Feasibility and safety of minimally invasive multivisceral resection for T4b rectal cancer: A 9-year review. World J. Gastrointest. Surg. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-4-5 Kai Siang Chan, Biquan Liu, Ming Ngan Aloysius Tan, Kwang Yeong How, Kar Yong Wong
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and the second highest cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. About 5%-10% of patients are diagnosed with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) on presentation. For LARC invading into other structures (i.e. T4b), multivisceral resection (MVR) and/or pelvic exenteration (PE) remains the only potential curative surgical treatment. MVR and/or PE

Immune function status of postoperative patients with colon cancer for predicting liver metastasis. World J. Gastrointest. Surg. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-3-11 Le Xiong, Fang-Chen Liu
Colon cancer (CC) has a high incidence rate. Radical resection is the main treatment method for CC; however, liver metastasis (LM) often occurs post-surgery. The liver contains both innate and adaptive immune cells that monitor and remove abnormal cells and pathogens. Before LM, tumor cells secrete cytokines and exosomes to adjust the immune microenvironment of the liver, thus forming an inhibitory

Preoperative blood markers and intra-abdominal infection after colorectal cancer resection. World J. Gastrointest. Surg. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-3-11 Chang-Qing Liu, Zhong-Bei Yu, Jin-Xian Gan, Tian-Ming Mei
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has one of the highest morbidity and mortality rates among digestive tract tumors. Intra-abdominal infection (IAI) is a common postoperative complication that affects the clinical outcomes of patients with CRC and hinders their rehabilitation process. However, the factors influencing abdominal infection after CRC surgery remain unclear; further, prediction models are rarely

Comparative effectiveness of several adjuvant therapies after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma patients with microvascular invasion. World J. Gastrointest. Surg. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-3-11 Yin-Xuan Pei, Chen-Guang Su, Zheng Liao, Wei-Wei Li, Zi-Xiang Wang, Jin-Long Liu
For resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), radical hepatectomy is commonly used as a curative treatment. However, postoperative recurrence significantly diminishes the overall survival (OS) of HCC patients, especially with microvascular invasion (MVI) as an independent high-risk factor for recurrence. While some studies suggest that postoperative adjuvant therapy may decrease the risk of recurrence

Prognostic impact of preoperative nutritional and immune inflammatory parameters on liver cancer. World J. Gastrointest. Surg. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-3-11 Sung Uk Bae
The immune response to tissue damage or infection involves inflammation, a multifaceted biological process distinguished by immune cell activation, mediator secretion, and immune cell recruitment to the site of injury. Several blood-based immune-inflammatory biomarkers with prognostic significance in malignancies have been identified. In this issue of the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery,

Efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts in treating cirrhotic esophageal-gastric variceal bleeding. World J. Gastrointest. Surg. (IF 2.0) Pub Date : 2024-3-11 Xiao-Gang Hu, Jian-Ji Dai, Jun Lu, Gang Li, Jia-Min Wang, Yi Deng, Rui Feng, Kai-Ping Lu
Esophageal-gastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) represents a severe complication among patients with cirrhosis and often culminates in fatal outcomes. Interventional therapy, a rapidly developing treatment modality over the past few years, has found widespread application in clinical practice due to its minimally invasive characteristics. However, whether transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)
