Clinical and pathological features of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the biliary tract and gallbladder
ConclusionIPNB/ICPN are rare precursor lesions that can affect the entire biliary epithelium. At pathology, the majority of patients have invasive carcinoma, thus warranting a radical resection. Patients with tumours expressing MUC1 appear to have worse OS and DFSs. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

The impact of portal pedicle clamping on survival from colorectal liver metastases in the contemporary era of liver resection: a matched cohort study
ConclusionsPPC was not associated with a significant difference in OS or RFS in a hepatectomy for CRLM. PPC remains a safe technique during hepatectomy. (Source: HPB: official journal of the International Hepato Pancreat Biliary Association)

Disparities in care for patients with curable hepatocellular carcinoma
ConclusionFewer than half of patients with curable HCC receive surgery, possibly as a result of multiple socioeconomic variables. Past these barriers to care, survival is related to adequate and reliable treatment. Further efforts should address these disparities in treatment decisions.

Pre‐treatment carbohydrate antigen 19‐9 does not predict the response to neoadjuvant therapy in patients with localized pancreatic cancer
ConclusionsAmong patients who completed neoadjuvant therapy and surgery, pre‐treatment CA19‐9 obtained at the time of diagnosis was not predictive of overall survival, but normalization of post‐treatment CA19‐9 in response to neoadjuvant therapy was highly prognostic.

Evaluating surgeon attitudes towards the safety and efficacy of portal vein occlusion and associating liver partition and portal vein ligation: a report of the MALINSA survey
ConclusionsThere exists significant variability in utilization of and attitudes towards the available techniques for FLR volume augmentation. Penetration of best practice techniques for PVE is lacking, and may be contributing towards disappointment with PVE efficacy, potentially motivating the utilization of the riskier ALPPS procedure.

Disappearing liver metastases from colorectal cancer: impact of modern imaging modalities
ConclusionA majority of DLM are identified during surgery using intra‐operative ultrasound, with only little additional value of CE‐IOUS. The sensitivities of post‐chemotherapy imaging modalities for small metastases are low in the setting of DLM. For surgical planning, an optimized pre‐chemotherapy imaging is essential.

Malignant biliary strictures in patients with a normal bilirubin and/or normal liver enzymes
ConclusionsThis study has shown that patients with a putative biliary stricture and completely normal LFTs are unlikely to have a primary HPB malignancy. Those presenting with a normal bilirubin level, but deranged liver enzymes (ALP and/or ALT), are more likely to have malignant disease, and this should necessitate a higher degree of clinical suspicion.
