radial artery and portal and hepatic veins were collected. HA levels were determined by ELISA and the FE of HA was estimated. RESULTS SOS was present in 23 patients, 11 of whom demonstrated moderate or severe SOS. Preoperative HA levels were significantly higher in patients with moderate or severe SOS (group B, n = 11) compared to patients with no or mild SOS (group A, n = 29) (51.6 ± 10.2 ng/mL vs. 32.1 ± 3.5 ng/mL, p = 0.030). A cutoff HA level of 44.1 ng/mL yielded a sensitivity of 67 % and specificity of 83 % for detection of SOS. The positive predictive value was 50 % and the negative predictive value 91 %. Both groups exhibited a similar FE of HA by the splanchnic area (-7.9 ± 8.5 % in Group A vs. 7.3 ± 3.6 % in Group B, p = 0.422) and liver (-10.7 ± 6.2 % in Group A vs. 4.6 ± 2.3 % in Group B, p = 0.265). CONCLUSIONS Systemic HA levels can be used to detect patients at risk of SOS after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for CLMs. Additional investigations into the presence of SOS are indicated in patients with elevated HA levels.

INTRODUCTION Liver failure after hepatectomy remains the most feared postoperative complication. Many risk factors are already known, related to patient's comorbidities, underlying liver disease, received treatments and type of resection. Preoperative assessment of functional liver reserve must be a priority for the surgeon. METHODS Physiopathology of post-hepatectomy liver failure is not comparable to fulminant liver failure. Liver regeneration is an early phenomenon whose cellular mechanisms are beginning to be elucidated and allowing most of the time to quickly recover a functional organ. In some cases, microscopic and macroscopic disorganization appears. The hepatocyte hyperproliferation and the asynchronism between hepatocytes and non-hepatocyte cells mitosis probably play a major role in this pathogenesis. RESULTS Many peri- or intra-operative techniques try to prevent the occurrence of this potentially lethal complication, but a better understanding of involved mechanisms might help to completely avoid it, or even to extend the possibilities of resection. CONCLUSION Future prevention and management may include pharmacological slowing of proliferation, drug or physical modulation of portal flow to reduce shear-stress, stem cells or immortalized hepatocytes injection, and liver bioreactors. Everything must be done to avoid the need for transplantation, which remains today the most efficient treatment of liver failure.

Influence of hepatic parenchymal histology on outcome following right hepatic trisectionectomy. J Gastrointest Surg 2012; 16:2064-73. [PMID: 22923210 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-012-2008-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2012] [Accepted: 08/14/2012] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Histological abnormalities in the non-tumour-bearing liver (NTBL) may influence outcome following hepatectomy. Effects will be most pertinent following right trisectionectomy but have yet to be specifically examined in this context. This study aimed to investigate the influence of perioperative factors, including NTBL histology, on outcome following right trisectionectomy. METHODS Pathological review of the NTBL of 103 consecutive patients undergoing right trisectionectomy between January 2003 and December 2009 was performed using established criteria for steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), sinusoidal injury (SI), fibrosis and cholestasis. Perioperative and pathological factors were correlated with post-operative outcome (morbidity, major morbidity, hepatic insufficiency and mortality). RESULTS Morbidity, hepatic insufficiency and major morbidity occurred in 37.9 %, 14.6 % and 22.3 % of cases, respectively. Ninety-day mortality rate was 5.8 %. NASH (P = 0.007) and perioperative blood transfusion (P = 0.001) were independently associated with hepatic insufficiency following trisectionectomy. NASH (P = 0.028), perioperative transfusion (P = 0.016), diabetes mellitus (P = 0.047) and coronary artery disease (P = 0.036) were independently associated with major morbidity. Steatosis, SI, fibrosis and cholestasis in the NTBL demonstrated no association with any adverse outcome. CONCLUSION NASH, but not steatosis or SI, is associated with adverse outcome following right trisectionectomy and caution must be exerted when considering major hepatectomy in patients with NASH.

Surgical options for initially unresectable colorectal liver metastases. HPB SURGERY : A WORLD JOURNAL OF HEPATIC, PANCREATIC AND BILIARY SURGERY 2012; 2012:454026. [PMID: 23082042 PMCID: PMC3469091 DOI: 10.1155/2012/454026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2012] [Accepted: 08/21/2012] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Although the frontiers of liver resection for colorectal liver metastases have broadened in recent decades, approximately 75% of these patients present with unresectable metastases at the time of their diagnosis. In the past, these patients underwent only palliative treatment, without the chance of a cure. In the previous two decades, several therapeutic strategies have been developed that render resectable those metastases that were initially unresectable, thus offering the chance of long-term survival and even a cure to these patients. The oncosurgical modalities that are available include liver resection following portal vein ligation/embolization, “two-stage” liver resection, one-stage ultrasonically guided liver resection, hepatectomy following conversion chemotherapy, and liver resection combined with thermal ablation. Moreover, in recent years, certain authors have recommended the revisiting of the concept of liver transplantation in highly selected patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases and favorable prognostic factors. By employing such therapies, the number of patients with colorectal liver metastases who undergo a potentially curative treatment could increase to 40%. The safety profile of these approaches is acceptable (morbidity rates as high as 45%, mortality rates of less than 5%). Furthermore, the 5-year survival rates (approximately 30%) are significantly increased over those that were achieved with palliative treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver resection is a possibly curative treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases. Preoperative chemotherapy may make initially irresectable tumors resectable. The aim of this study was to compare perioperative course and short-term mortality after liver resection for CRC metastases between patients who were and were not treated with preoperative chemotherapy. METHODS Patients who had undergone liver resection for CRC metastases were included. A total of 97 patients treated with preoperative chemotherapy (group A) were compared with 136 who were not (group B). Intraoperative bleeding, operating time, complications, duration of stay, and mortality were compared using Pearson's χ(2) test, Fisher's exact test, and the Mann-Whitney U-test. RESULTS Mean intraoperative bleeding, duration of stay, and operating time were not significantly different. Complications occurred in 62.9% and 63.2% in groups A and B, respectively. The 30- and 90-day mortality rates were zero in group A, comparable to 1.5% in group B. CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in the perioperative course or postoperative mortality when comparing CRC patients with or without chemotherapy prior to liver resection. Consequently, this study suggests that preoperative chemotherapy before liver resection for CRC metastases does not negatively influence perioperative outcome and can therefore be applied if "downstaging" is indicated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Compare perioperative course and long-term mortality after liver resection for colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases between patients who had preoperative treatment with portal vein embolization (PVE) and chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. METHODS Among patients undergoing liver resection for CRC metastases following preoperative chemotherapy treatment, 17 patients who had received preoperative PVE (group A) were compared with 17 matched controls who had no PVE (group B). Perioperative course and long-term mortality were compared between groups A and B and between group A and the entire group of 75 cases with preoperative chemotherapy (group C). RESULTS Baseline characteristics for the matched groups A and B were similar. Group C included less major resections. Median intraoperative bleeding was 1600 ml in group A, 1200 ml in group B, and 1000 ml in group C (p < 0.05 vs. group A). Median postoperative stay was comparable in all groups (8-9 days). Operation time was 542 min in group A and 464 min in group B (p < 0.01). Mortality after 30 days and 1, 2, and 5 years was similar in all groups. CONCLUSION Perioperative outcome and long-term survival did not differ when comparing liver resection for CRC liver metastases preceded by PVE and chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone, except for the operation time. The study supports the safety of this "aggressive" combination approach in patients in need of tumor "downstaging" by chemotherapy and PVE to increase the remnant liver volume.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-associated liver injury is a major cause for concern when treating patients with colorectal liver metastases. The aim of this review was to determine the pathological effect of specific chemotherapy regimens on the hepatic parenchyma as well as on surgical morbidity, mortality and overall survival. METHODS A systematic review of the published literature and a meta-analysis were performed. For each of the variables under consideration, the effects of different chemotherapy regimens were determined by calculation of relative risks by a random-effects model. RESULTS Hepatic parenchymal injury is regimen specific, with oxaliplatin-based regimens being associated with grade 2 or greater sinusoidal injury (number needed to harm 8; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 6.4-13.6), whereas irinotecan-based regimens associated with steatohepatitis (number needed to harm 12; 95 % CI 7.8-26). The use of bevacizumab alongside FOLFOX reduces the risk of grade 2 or greater sinusoidal injury (relative risk 0.34; 95 % CI 0.15-0.75). CONCLUSIONS Chemotherapy before resection of colorectal liver metastases is associated with an increased risk of regimen-specific liver injury. This liver injury may have implications for the functional reserve of the liver for patients undergoing major hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases.
