Biliopancreatic tumors that are potentially amenable to local resection include proximal bile duct tumors (Klatskin tumors), mid-choledochal duct tumors and tumors arising from the papilla of Vater. This paper reviews our experience in the AMC, with local resection of these conditions. From 1983-1997, 112 patients underwent surgical resection of a carcinoma of the hepatic duct confluence (Klats...

Background: In the past 20 years, a dramatic improvement in the prognosis of patients with hepatoblastoma (HB)has been achieved by combining surgery and chemotherapy in several national and international trials.Materials and Methods: Four children ( 3 girl and 1 boy) aged 34 days, 4 months, 13 months, and 1 year with meanage of 6.53 (±5.15) months were presented to our center from 2002 to 2009 ...

Standard therapy for glioblastoma (GBM) includes maximal surgical resection and radiation therapy. While it is established that radiation therapy provides the greatest survival benefit of standard treatment modalities, the impact of the extent of surgical resection (EOR) on patient outcome remains highly controversial. While some studies describe no correlation between EOR and patient survival ...

OBJECTIVE Using microsurgical procedures without intraoperative imaging, Gross Total Resection (GTR) has so far only been achieved in less than 30% of all cases. Radio-guided surgery was introduced in the clinical setting in 1985 in an attempt to facilitate intraoperative tumor detection. Because of few studies in literature about this subject, we decided to use gamma probe with the hypothesis ...
