Journal ArticleDOI
External drainage of pancreatic duct with a stent to reduce leakage rate of pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy: a prospective randomized trial.
TL;DR: External drainage of pancreatic duct with a stent reduced leakage rate of pancreaticojejunostomy after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous improvement of survival outcomes of resection of hepatocellular carcinoma: a 20-year experience.
Sheung Tat Fan,Chung Mau Lo,Ronnie T.P. Poon,C Yeung,Chi Leung Liu,Wai Key Yuen,Chi Ming Lam,Kelvin K. Ng,See Ching Chan +8 more
TL;DR: An improvement in the overall survival rate was observed in patients with cirrhosis, those undergoing major hepatectomy, and those with tumors of tumor-node-metastasis stages II, IIIA, and IVA, as well as in patients whose tumors were considered transplantable by the Milan criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Phase I/II Trial of Chemoembolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using a Novel Intra-Arterial Drug-Eluting Bead
Ronnie T.P. Poon,Wai Kuen Tso,Roberta Pang,Kelvin K. Ng,Regina Woo,Kin Shing Tai,Sheung Tat Fan +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows that T ACE using DEB is a safe and effective treatment for HCC, supporting a phase III randomized trial to compare this novel treatment with conventional TACE using doxorubicin-Lipiodol emulsion.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Hepatic resection can be safely performed in patients with large or multinodular HCC, with an overall 5-year survival rate of 39%, and Symptomatic disease, the presence of cirrhosis, a mult inodular tumor, microvascular invasion, and a positive histological margin are independently associated with a less favorable survival outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Learning curve for radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors: prospective analysis of initial 100 patients in a tertiary institution.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that there is a significant learning curve in RFA for liver tumors, and a low complication rate and a high complete ablation rate could be achieved with the accumulated experience from the first 50 cases of RFA by a specialized team.
