Long term outcome after liver resection for giant HCC larger than 10 cm<br />

P. Allemann, A. Tempia, N. Demart<strong>in</strong>es, N. Halkic (Lausanne)<br />

Objective: The outcome of both liver transplantation and <strong>in</strong>terventional radiology as treatments for<br />

Hepatocellular Carc<strong>in</strong>omas (HCC) is improved and validated. However, these therapeutic options rema<strong>in</strong>s<br />

limited for tumors larger than 10cm and those patients are seen with an <strong>in</strong>creased frequency<br />

<strong>in</strong> Hepatobiliary consultations to discuss resection. Currently, few data are available on long-term outcome<br />

after liver resection for giant HCC and the management of such tumors rema<strong>in</strong>s controversial.<br />

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term survival and the time to recurrence after<br />

liver resection for giant HCC.<br />

Methods: From January 1995 to December 2009, 145 consecutive patients underwent liver resection<br />

for HCC <strong>in</strong> our department. A retrospective analysis of our prospective database was performed on all<br />

HCCs larger than 10cm, confirmed by anatomopathology. A total of 25 patients fulfilled this criteria<br />

and were <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the study. Three patients were excluded: two due to mixed pathological pattern<br />

(HCC and cholangiocarc<strong>in</strong>oma) and one due to <strong>in</strong>complete data. A total of 22 patients were <strong>in</strong>cluded<br />

<strong>in</strong> the f<strong>in</strong>al analysis.<br />

Results: The median age was 72 years (range 36-88) and the men:women ratio was 8:3. Cirrhosis<br />

was present <strong>in</strong> 41% of the patients (four Hepatitis B Virus, two Hepatitis C Virus and three alcoholic<br />

cirrhosis), all <strong>in</strong> CHILD A stage. A biopsy was performed <strong>in</strong> 27%, with a sensitivity of 83%. Preoperative<br />

treatments were conducted <strong>in</strong> 45% (five portal embolisation and five arterial chemo-embolisation).<br />

The median tumor size was 13cm (range 10-21). A median of four liver segments (range 1-6) were<br />

resected (82% of major resection) with a median operative time of 212 m<strong>in</strong>utes (range 115-480). A R0<br />

resection was achieved <strong>in</strong> 100% of patients. The <strong>in</strong>-hospital mortality at 30 days was 0% and the morbidity<br />

rate was 18%. The median follow-up was 57 month (range 2-187). Recurrence was observed <strong>in</strong><br />

10 patients (45%) at a median time of 15 month (range 6-34). Of these patients, two were treated with<br />

<strong>in</strong>terventional radiology and two were re-operated. At the time of the analysis, 65% of patients were<br />

alive, free of disease. The 5-years survival was 45% and the 10-years survival was 18%.<br />

Conclusion: Our limited serie suggest that liver resection may achieve good long-term survival and<br />

disease-free survival <strong>in</strong> patients with giant HCC larger than 10cm.<br />

Early octreotide therapy significantly mitigates the severity of postoperative pancreatic fistula<br />

Objective: A number of prospective randomized trials <strong>in</strong>dicate that prophylactic octreotide treatment<br />

does not decrease the <strong>in</strong>cidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF, def<strong>in</strong>ed accord<strong>in</strong>g to ISGPF<br />

criteria). We here study if early postoperative octreotide treatment (with<strong>in</strong> the first 3 postoperative days)<br />

decreases the severity of POPF <strong>in</strong> develop<strong>in</strong>g fistula (def<strong>in</strong>ed as high lipase output on postoperative<br />

day 3).<br />

Methods: Between 2001 and 2008, 95 out of 684 patients undergo<strong>in</strong>g pancreatic resection developed<br />

a POPF. In 33 patients fistula treatment was attempted with octreotide (300μg/d). Lipase activity <strong>in</strong> the<br />

pancreatic dra<strong>in</strong>age was measured before start of treatment as well as on postoperative day 3, 5 and<br />

7. Also lipase activity <strong>in</strong> the pancreatic dra<strong>in</strong>age was measured <strong>in</strong> patients with a pancreatic fistula not<br />

receiv<strong>in</strong>g octreotide. For analysis lipase activity at POD5 and POD7 was normalized to POD3.<br />

Results: [Lipase]POD5/[Lipase]POD3 on POD 5 was 0.91 ± 0.17 for the octreotide group versus 0.97<br />

± 0.15 for the control group. On POD7, [Lipase]POD7/[Lipase]POD3 was 0.54 ± 0.07 <strong>in</strong> the octreotide<br />

group and 0.95 ± 0.16 (p
