TL;DR: Liver transplantation is an effective treatment for small, unresectable hepatocellular carcinomas in patients with cirrhosis and after four years, the actuarial survival rate was 75 percent and the rate of recurrence-free survival was 83 percent.

TL;DR: It is concluded that liver resection is effective in selected patients with hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer and in resectable patients it is not yet possible to formulate a clear prognosis based on clinical factors.

TL;DR: Tumor MSI is a stage-dependent predictor of survival in patients with colorectal cancer, and the decreased likelihood of metastases in Patients with MSI cancer is associated with specific genetic and epigenetic changes of the primary tumor.

TL;DR: Surgical treatment of hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer is an effective procedure with acceptable mortality and morbidity rates, and an extensive experience of liver resection is, however, necessary to optimize results.

TL;DR: This study determines the infiltration rate of proximal and distal margins of resection in patients operated on for gastric cancer at the Istituto Nazionale Tumori of Milan to provide the surgeon with a rational basis for assessing the extent of resections when performing gastrectomy for cancer.
