Ann Thorac Surg 2024:S0003-4975(24)00289-3. [PMID: 38641193 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.03.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Race is a potent influencer of health care access. Geography and income may exert equal or greater influence on patient outcomes. We sought to define the intersection of race, rurality, and income and their influence on access to minimally invasive lung surgery in Medicare beneficiaries. METHODS Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services data were used to evaluate patients with lung cancer who underwent right upper lobectomy, by open, robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS), or video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) between 2018 and 2020. International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, was used to define diagnoses and procedures. We excluded sublobar, segmental, wedge, bronchoplasty, or reoperative patients with nonmalignant or metastatic disease or a history of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Risk adjustment was performed using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) propensity scores with generalized linear models and Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS The cohort comprised 13,404 patients, 4291 open (32.1%), 4317 RATS (32.2%), and 4796 VATS (35.8%). Black/urban patients had significantly higher RATS and VATS rates (P < .001), longer long-term survival (P = .007), fewer open resections (P < .001), and lower overall mortality (P = .007). Low-income Black/urban patients had higher RATS (P = .002), VATS (P < .001), longer long-term survival (P = .005), fewer open resections (P < .001), and lower overall mortality compared with rural White patients (P = .005). CONCLUSIONS Rural White populations living close to the federal poverty line may suffer a burden of disparity traditionally observed among poor Black people. This suggests a need for health policies that extend services to impoverished, rural areas to mitigate social determinants of health.

Mortality index is more accurate than volume in predicting outcome and failure to rescue in Medicare beneficiaries undergoing robotic right upper lobectomy. JTCVS OPEN 2024; 18:276-305. [PMID: 38690442 PMCID: PMC11056482 DOI: 10.1016/j.xjon.2024.01.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Background Surgical volume is known to influence failure to rescue (FTR), defined as death following a complication. Robotic lung surgery continues to expand and there is variability in outcomes among hospitals. We sought to estimate the contribution of hospital-based factors on outcomes and FTR following robotic right upper lobectomy (RRUL). Methods Using the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services inpatient claims database, we evaluated all patients age ≥65 years with a diagnosis of lung cancer who underwent RRUL between January 2018 and December 2020. We excluded patients who had undergone segmentectomy, sublobar, wedge, or bronchoplastic resection; had metastatic or nonmalignant disease; or had a history of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Primary outcomes included FTR rate, length of stay (LOS), readmissions, conversion to open surgery, complications, and costs. We analyzed hospitals by tertiles of volume and Medicare Mortality Index (MMI). Defined as the institutional number of deaths per number of survivors, MMI is a marker of overall hospital performance and quality. Propensity score models were adjusted for confounding using goodness of fit. Results Data for 4317 patients who underwent robotic right upper lobectomy were analyzed. Hospitals were categorized by volume of cases (low, <9; medium, 9-20; high, >20) and MMI (low, <0.04; medium, 0.04-0.13; high, >0.13). After propensity score balancing, patients from tertiles of lowest volume and highest MMI had higher costs ($34,222 vs $30,316; P = .006), as well as higher mortality (odds ratio, 7.46; 95% confidence interval, 2.67-28.2; P < .001). Compared to high-volume centers, low-volume centers had higher rates of conversion to open surgery, respiratory failure, hemorrhagic anemia, and death; longer LOS; and greater cost (P < .001 for all). The C-statistic for volume as a predictor of overall mortality was 0.6, and the FTR was 0.8. Hospitals in the highest tertile of MMI had the highest rates of conversion to open surgery (P = .01), pneumothorax (P = .02), and respiratory failure (P < .001). They also had the highest mortality and rate of readmission, longest LOS, and greatest costs (P < .001 for all) and the shortest survival (P < .001). The C-statistic for MMI as a predictor of overall mortality was 0.8, and FTR was 0.9. Conclusions The MMI incorporates hospital-based factors in the adjudication of outcomes and is a more sensitive predictor of FTR rates than volume alone. Combining MMI and volume may provide a metric that can guide quality improvement and cost-effectiveness measures in hospitals seeking to implement robotic lung surgery programs.

Abstract
The benefits and prognosis of RPLND in CRC have not yet been fully established. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the outcomes for CRC patients with RPLNM undergoing RPLND. A literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, EMCare, and CINAHL identified studies from between January 1990 and June 2022 that reported data on clinical outcomes for patients who underwent RPLND for RPLNM in CRC. The following primary outcome measures were derived: postoperative morbidity, disease free-survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and re-recurrence. Nineteen studies with a total of 541 patients were included. Three hundred and sixty-three patients (67.1%) had synchronous RPLNM and 178 patients (32.9%) had metachronous RPLNM. Perioperative chemotherapy was administered in 496 (91.7%) patients. The median DFS was 8.6-38.0 months and 5-year DFS was 24.4% (10.0-60.5%). The median OS was 25.0-83.0 months and 5-year OS was 47.0% (15.0-87.5%). RPLND is a feasible treatment option with limited morbidity and possible oncological benefit for both synchronous and metachronous RPLNM in CRC. Further prospective clinical trials are required to establish a better evidence base for RPLND in the context of RPLNM in CRC and to understand the timing of RPLND in a multimodality pathway in order to optimise treatment outcomes for this group of patients.

Survival and prognostic factors of isolated pulmonary metastases originating from colorectal cancer: An 8-year single-center experience. Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2022; 77:103559. [PMID: 35638071 PMCID: PMC9142401 DOI: 10.1016/j.amsu.2022.103559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 03/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Isolated pulmonary metastasis (IPM) is a rare entity that accounts for 10% of pulmonary metastases seen in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aims to evaluate the overall 5-year survival of IPM originating from CRC and identify potential prognostic factors affecting the overall survival (OS). Methods A retrospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary care center. The study included all patients diagnosed with CRC aged 18–75 years who underwent primary tumor resection with curative intent between 2008 and 2015, and developed IPM. Patients with no follow-up and those with extra-pulmonary metastases were excluded. Results The prevalence of IPM in the overall CRC cases was 4.18% (20/478 patients). The mean age of patients with IPM was 52.7 ± 12.9 years. Ten patients had synchronous IPM (50%), thirteen had unilateral (65%), and eleven underwent metastasectomy (55%). The 5-year OS was 40%, and the mean OS was 3.12 ± 1.85 years. Several factors were found to be associated with a favorable outcome, which include unilateral IPM (3.69 vs. 2.07 years; P = 0.024), metachronous (4.25 vs. 2.14 years; P = 0.017), metastasectomy (4.81 vs. 1.83 years; P = 0.005). In addition, mortality was likely to be decreased by more than 90% after metastasectomy (unadjusted odds ratio = 0.071; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.01–0.8; P = 0.032). Conclusions Forty percent of the included patients survived the 5-year follow-up. Better survival was associated with the metastases being unilateral, metachronous, and metastasectomy. Mortality was lower in patients with pulmonary recurrence after metastasectomy. IPM showed an incidence of 4% among resectable CRC patients. IPM demonstrated 40% 5-year overall survival. Survival was not influenced by age, comorbidities, KRAS mutation, nor the number of pulmonary lesions. Unilateral lesions, metachronous metastases, and metastasectomy were associated with a favorable outcome. The mortality was likely to be decreased by >90% after metastasectomy.

Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20235986. [PMID: 31795079 PMCID: PMC6929121 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20235986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2019] [Revised: 11/20/2019] [Accepted: 11/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
This article summarizes the histories of six patients with different solid tumors treated with a new strategy based on tumor burden reduction and immune evasion as potential targets. All six patients were at a high risk of relapse and were likely to have a minimal residual disease following conventional therapy: biochemical recurrence (BCR) following radical prostatectomy (RP) (two prostate cancers patients), removal of distant metastases (one colorectal and one breast cancer), and complete response (CR) of distant metastases to conventional therapy (one breast cancer and one esophageal–gastric junction cancer). Four of the patients, two after RP and BCR, one after removal of a single pulmonary metastasis from breast cancer, and one after CR to chemotherapy of peritoneal metastases and ascites from an esophageal–gastric junction primary cancer, regularly received cycles of a new drug schedule with the aim of inhibiting immune suppression (IT). In these four patients, preliminary laboratory tests of peripheral blood suggested an interleukin (IL)-2/IL-12 mediated stimulation of cellular immune response with a concomitant decrease in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) immune suppression. The fifth case was a breast cancer patient with distant metastases in CR, while receiving beta-interferon and interleukin-2 in addition to conventional hormone therapy. To date, all five patients are alive and doing well and they have been unexpectedly disease-free for 201 and 78 months following BCR, 28 months following the removal of a single pulmonary metastases, 32 months following CR to chemotherapy of peritoneal metastases and ascites, and 140 months following diagnosis of multiple bone metastases, respectively. The sixth patient, who had colorectal cancer and multiple synchronous liver metastases and underwent nine surgical interventions for metastatic disease, although not disease-free, is doing well 98 months after primary surgery. Our six cases reports can be interpreted with the hypothesis that immune manipulation and/or a concomitant low tumor burden favored their clinical outcome.

Long-term outcome after sequential liver and lung metastasectomy is comparable to outcome of isolated liver or lung metastasectomy in colorectal carcinoma. Surg Oncol 2019; 30:22-26. [PMID: 31500780 DOI: 10.1016/j.suronc.2019.05.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2019] [Revised: 05/01/2019] [Accepted: 05/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previously, colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis of both liver and lungs was considered disseminated disease, which contraindicated surgical metastasectomies. Increasing evidence from studies on patient series have indicated that survival improved after resecting both liver and lung metastases. However, those results and long-term outcomes remain controversial. We aimed to compare surgical outcomes between patients treated for both liver and lung metastases to the patients who had only isolated liver or lung metastases. MATERIAL AND METHODS All patients (n = 105) underwent surgery for CRC metastases between July 2002 and September 2015. Three groups were compared: the sequentially operated group (n = 33 patients) underwent sequential liver and lung resections; the liver group (n = 38 patients) underwent liver resections; and the lung group (n = 34 patients) underwent lung resections. The main endpoints were long-term survival rates. RESULTS The groups were not different in disease-free survival (P = 0.727) or overall survival (P = 0.218). Five-year survival rates were 69.7% in the sequentially operated group, 65.1% in the liver group, and 50.0% in the lung group. CONCLUSION Long-term outcomes after sequential liver and lung resections of CRC metastases were comparable to outcomes after isolated liver or lung metastasectomies. Therefore, aggressive surgical interventions should be considered for patients with both liver and lung metastases of CRC.

Abstract
Background The management of metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) has changed dramatically in the last 20 years, and the role of surgery in the immunotherapy’s era is under debate. Metastatic lesions interesting pancreas are infrequent, but those harbouring from RCC have an high incidence. If metachronous resections are not rare, synchronous resection of primary RCC and its pancreatic metastasis is uncommonly reported, and accounts for a bad prognosis. Case presentation We report the case of a 68 years old woman, who presented hematuria at hospital incoming, with radiological appearance of a 13 cm left renal mass, with a 2.5 cm single pancreatic tail metastasis. Work-up of staging ruled out other distant metastases, urothelial cancer and there was no evidence of inferior vena cava thrombosis. We choose a 5-port trans-peritoneal robotic approach using lazy right lateral decubitus. Synchronous robotic radical nephrectomy and spleen-sparing pancreatic resection was performed. The pancreatic mass was completely enucleated from pancreatic parenchyma using a latero-medial dissection. Peri-operative hemoglobine loss was 2.4 g/dL. Total operative time was 213 min. No post-operative complications were recorded and patient was discharged in 7th post-operative day. Histopathological examination showed a pT2b N0 M1 RCC, Fuhrman grade II, with pancreatic tail metastasis; both, primary and metastatic lesions had the same histological characteristics with negative surgical margins. After 9 months patient had no evidence of disease recurrence at radiological studies. Conclusions The rationale for surgical removal of disseminated tumor, followed by immunotherapy, includes improving prognosis and enhancing the potential of an immune-mediated response to systemic treatment. A spleen-sparing procedure can adequately preserve post-operative immunologic capabilities. In our experience, the correct assessment of pre-operative imaging data and surgeon skills in robotic surgery seem to play a key role in the success of these procedures. Robotic surgery seems to enhance the possibility to control multiple vessels encountered during dissection. Such a conservative approach may be helpful in future research aimed at uncovering biological features, and also leading to better targeted preventive interventions and more individualized and effective treatments.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate safety and outcomes of a new technique for extreme hepatic resections with preservation of segment 4 only.
METHODS The new method of extreme liver resection consists of a two-stage hepatectomy. The first stage involves a right hepatectomy with middle hepatic vein preservation and induction of left lobe congestion; the second stage involves a left lobectomy. Thus, the remnant liver is represented by the segment 4 only (with or without segment 1, ± S1). Five patients underwent the new two-stage hepatectomy (congestion group). Data from volumetric assessment made before the second stage was compared with that of 10 matched patients (comparison group) that underwent a single-stage right hepatectomy with middle hepatic vein preservation.
RESULTS The two stages of the procedure were successfully carried out on all 5 patients. For the congestion group, the overall volume of the left hemiliver had increased 103% (mean increase from 438 mL to 890 mL) at 4 wk after the first stage of the procedure. Hypertrophy of the future liver remnant (i.e., segment 4 ± S1) was higher than that of segments 2 and 3 (144% vs 54%, respectively, P < 0.05). The median remnant liver volume-to-body weight ratio was 0.3 (range, 0.28-0.40) before the first stage and 0.8 (range, 0.45-0.97) before the second stage. For the comparison group, the rate of hypertrophy of the left liver after right hepatectomy with middle hepatic vein preservation was 116% ± 34%. Hypertrophy rates of segments 2 and 3 (123% ± 47%) and of segment 4 (108% ± 60%, P > 0.05) were proportional. The mean preoperative volume of segments 2 and 3 was 256 ± 64 cc and increased to 572 ± 257 cc after right hepatectomy. Mean preoperative volume of segment 4 increased from 211 ± 75 cc to 439 ± 180 cc after surgery.
CONCLUSION The proposed method for extreme hepatectomy with preservation of segment 4 only represents a technique that could allow complete resection of multiple bilateral liver metastases.

Abstract
In the last module of this consensus, controversial topics were discussed. Management of the disease after progression during first line chemotherapy was the first discussion. Next, the benefits of liver resection in the presence of extra-hepatic disease were debated, as soon as, the best sequence of treatment. Conversion chemotherapy in the presence of unresectable liver disease was also discussed in this module. Lastly, the approach to the unresectable disease was also discussed, focusing in the best chemotherapy regimens and hole of chemo-embolization.

Abstract
PURPOSE Surgical resection of isolated hepatic or pulmonary metastases of colorectal cancer is an established procedure, with a 5-year survival rate of about 50%. However, the role of surgical resections in patients with both hepatic and pulmonary metastases is not well established. We aimed to analyze overall survival of these patients and associated factors. METHODS Data retrospectively collected from 66 patients who underwent both hepatic and pulmonary metastasectomy after colorectal cancer surgery from August 2002 through August 2013 were analyzed. In univariate analysis, the log-rank test compared patient survival between groups. P < 0.1 was considered indicative of significance. Multivariate analysis of the significance data using a Cox proportional hazard model identified factors associated with overall survival. The synchronous group (n = 57) was defined as patients who had metastasectomy within 3 months from primary colorectal cancer surgery. The remaining nine patients constituted the metachronous group. RESULTS Median follow-up was 126 months from the primary colorectal cancer surgery. The 5-year survival was 73.4%. There was no difference in overall survival between the synchronous and metachronous groups, consistent with previous studies. Distribution (involving one hemiliver or both, P = 0.010 in multivariate analysis) of liver metastases and multiplicity of the pulmonary metastasis (P = 0.039) were predictors of poor prognosis. CONCLUSION Sequential or simultaneous resection of both hepatic and pulmonary metastasis of colorectal cancer resulted in good long-term survival in selected patients. Thus, an aggressive surgical approach and multidisciplinary decision making with surgeons seems to be justified.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The resection of liver and lung metastases from colorectal cancer has not yet been completely investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the overall survival and prognostic factors for patients with liver and lung metastases from colorectal cancer. METHODS A retrospective review of a prospective database of 52 patients with liver and lung metastases from colorectal cancer, undergoing metastasectomy with curative intent from 1999-2009 at a single institution was carried out. RESULTS The mean overall survival (OS) was 64 months. For synchronous liver and lung metastases the mean overall survival was 63 months (5-year survival 54 %) and for metachronous liver and lung metastases 74 months (5-year survival 58 %, p = 0.451). A poor prognostic outcome was observed in cases of localization of the primary tumor in the rectum (OS 81 vs. 38 months, p = 0.004), with multiple lung metastases (≥ 2 metastases, OS 74 vs. 59 months, p = 0.032) and with disease progression after premetastasectomy chemotherapy (OS 74 vs. 63 vs. 15 months, p < 0.001). No influence on overall survival was detected for bilateral lung metastases, thoracic lymph node metastases, disease recurrence and disease-free interval < 36 months. CONCLUSION Metastasectomy for liver and lung metastases of colorectal cancer is associated with a good overall survival in selected cases. Patients with liver and lung metastases should not be routinely excluded from metastasectomy and patients with thoracic lymph node metastases should also not be routinely excluded. Negative prognostic factors for survival are localization of the tumor in the rectum, multiple metastases and disease progression after premetastasectomy chemotherapy. Patients with disease progression after premetastasectomy chemotherapy should be excluded from metastasectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for 9.7% of all cancers with 1.4 million new cases diagnosed each year. 19-31% of CRC patients develop colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), and 23-38% develop extra-hepatic disease (EHD). The aim of this systematic review was to determine overall survival (OS) in patients resected for CRLM and known EHD. METHODS A systematic review was undertaken to identify studies reporting OS after resection for CRLM in the presence of EHD. Proportional meta-analyses and relative risk of death before five years were assessed between patient groups. RESULTS A total of 15,144 patients with CRLM (2308 with EHD) from 52 studies were included. Three and 5-year OS were 58% and 26% for lung, 37% and 17% for peritoneum, and 35% and 15% for lymph nodes, respectively. The combined relative risk of death by five years was 1.49 (95% CI = 1.34-1.66) for lung, 1.59 (95% CI = 1.16-2.17) for peritoneal and 1.70 (95% CI = 1.57-1.84) for lymph node EHD, in favour of resection in the absence of EHD. CONCLUSION This review supports attempts at R0 resection in selected patients and rejects the notion that EHD is an absolute contraindication to resection.

Extended resection in pancreatic metastases: feasibility, frequency, and long-term outcome: a retrospective analysis. BMC Surg 2015; 15:126.

Abstract
Background Metastases to the pancreas are rare, accounting for less then 2 % of all pancreatic malignancies. However, both the benefit of extended tumor resection and the ideal oncological approach have not been established for such cases; therefore, we evaluated patients with metastasis to the pancreas who underwent pancreatic resection. Methods Between 1994 and 2012, 676 patients underwent pancreatic surgery in our institution. We retrospectively reviewed patients’ medical records according to survival, and surgical and non-surgical complications. Student’s t-test and the log-rank test were used for statistical analysis. Results Eighteen patients (2.7 %) received resection for pancreatic metastases (12 multivisceral resections and 6 standard resections). The pancreatic metastases originated from renal cell carcinoma (n = 10), malignant melanoma (n = 2), neuroendocrine tumor of the ileum (n = 1), sarcoma (n = 1), colon cancer (n = 1), gallbladder cancer (n = 1), gastrointestinal stromal tumor (n = 1), and non-small cell lung cancer (n = 1). The median time between primary malignancy resection to metastasectomy was 83 months (range, 0–228 months). Minor surgical complications (Grade I-IIIa) occurred in six patients (33.3 %) whereas major surgical complications (Grade IIIb-V) occurred in three patients (16.6 %). No patients died during hospitalization. The median follow-up was 76 months (range, 10–165 months). One-year, 3-year and 5-year survival for standard resection versus multivisceral resection was 83, 50, and 56 % versus 83, 66, and 50, respectively. Twelve patients died after a median of 26 months (range, 5–55 months). Conclusions A surgical approach with curative intent is justified in select patients suffering from metastases to the pancreas and offers good long-term survival. The resection of pancreatic metastases of different tumor types was associated with favorable morbidity and mortality when compared with resection of the primary pancreatic malignancies. Our findings also demonstrated that multivisceral resection was feasible, with acceptable long term outcomes, even though morbidity rates tended to be higher after multivisceral resection than after standard resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resection of colorectal liver or lung metastases is an established therapeutical concept at present. However, an affection of both these organs is frequently still regarded as incurable. METHODS All cancer patients are documented in our prospective cancer registry since 1995. Data of patients who underwent liver and lung resection for colorectal metastases were extracted and analysed. RESULTS Sixty-five patients underwent surgery for liver and lung metastases. In 33 cases, the first distant metastasis was diagnosed synchronously to the primary tumour. For the remaining patients, median time interval between primary tumour and first distant metastasis was 18 months (5-69 months). Complete resection was achieved in 51 patients (79 %) and was less likely in patients with synchronous disease (p = 0.017). Negative margins (p = 0.002), the absence of pulmonary involvement in synchronous metastases (p = 0.0003) and single metastases in both organs (p = 0.036) were associated with a better prognosis. Five- and 10-year survival rates for all patients are 57 and 15 % from diagnosis of the primary tumour, 37 and 14 % from resection of the first metastasis and 20 and 15 % from resection of the second metastasis. After complete resection, 5- and 10-year survival rates increased to 61 and 18 %, 43 and 17 % as well as 25 and 19 %, respectively. Long-term survivors (≥10 years) were seen only after complete resection of both metastases. CONCLUSIONS Patients with resectable liver and lung metastases of the colorectal primary should be considered for surgery after multidisciplinary evaluation regardless of the number or size of the metastases or the disease-free intervals. Clear resection margins are the strongest prognostic parameter.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to investigate the role of clinicopathologic factors as predictors of outcome after complete pulmonary resection for metastatic colorectal cancer. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing radical pulmonary resection for colorectal cancer at our institution were included in the study. Clinicopathologic variables including sex, age, site and stage of the primary tumor, disease-free interval, prior hepatic resection, timing of pulmonary metastases, preoperative chemotherapy, type of pulmonary resection, number, size, and location of pulmonary metastases, and thoracic lymph node involvement were retrospectively collected and investigated for prognostic significance. Survival curves were generated by the Kaplan-Meier technique and difference between factors were evaluated by the log-rank test. RESULTS A total of 127 patients undergoing pulmonary resection between 1997 and 2009 were included in the study. The median follow-up was 67.1 months. The median overall survival from the time of pulmonary resection was 48.9 months. The 5-year overall survival was 45.4%. Among all investigated prognostic variables, the number of pulmonary metastases (1 vs >1) was the most important factor affecting the outcome after pulmonary resection (5-year overall survival 55.4% vs 32.2%; hazard rate, 1.92; P = .006). CONCLUSIONS In this study, the presence of a single pulmonary metastasis was a favorable predictor of survival after complete pulmonary resection for metastatic colorectal cancer. All the other prognostic variables did not seem to affect survival and should not contraindicate such surgery in clinical practice. However, the study sample size does not allow us to draw any definitive conclusion, and further investigation of the role of these prognostic factors in larger series is warranted.

Abstract
Minimally invasive techniques used in the evaluation and treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs) include ultrasonography (US), computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, percutaneous and operative ablation therapy, standard laparoscopic techniques, robotic techniques, and experimental techniques of natural orifice endoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic techniques range from simple staging laparoscopy with or without laparoscopic intraoperative US, through intermediate techniques including simple liver resections (LRs), to advanced techniques such as major hepatectomies. Hereins, we review minimally invasive evaluation and treatment of CRLM, focusing on a comparison of open LR (OLR) and minimally invasive LR (MILR). Although there are no randomized trials comparing OLR and MILR, nonrandomized data suggest that MILR compares favorably with OLR regarding morbidity, mortality, LOS, and cost, although significant selection bias exists. The future of MILR will likely include expanding criteria for resectability of CRLM and should include both a patient registry and a formalized process for surgeon training and credentialing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that hepatectomy for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM) with concomitant extrahepatic disease (EHD) achieve encouraging survival result. The authors examine the clinical efficacy of this treatment approach through a systematic review of the published literature. METHODS Electronic search of the MEDLINE and PubMed databases (January 2000 to January 2011) to identify studies reporting outcomes of hepatectomy for CLM with resection of EHD was undertaken. Two reviewers independently appraised each study using a predetermined protocol. Clinical efficacy was synthesised through a narrative review with full tabulation of results of all included studies. RESULTS Twenty-two studies were examined. This comprised 1142 patients. The median disease-free survival was 12 (range, 4-22) months, median overall survival was 30 (range, 14-44) months and median 5-year survival rate was 19% (range, 0-42%). Median 5-year survival of patients with R0 hepatectomy with resection of EHD was 25% (range, 19-36%). Survival based on site of EHD include lung; median survival (M/S) was 41 (range, 32-46) months, porto-caval lymph node; M/S was 25 (range, 19-48) months, peritoneal metastases; M/S was 25 (range, 18-32) months. CONCLUSION In the era of effective systemic therapies, surgical resection of CLM and concomitant EHD in carefully selected patients may achieve survival results superior to non-surgically treated patients. This treatment strategy may be considered appropriate especially when a R0 hepatectomy and complete resection of EHD may be achieved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While several prognostic models have been developed to predict survival of patients who undergo hepatectomy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), few data exist to predict survival after recurrence. We sought to develop a model that predicts survival for patients who have developed recurrence following hepatectomy for mCRC. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on data from consecutive patients that underwent hepatectomy for mCRC. Clinicopathologic data, recurrence patterns, and outcomes were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. An integer-based model was created to predict the patterns of recurrence and survival after recurrence. RESULTS This analysis included 280 patients with a median follow-up of 50.1 months. Of these, 53% underwent major hepatectomy and 87% had negative margins. Recurrent disease developed in 63% of patients. After hepatectomy, factors associated with short disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) included CEA > 200 ng/ml (P < 0.0005), >1 metastasis (P < 0.0005), and a high Fong score (P < 0.0005). After recurrence, the pattern of recurrence was a strong predictor of OS (P < 0.0005). Independent predictors of the pattern of recurrence on multivariate analysis include CEA > 200 ng/ml, tumor size >5 cm, and >1 liver metastasis. A simple predictive scoring system was developed from the beta coefficients of this analysis that correlated with recurrence pattern (P < 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS After hepatectomy, survival of patients with recurrent mCRC is strongly predicted by the patterns of recurrence, and the recurrence pattern can be predicted with a simple model. This can also be extended to create a scoring system that estimates expected survival.
