TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Cox proportional hazards model to estimate the survival rate for metastatic colorectal cancer using 305 consecutive patients who underwent primary hepatic resections for melanoma.

TL;DR: The survival rates after intestinal transplantation have cumulatively improved during the past decade, and with the management strategies currently under evaluation, intestinal transplant procedures have the potential to become the standard of care for patients with end-stage intestinal failure.

TL;DR: There was a lack of survival benefit in DCD livers utilized in patients with model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) ≤30 or those not on organ‐perfusion support, as graft survival was significantly lower compared to DBD patients, however, DCD and DBD subjects transplanted with MELD >30 or on organ-perfusions support had similar graft survival, suggesting a potentially greater benefit of DCDLivers in critically ill patients.

TL;DR: Satisfactory longterm survivals can be obtained by curative surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma either with hepatic resection or liver transplantation or with curative intent.

TL;DR: The current pathologic TNM classification system was not found to be predictive for patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx) in the presence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
