TL;DR: One‐hundred‐ninety‐four eligible and evaluable patients with histologically confirmed locally unresectable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas were randomly assigned to therapy with high‐dose radiation therapy alone, to moderate‐dose (4000 rads) radiation + 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and to high‐ dose radiation plus 5‐FU.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of a collected series of patients undergoing hepatic resection for colorectal metastases, 100 patients were found to have survived greater than five years from the time of resection, and of these 100 long-term survivors, 71 remain disease-free through the last follow-up, 19 recurred prior to five years, and ten recurred after five years.

TL;DR: Laroscopy and intraoperative ultrasound are essential in staging patients with hepatic malignant neoplasms and RFA is safer than CSA and can be performed via different approaches (percutaneously, laparoscopically, or at celiotomy), it is limited by tumor size (<3 cm.

TL;DR: The first 100 orthotopic liver transplants (OLT) were performed in 83 patients between February 1, 1984 and November 1, 1986, and eighty-eight of 43 patients who had transplantation in the past year are alive.

TL;DR: Thirty-five patients received 42 liver homografts between February 1984 and August 1985 and one or more infections developed in 23 patients some time after transplantation, the primary cause of death in five (14%) of 35 patients.
