  • Here, we discuss the assessment of neuroendocrine liver metastases as pertains to the surgical armamentarium and clinical results attainable with such approaches. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Computer-assisted stereotactic navigation is particularly interesting in the setting of very small or invisible "vanishing" lesions (targeting accuracy), very large lesions requiring multiple needle placements in order to achieve complete ablation, or difficult-to-reach or treat lesions (close proximity to major vessels/bile ducts, liver dome, segment I lesions).

  • Ablation can be performed to control the inoperable metastases in the liver. (hickeysolution.com)
  • In 2020, there was strongly DPET-avid metastases in mesenteric nodes and liver, so he was enrolled onto the COMPETE trial1. (endocrine-abstracts.org)

  • Liver transplantation is the 2nd most common type of solid organ transplantation. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Annually, more than 500 transplants in the US come from living donors, who can live without their right lobe (in adult-to-adult transplantation) or the lateral segment of their left lobe (in adult-to-child transplantation). (msdmanuals.com)
  • Advantages of living donation for the recipient include shorter waiting times and shorter cold ischemic times for explanted organs, largely because transplantation can be scheduled to optimize the patient's condition. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Disadvantages to the donor include mortality risk of 1/600 to 700 (compared with 1/3300 in living-donor kidney transplantation) and complications (eg, bile leakage, bleeding) in up to one fourth. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Ocular melanoma is unique in that it almost always metastasizes only to the liver, which in turn is the most common reason for patient death, as so few treatment options are available. (diagnosticimaging.com)

  • A few livers come from deceased, non-heart-beating donors (called donation-after-cardiac-death [DCD] donors), but in such cases, bile duct complications develop in up to one third of recipients because the liver had been damaged by ischemia before donation. (msdmanuals.com)
