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

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the short- and long-term outcomes of liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in elderly patients. Methods: A PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library search was performed from January 1995 to April 2017, for studies comparing both short- and long-term outcomes in younger and elderly patients undergoing liver resection for CRLM. Results: Eleven studies comparing patients aged <70 years with patients aged >70 years and 4 studies comparing patients aged <75 years with patients aged >75 years were included. Postoperative morbidity was similar in patients aged >70 years (27 vs. 30%; p = 0.35) but higher in patients aged >75 years (21 vs. 32%; p = 0.001). Postoperative mortality was higher in both patients aged >70 years (2 vs. 4%; p = 0.01) and in patients aged >75 years (1 vs. 6%; p = 0.02). Mean 5-year overall survival was lower in patients aged >70 years (40 vs. 32%; p < 0.001) but equal in patients aged >75 years (42 vs. 32%; p = 0.06). Conclusion: Although postoperative morbidity and mortality were increased with higher age, liver resection for CRLM seems justified in selected elderly patients.

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.

The Impact

Background. Although mortality and morbidity of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) have improved significantly over the past years, the impact of age for patients undergoing PD is still debated. This study is aimed at analyzing short- and long-term outcomes of PD in elderly patients. Methods. 124 consecutive patients who have undergone PD for pancreas neoplasms in our center between 2012 and 2017 were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: group I (<75 years) and group II (≥75 years). Demographic features and intraoperative and clinical-pathological data were collected. Primary endpoints were perioperative morbidity and mortality; complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo Score. Secondary endpoints included feasibility of adjuvant treatment and overall survival rates. Results. A total of 106 patients were included in this study. There were 73 (68.9%) patients in group I and 33 (31.1%) in group II. Perioperative deceases were 4 (3.6%), and postoperative pancreatic fistulas were 34 (32.1%). Significant difference between two groups was demonstrated for the ASA Score (p=0.004), Karnofsky Score (p=0.025), preoperative jaundice (p=0.004), and pulmonary complications (p=0.034). No significance was shown for diabetes, radicality of resection, stage of disease, operative time, length of stay, postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo Score, postoperative mortality, pancreatic fistula, and reoperation rates. 69.9% of the patients in group I underwent adjuvant treatment vs. 39.4% of the older ones (p=0.012). Mean overall survival was 28.5 months in group I vs. 22 months in group II (p=0.909). Conclusion. PD can be performed safely in elderly patients. Advanced age should not be an absolute contraindication for PD, even if greater frailty should be considered. The outcome of elderly patients who have undergone PD is similar to that of younger patients, even though adjuvant treatment administration is significantly lower, demonstrating that surgery remains the main therapeutic option.
