Current Guidelines

Pancreatic cancer with synchronous liver metastasis has an extremely poor prognosis, and surgery is not recommended for such patients by the current guidelines. However, an increasing body of studies have shown that concurrent resection of pancreatic cancer and liver metastasis is not only technically feasible but also beneficial to the survival in the selected patients. In this review, we aim to summarize the short- and long-term outcomes following synchronous liver metastasectomy for pancreatic cancer patients, and discuss the potential criteria in selecting appropriate surgical candidates, which might be helpful in clinical decision-making.

Short And Long Term

Objective To compare the short- and long-term outcomes of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) versus liver resection and chemotherapy for liver metastases from gastric cancer. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 50 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy and local treatments for liver metastases (RFA, n = 20; liver resection, n = 20; and chemotherapy, n = 10) from 2008 to 2018. Results The short- and long-term outcomes of each local treatment were evaluated. The median overall survival (OS) after RFA was similar to that after liver resection (20 vs. 20 months, respectively) and longer than that after chemotherapy (20 vs. 10 months, respectively). The 3-year OS and progression-free survival (PFS) rates after RFA were 20% and 10%, respectively, while those in the liver resection group were 23.5% and 23.5%, respectively. The 3-year OS rate after chemotherapy was 10%. The size and number of metastases were prognostic factors for patients with gastric cancer with liver metastasis without statistical significance. Conclusions Among patients with liver metastasis from gastric cancer, OS and PFS were satisfactory and comparable between RFA and liver resection but better than those of chemotherapy. RFA is an appropriate option for patients with gastric cancer who have a solitary liver metastasis measuring ≤3.0 cm.

Short And Long Term

Older adults constitute the majority of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and are increasing in both absolute and relative numbers. Critical care for elderly people should be tailored to their unique physiology, susceptibilities to complications, social circumstances, values, and goals for their care. Knowledge of the short and long-term outcomes of critical illness should guide therapy and goals of care. With a growing number of elderly ICU survivors, the functional, cognitive, and psychological consequences of critical illness and ICU exposure will become a more prominent problem to address. In this chapter, we will discuss morbidity and mortality of elderly ICU patients, provide an evidence-based bundle for the management of pain, agitation, and delirium that has been developed with the vulnerabilities of older patients in mind (though it is also being applied broadly to younger patients as well), and explore the long-term physical, cognitive, and psychological consequences that ICU survivors face.
