Article Synopsis
- Scientists wanted to create a clear definition for what "Textbook Outcome in Liver Surgery" (TOLS) means, which shows the best possible results after liver surgery.
- They used a method called the Delphi process, where expert liver surgeons answered surveys, and they agreed on the definition only if 80% of them agreed on it.
- The final definition includes things like no serious incidents during surgery, no major problems after surgery, and a good recovery without re-hospitalization.
Objective: To establish consensus recommendations for the use of fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) in hepatobiliary surgery.
Background: ICG fluorescence imaging has gained popularity in hepatobiliary surgery in recent years. However, there is varied evidence on the use, dosage, and timing of administration of ICG in clinical practice.
Purpose Selective internal radiation therapy or radioembolization (RE) shows efficacy in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) limited to the liver. This study compared the safety and efficacy of RE and sorafenib in patients with locally advanced HCC. Patients and Methods SIRveNIB (selective internal radiation therapy v sorafenib), an open-label, investigator-initiated, phase III trial, compared yttrium-90 (Y) resin microspheres RE with sorafenib 800 mg/d in patients with locally advanced HCC in a two-tailed study designed for superiority/detriment.
