| 1 | A review on radiofrequency,microwave and high-intensity focused ultrasound ablations for hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis显示文摘Importance:Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is usually accompanied by liver cirrhosis,which makes treatment of this disease challenging.Liver transplantation theoretically provides an ultimate solution to the disease,but the maximal surgical stress and the scarcity of liver graft make this treatment option impossible for some patients.In an ideal situation,a treatment that is safe and effective should provide a better outcome for patients with the dilemma.Objective:This article aims to give a comprehensive review of various types of loco-ablative treatment for HCC.Evidence Review:Loco-ablative treatment bridges the gap between surgical resection and transarterial chemotherapy.Various types of ablative therapy have their unique ability,and evidence-based outcome analysis is the most important key to assisting clinicians to choose the most suitable treatment modality for their patients.Findings:Radiofrequency ablation(RFA)has a relatively longer history and more evidence to support its effectiveness.Microwave ablation(MWA)is gaining momentum because of its shorter ablation time and consistent ablation zone.High-intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)ablation is a relatively new technology that provides non-invasive treatment for patients with HCC.It has been carried out at centers of excellence and it is a safe and effective treatment option for selected patients with HCC and liver cirrhosis.Conclusion and Relevance:Selective use of different loco-ablative therapies will enhance clinicians’treatment options for treatment of HCC. | Tan To Cheung Ka Wing Ma Wong Hoi She | 2021 | Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2021,10,2: | 6 |
| 2 | Importance of surgical margin in the outcomes of hepatocholangiocarcinoma显示文摘AIM To evaluate the significance of resection margin width in the management of hepatocholangiocarcinoma(HCC-CC).METHODS Data of consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy for hepatic malignancies in the period from1995 to 2014 were reviewed.Patients with pathologically confirmed HCC-CC were included for analysis.Demographic,biochemical,operative and pathological data were analyzed against survival outcomes. RESULTSForty-two patients were included for analysis.The median age was 53.5 years.There were 29 males.Hepatitis B virus was identified in 73.8%of the patients.Most patients had preserved liver function.The median preoperative indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min was 10.2%.The median tumor size was 6.5 cm.Major hepatectomy was required in over 70%of the patients.Hepaticojejunostomy was performed in 6 patients.No hospital death occurred.The median hospital stay was 13 d.The median follow-up period was 32 mo.The 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival were 23.6%and 35.4%respectively.Multifocality was the only independent factor associated with diseasefree survival[P<0.001,odds ratio 4,95%confidence interval(CI):1.9-8.0].In patients with multifocal tumor(n=20),resection margin of≥1 cm was associated with improved 1-year disease-free survival(40%vs 0%;log-rank,P=0.012).CONCLUSIONHCC-CC is a rare disease with poor prognosis.Resection margin of 1 cm or above was associated with improved survival outcome in patients with multifocal HCC-CC. | Ka Wing Ma Kenneth Siu Ho Chok | 2017 | World Journal of Hepatology2017,9,13: | 5 |
| 3 | Impact of small-for-size liver grafts on medium-term and long-term graft survival in living donor liver transplantation: A meta-analysis显示文摘BACKGROUND Small-for-size grafts (SFSGs) in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) could optimize donor postoperative outcomes and also expand the potential donor pool. Evidence on whether SFSGs would affect medium-term and long-term recipient graft survival is lacking. AIM To evaluate the impact of small-for-size liver grafts on medium-term and longterm graft survival in adult to adult LDLT. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed by searching eligible studies published before January 24, 2019 on PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases. The primary outcomes were 3-year and 5-year graft survival. Incidence of small-for-size syndrome and short term mortality were also extracted. RESULTS This meta-analysis is reported according to the guidelines of the PRISMA 2009 Statement. Seven retrospective observational studies with a total of 1821 LDLT recipients were included in the meta-analysis. SFSG is associated with significantly poorer medium-term graft survival. The pooled odds ratio for 3-year graft survival was 1.58 [95% confidence interval 1.10-2.29, P = 0.014]. On the other hand, pooled results of the studies showed that SFSG had no significant discriminatory effect on 5-year graft survival with an odds ratio of 1.31 (95% confidence interval 0.87-1.97, P = 0.199). Furthermore, incidence of small-for-size syndrome detected in recipients of SFSG ranged from 0-11.4% in the included studies. CONCLUSION SFSG is associated with inferior medium-term but not long-term graft survival. Comparable long-term graft survival based on liver graft size shows that smaller grafts could be accepted for LDLT with appropriate flow modulatory measures. Close follow-up for graft function is warranted within 3 years after liver transplantation. | Ka Wing Ma Kelly Hiu Ching Wong Albert Chi Yan Chan Tan To Cheung Wing Chiu Dai James Yan Yue Fung Wong Hoi She Chung Mau Lo Kenneth Siu Ho Chok | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,36: | 3 |
| 4 | Pandemic of the aging society—sporadic cerebral small vessel disease显示文摘Age-related sporadic cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)has gained increasing attention over the past decades because of its increasing prevalence associated with an aging population.The widespread application of and advances in brain magnetic resonance imaging in recent decades have significantly increased researchers’understanding in the in vivo evolution of CSVD,its impact upon the brain,its risk factors,and the mechanisms that explain the various clinical manifestation associated with sporadic CSVD.In this review,we aimed to provide an update on the pathophysiology,risk factors,biomarkers,and the determinants and spectrum of the clinical manifestation of sporadic CSVD. | Alexander Yuk Lun Lau Bonaventure Yiu Ming Ip Ho Ko Bonnie Yin Ka Lam Lin Shi Karen Ka Yan Ma Lisa Wing Chi Au Yannie Oi Yan Soo Thomas Wai Hong Leung Adrian Wong Vincent Chung Tong Mok | 2021 | Chinese Medical Journal2021,,2: | 3 |
| 5 | Role of C11-FDG dual-tracer PET-CT scan in metastatic screening of hepatocellular carcinoma-a cost-effectiveness analysis显示文摘Background:We aimed to identify predictive factors for positron emission tomography(PET)-detected hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)metastasis and a cost-effective approach to preoperative PET-computed tomography(CT)for detecting metastasis.Methods:Clinicopathological and survival data of HCC patients having PET-CT with 18F-fludeoxyglucose(FDG)and 11C-acetate(ACT)following contrast-enhanced CT/magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)for preoperative tumor staging were reviewed.Binary logistic regression was performed to identify predictive factors for PET-detected metastasis.A cost-benefit analysis model was built for the incurred costs and the impact of PET-CT findings on treatment strategy was studied.Results:Totally 152 patients were analyzed.Dual-tracer PET-CT detected metastasis in 17 patients(11%).By multivariate analysis,alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)≥400 ng/mL[relative risk(RR):4.30,95%confidence interval(CI):1.41-13.15,P=0.011]and bilobar disease(RR:3.94,95%CI:1.24-12.52,P=0.014)were independent predictive factors for PET-detected metastasis.PET-CT findings altered the treatment strategy for 12 patients(7.9%);three partial hepatectomies,eight episodes of transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)and one episode of ablation were avoided,with an estimated cost-saving of US$91,000,$150,000 and$10,600 respectively.Had the PET-CT been performed only for patients with AFP≥400 ng/mL or bilobar disease(n=74),metastasis would have been confirmed in 14 patients(18.9%),and the cost-saving per patient was estimated at US$1,070.Conclusions:Dual-tracer PET-CT is cost-effective and useful for preoperative HCC staging in patients with AFP≥400 ng/mL or bilobar disease.Its routine use in preoperative workup for all HCC patients is not recommended.Unilobar disease with AFP<400 ng/mL can achieve good negative predictive value for PET-detected metastasis.Screening patients with either factor can avoid unnecessary procedures and is thus cost-effective for preoperative HCC workup. | Kevin K.W.Chu Albert C.Y.Chan Ka Wing Ma Wong Hoi She Wing Chiu Dai Kenneth S.H.Chok Tan To Cheung Chung Mau Lo | 2021 | Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2021,10,3: | 2 |
| 6 | Liver transplantation:would it be the best and last chance of cure for hepatocellular carcinoma with major venous invasion?显示文摘Background:Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)with portal vein tumour thrombus(PVTT)signifies advanced disease,whether LT confers any survival superiority over resection remains uncertain.Methods:A propensity score matched(PSM)analysis of liver transplantation(LT)and liver resection(LR)for HCC with PVTT was performed.Results:A consecutive series of 88 patients who received either LT(10 DDLTs and 3 LDLTs)or LR(n=75)respectively were recruited.Before PSM,the LT group has a higher MELD score(17.3 vs.7.8,P<0.001),lower serum AFP levels(96 vs.2,164 ng/mL,P=0.017)and smaller tumour size(4 vs.10 cm,P<0.001).The 5-year overall survival for LT and LR were 55.4%and 15.9%respectively(P=0.007).After matching for serum AFP levels and tumour size,1-,3-and 5-year overall survival for LT were 81 ng/mL,3.9 cm,80%,70%and 70%and the corresponding rates for LR were 1,417 ng/mL,5.3 cm,51.8%,19,6%and 9.8%(P value=0.12,0.27 and 0.009 respectively).Conclusions:LT is associated with significantly better oncological outcomes in HCC patients with PVTT involving the lobar or segmental level.A modest expansion of selection criteria to include small HCC with segmental PVTT should be considered. | Ka Wing Ma Albert Chi Yan Chan Kenneth Siu Ho Chok Wong Hoi She Tan To Cheung Wing Chiu Dai James Yan Yue Fung Chung Mau Lo | 2021 | Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2021,10,3: | 2 |
| 7 | Validated model for prediction of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation in Asian population显示文摘BACKGROUND Liver transplantation(LT) is regarded as the best treatment for both primary and recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Post-transplant HCC recurrence rate is relatively low but significant, ranging from 10%-30% according to different series. When recurrence happens, it is usually extrahepatic and associated with poor prognosis. A predictive model that allows patient stratification according to recurrence risk can help to individualize post-transplant surveillance protocol and guidance of the use of anti-tumor immunosuppressive agents.AIM To develop a scoring system to predict HCC recurrence after LT in an Asian population.METHODS Consecutive patients having LT for HCC from 1995 to 2016 at our hospital were recruited. They were randomized into the training set and the validation set in a60:40 ratio. Multivariable Cox regression model was used to identity factors associated with HCC recurrence. A risk score was assigned to each factor according to the odds ratio. Accuracy of the score was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.RESULTS In total, 330 patients were eligible for analysis(183 in training and 147 invalidation). Recurrent HCC developed in 14.2% of them. The median follow-up duration was 65.6 mo. The 5-year disease-free and overall survival rates were78% and 80%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, alpha-fetoprotein > 400 ng/mL [P = 0.012, hazard ratio(HR) 2.92], sum of maximum tumor size and number(P = 0.013, HR 1.15), and salvage LT(P = 0.033, HR 2.08) were found to be independent factors for disease-free survival. A risk score was calculated for each patient with good discriminatory power(c-stat 0.748 and 0.85, respectively,in the training and validation sets). With the derived scores, patients were classified into low-(0–9), moderate-(> 9–14), and high-risk groups(> 14), and the risk of HCC recurrence in the training and validation sets was 10%, 20%, 54%(cstat 0.67) and 4%, 22%, 62%(c-stat 0.811), accordingly. The risk stratification model was validated with chi-squared goodness-of-fit test(P = 0.425).CONCLUSION A validated predictive model featuring alpha-fetoprotein, salvage LT, and the sum of largest tumor diameter and total number of tumor nodule provides simple and reliable guidance for individualizing postoperative surveillance strategy. | Ka Wing Ma Wong Hoi She Albert Chi Yan Chan Tan To Cheung James Yan Yue Fung Wing Chiu Dai Chung Mau Lo Kenneth Siu Ho Chok | 2019 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2019,11,4: | 2 |

| 11 | A machine learning model for colorectal liver metastasis post-hepatectomy prognostications显示文摘Background:Currently,surgical resection is the mainstay for colorectal liver metastases(CRLM)management and the only potentially curative treatment modality.Prognostication tools can support patient selection for surgical resection to maximize therapeutic benefit.This study aimed to develop a survival prediction model using machine learning based on a multicenter patient sample in Hong Kong.Methods:Patients who underwent hepatectomy for CRLM between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2018 in four hospitals in Hong Kong were included in the study.Survival analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazards(CPH).A stepwise selection on Cox multivariable models with Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator(LASSO)regression was applied to a multiply-imputed dataset to build a prediction model.The model was validated in the validation set,and its performance was compared with that of Fong Clinical Risk Score(CRS)using concordance index.Results:A total of 572 patients were included with a median follow-up of 3.6 years.The full models for overall survival(OS)and recurrence-free survival(RFS)consist of the same 8 established and novel variables,namely colorectal cancer nodal stage,CRLM neoadjuvant treatment,Charlson Comorbidity Score,pre-hepatectomy bilirubin and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)levels,CRLM largest tumor diameter,extrahepatic metastasis detected on positron emission-tomography(PET)-scan as well as KRAS status.Our CRLM Machine-learning Algorithm Prognostication model(CMAP)demonstrated better ability to predict OS(C-index=0.651),compared with the Fong CRS for 1-year(C-index=0.571)and 5-year OS(C-index=0.574).It also achieved a C-index of 0.651 for RFS.Conclusions:We present a promising machine learning algorithm to individualize prognostications for patients following resection of CRLM with good discriminative ability. | Cynthia Sin Nga Lam Alina Ashok Bharwani Evelyn Hui Yi Chan Vernice Hui Yan Chan Howard Lai Ho Au Margaret Kay Ho Shireen Rashed Bernard Ming Hong Kwong Wentao Fang Ka Wing Ma Chung Mau Lo Tan To Cheung | 2023 | Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2023,12,4: | 0 |
| 12 | Experience of living donor liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma in the University of Hong Kong Hospital显示文摘Aim:To describe the current practise of living donor liver transplantation(LDLT)for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),including the patient selection criteria,surgical techniques,management of small-for-size syndrome,postoperative complications,and the results of our units,in the Liver Transplant Centre of Queen Mary Hospital,Hong Kong,one of the high-volume centres for LDLT in Asia.Methods:Our centre practises careful selection for HCC patients using the University of California,San Francisco(UCSF)criteria,supplemented by alpha-fetoprotein level and the model for end-stage liver disease score.Slight flexibility is offered to enthusiastic donors and recipients in LDLT while balancing the risks and benefits.We pioneered in using the extended right lobe graft and the novel hepatic venoplasty technique,which lessen the risk of hyperperfusion and small-for-size syndrome with improved overall recipient survival.Data were collected prospectively and presented as the mean values and ranges,or the number of patients in proportion of total patient population.Results:Of our patients,74.9% met the UCSF criteria,and 64.5% met the Milan criteria.A 5-year overall and disease-free survival rate of 78.9% and 76.3% were achieved.Conclusion:LDLT is an ideal treatment for HCC in Hong Kong with regard to the critical organ shortage and high demand for transplantation.The current surgical techniques and post-transplant surveillance contribute to the positive outcome. | Janice Hoi Man Mok Ka Wing Ma Kenneth Siu Ho Chok | 2022 | Hepatoma Research2022,8,1: | 0 |

| 14 | Donor ductal anomaly is not a contraindication to right liver lobe donation显示文摘Background:Data of living-donor liver transplantation(LDLT)suggested that donor ductal anomaly may contribute to postoperative biliary complications in recipients and in donors.This retrospective study aimed to determine if the occurrence of postoperative biliary stricture in donors or recipients in rightlobe LDLT(RLDLT)is related to donor biliary anatomy type.Methods:We analyzed our RLDLT recipients’clinical data and those of their graft donors.The recipients were divided into 2 groups:with and without postoperative biliary stricture.The 2 groups were compared.The primary endpoints were donor biliary anatomy type and postoperative biliary complication incidence;the secondary endpoints were 1-,3-and 5-year graft and patient survival rates.Results:Totally 127 patients were included in the study;25(19.7%)of them developed biliary anastomotic stricture.In these 25 patients,16 had type A biliary anatomy,3 had type B,2 had type C,3 had type D,and 1 had type E.In the 127 donors,96(75.6%)had type A biliary anatomy,13(10.2%)had type B,6(4.7%)had type C,10(7.9%)had type D,and 2(1.6%)had type E.Biliary stricture was seen in 2 donors,who had type A biliary anatomy.None of the recipients or donors developed bile leakage.No association between the occurrence of postoperative biliary stricture and donor biliary anatomy type was found(P=0.527).Conclusions:The incidence of biliary stricture in donors or recipients after RLDLT was not related to donor biliary anatomy type.As postoperative complications were similar in whatever type of donor bile duct anatomy,donor ductal anomaly should not be considered a contraindication to donation of right liver lobe. | Kenneth SH Chok James YY Fung Wing Chiu Dai Sui Ling Sin Ka Wing Ma Albert CY Chan Tan To Cheung Chung Mau Lo | 2019 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2019,18,4: | 0 |
| 15 | Simultaneous portohepatic vein embolization a radiological:a short cut to associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy?显示文摘Insufficient future liver remnant(FLR)represented one of the most common contraindications for major hepatectomy as post-hepatectomy liver failure(PHLF)was associated with high mortality with no effective treatment.Since the description of portal vein embolization(PVE)by Makucchi in 1984(1),FLR volumetric modulation was made possible.Use of PVE before major hepatectomy for patients with insufficient FLR(i.e.,<30%of estimated standard liver volume)had greatly improved resectability. | Ka Wing Ma Albert Chi Yan Chan | 2021 | Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2021,10,3: | 0 |
