Effect of radiation therapy on lymph node fluorescence in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma after intravenous injection of indocyanine green: a prospective evaluation Open
Background Indocyanine green (ICG)-guided surgery has proven effective in the identification of neoplastic tissues. The effect of radiation therapy (RT) on lymph node fluorescence after intravenous injection of ICG has not been addressed y…

Transcriptomic characterization of the histopathological growth patterns in breast cancer liver metastases Open
Metastatic breast cancer (mBC) remains incurable and liver metastases (LM) are observed in approximately 50% of all patients with mBC. In some cases, surgical resection of breast cancer liver metastases (BCLM) could be associated with prol…

Histopathological growth pattern of liver metastases as an independent marker of metastatic behavior in different primary cancers Open
Surgical resection can lead to prolonged survival in patients with isolated liver metastases (LM) from various primary cancers. However, there are currently no validated predictive markers to discriminate between these oligo/argometastatic…

Prognostic value of preoperative serological biomarkers in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer peritoneal metastases Open
Objectives Peritoneal metastases of ovarian cancer (PMOC) are common at initial presentation. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) of curative intent has been proven to be efficient in increasing the overall survival (OS) and the disease-free survi…

The Prognostic Value of Distinct Histological Growth Patterns of Colorectal Peritoneal Metastases: A Pilot Study Open
Background Different histological growth patterns (HGP) describing the tumor-to-liver interface have been described in colorectal liver metastases and have been associated with a strong prognostic value. However, HGP of peritoneal metastas…
View article: The efficacy of the American College of Surgeons Surgical Risk Calculator in the prediction of postoperative complications in oncogeriatric patients after curative surgery for abdominal tumors
The efficacy of the American College of Surgeons Surgical Risk Calculator in the prediction of postoperative complications in oncogeriatric patients after curative surgery for abdominal tumors Open
Background The American College of Surgeons (ACS) has developed a Surgical Risk Calculator (SRC) to predict postoperative surgical complications. No studies have reported the performance of the ACS‐SRC in oncogeriatric patients. Our object…
View article: Histopathological growth patterns of liver metastasis: updated consensus guidelines for pattern scoring, perspectives, and recent mechanistic insights
Histopathological growth patterns of liver metastasis: updated consensus guidelines for pattern scoring, perspectives, and recent mechanistic insights Open
The first consensus guidelines for scoring the histopathological growth patterns (HGPs) of liver metastases were established in 2017. Since then, numerous studies have applied these guidelines, have further substantiated the potential clin…
View article: Evaluation of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) tool as a predictor of postoperative complications following major oncological abdominal surgery in geriatric patients
Evaluation of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) tool as a predictor of postoperative complications following major oncological abdominal surgery in geriatric patients Open
Introduction The concept of frailty extends beyond chronological age. Identifying frailty using a two-step approach, starting with the use of a screening tool (G8) followed by comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), may be useful in guid…

Prioritization of Surgery in Cancer Patients During the COVID-19 Pandemic Open
The prioritization of surgical oncology over other elective interventions during COVID-19 has failed to preserve the quality of care in oncology and will likely lead to an increase of cancer-related mortality in the coming years. We propos…

Evaluation of The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) Tool As A Predictor of Postoperative Complications Following Major Oncological Abdominal Surgery in Older Patients Open
Purpose: The concept of frailty extends beyond chronological age. Identifying frailty using a two-step approach, starting with the use of a screening tool (G8) followed by complete geriatric assessment (CGA), may be useful for guiding trea…

The histological growth pattern and the clinico-metabolic characteristics accurately predict the outcome in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal liver metastases - Belgian Group for Digestive Oncology (BGDO) Open
Introduction: Selection for surgery in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) remains poorly personalized.We evaluated whether the combination of clinico-metabolic characteristics with the histological growth pattern (HGP) of CRL…

Association between the histopathological growth patterns of liver metastases and survival after hepatic surgery in breast cancer patients Open
Currently, there are no markers to identify patients with liver-only or liver-dominant metastases that would benefit from hepatic surgery. Here we characterized histopathological growth patterns (HGPs) of liver metastases in a consecutive …
