Parenchyma-sparing strategy and oncological prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases.

BACKGROUND: Preliminary study results demonstrated parenchyma-sparing surgery (PSS) as an effective approach which allowed to remove colorectal cancer (CRC) metastatic lesions within the central liver cites and increased the probability of the liver re-resections. METHODS: The prospective analysis re-evaluation of the 185 CRC patients surgical treatment has been performed. RESULTS: An overall 5-year survival (OS) of the 185 enrolled patients was 43 ± 7%, and the mean and median value for OS was 48.7 ± 1.9% and 55.2 ± 5 (95% CI: 44.4-66.1) months. The 5-year OS for CRC patients whose metastatic lesions were predominantly located within peripheral and central liver segments was 56 ± 8% and 27 ± 9%, respectively (p = 0.08). A 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates of patients with peripheral and central liver cites metastatic lesions were 31 ± 7 % and 15 ± 7%, p = 0,12. And the DFS median was 34.2 and 46.5 months for R1v and R0 cohorts, respectively, p = 0.62. CONCLUSIONS: Parenchyma-sparing surgery should be a priority pathway for complex treatment of patients with deeply located lesions of the right liver lobe.

BILATERAL AVASCULAR NECROSIS OF SACRAL LATERAL MASSES AFTER A COMPLETE RADIOLOGICAL RESPONSE OF LOCALLY ADVANCED RECTAL CANCER TREATED WITH NEOADJUVANT CHEMORADIATION THERAPY.

We present a rare case report of a bilateral avascular necrosis of lateral sacral masses in a patient who developed a sustainable complete clinical and radiological response after chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer. It is shown that despite the standardized and precise planning and fractioning for neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer, the biological effects of ionizing radiation on critical organs can be va- ried both in time of occurrence and in structure. Evaluating the effect of neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy, one should take into account the possibility of the development of even very rare effects of ionizing radiation on criti- cal organs and include their early detection in the diagnostic algorithm.

[Modern methods of perforative duodenal ulcer treatment].

The results of treatment of 150 patients, suffering gastroduodenal perforative ulcer, using laparoscopic method, were studied. Depending on the operations volume, they must be divided on palliative, conditionally radical and radical. The operation volume choice has depended on the patient age, the ulcer disease duration and the course character, as well as the conservative therapy efficacy. Laparoscopic interventions were performed in 138 (92%) patients and laparoscopically-associated--in 12 (8%). Complications in the early postoperative period have had occurred in 4 (2.7%) patients. Postoperative recurrence of ulcer was revealed during three years in 14 (9.3%) patients.
