Hepatic resection has become the treatment of choice for metastatic colorectal cancer, and this technique increases five-year survival cancer patients up to 40–58%. More recently, criteria resectability have been revised expanded include any patient in whom all deposits can be removed with a negative surgical margin sufficient residual liver parenchyma. Currently, is determined mostly by minimu...

In this study, we prepared doxorubicin (DOXO)-loaded albumin microbeads (DOXO-MBs) using a capillary microfluidic device for transarterial chemoembolization of hepatic cancer. Albumin droplets were fabricated using the capillary microfluidic device and solidified by addition of glutaraldehyde. The acquired DOXO-MBs were homogeneous and the size was adjustable from 183.2 ± 12.2 μm to 351.5 ± 7.9...

A 64-year-old female patient with adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas with encasement of the common hepatic artery and portal vein stenosis was reexplored after six cycles of gemcitabine (1000 mg/m(2)). Prior to surgery, the patient underwent balloon dilation and stenting of the portal vein in addition to successful coil embolisation of the common hepatic artery, proper hepatic artery, a...

Abstract To avoid hepatobiliary and gastric ischaemia related directly to Appleby Kondo’s procedures, a novel SCARPS procedure (Staged Celiac Artery Resection with PancreatoSplenectomy) for resection of pancreatic cancer involving celiac axis trunk is described here. A 67-year-old female biopsy proven Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) encasing common hepatic artery underwent two stage rob...
