Article Synopsis
- Primary liver cancers, like HCC, ICC, and cHCC-CCA, are major causes of cancer-related deaths, and distinguishing between these types can be challenging due to their similar features.
- This study analyzed 140 patients who had liver tumor resections, reclassifying tumors and comparing the clinicopathological characteristics and survival rates of HCC, ICC, and cHCC-CCA.
- The results showed that most patients had HCC, with worse overall survival and disease-free survival for ICC and cHCC-CCA, highlighting the need for careful evaluation to identify cholangiolar components, which signal a poorer prognosis.
Introduction: Gastric gastrointestinal tumors (GIST) are a rare and usually asymptomatic neoplasm that can present as abdominal mass in more advanced scenarios. Since surgical resection is the main aspect of the treatment, locally advanced tumors require multivisceral resection and, therefore, higher postoperative morbidity and mortality.
Objective: To perform a review the literature on the topic, with emphasis on the neoadjuvant therapy.
