Multicenter Study
Influence of the primary tumour location in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal liver metastases.
The prognosis of patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) seems to be altered when the primary tumour is right-sided. However, data are lacking and conflicting. We aimed to evaluate the influence of the primary tumour location on oncologic outcomes following such surgery. ⋯ Right-sided location of the primary tumour is associated with worse OS after surgery for CLM, but seems to have no influence on PFS, and on the pattern of recurrence.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Management and prognosis of locally recurrent rectal cancer - A national population-based study.
The rate of local recurrence of rectal cancer (LRRC) has decreased but the condition remains a therapeutic challenge. This study aimed to examine treatment and prognosis in patients with LRRC in Sweden. Special focus was directed towards potential differences between geographical regions and time periods. ⋯ A complete resection of the LRRC is essential for potentially curative treatment. Time period and region had no influence on either margin status or prognosis.
