Journal ArticleDOI
Laparoscopy-assisted colectomy versus open colectomy for treatment of non-metastatic colon cancer: a randomised trial
Antonio M. Lacy,Juan Carlos García-Valdecasas,Salvadora Delgado,Antoni Castells,Pilar Taura,Josep M. Piqué,Josep Visa +6 more
TL;DR: LAC is more effective than OC for treatment of colon cancer in terms of morbidity, hospital stay, tumour recurrence, and cancer-related survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural history of untreated nonsurgical hepatocellular carcinoma: Rationale for the design and evaluation of therapeutic trials
Josep M. Llovet,Javier Bustamante,Antoni Castells,Ramón Vilana,Maria Del Carmen Ayuso,Margarita Sala,Concepció Brú,Joan Rodés,Jordi Bruix +8 more
TL;DR: The outcome of nonsurgical HCC is not homogeneously grim and may be predicted by assessing the presence of symptoms and of an invasive tumoral pattern and Therapeutic trials should be designed and evaluated considering these characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients: Prognostic value of preoperative portal pressure
Jordi Bruix,Antoni Castells,Jackie Bosch,F Feu,Josep Fuster,Juan Carlos García-Pagán,Josep Visa,Conxita Bru,Joan Rodés +8 more
TL;DR: Cirrhotics with increased portal pressure are at high risk of hepatic decompensation after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma, and surgical resection should therefore be restricted to patients without portal hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Subjects in the FIT group were more likely to participate in screening than were those in the colonoscopy group, and more adenomas were identified in thecolorectal cancer group.
