To develop and validate a radiomics-based nomogram for the preoperative prediction of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ⋯ A nomogram based on the Rad-score, MELD, and PS can predict PHLF.

Gastric cancer with the presence of peritoneal metastases (pmgc) is associated with a very poor prognosis. Despite the wide utilization and promising results of the multimodal treatment regimens including cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and a subsequent hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), it is still not fully understood which patient group is suitable for this treatment. ⋯ Neoadjuvant chemotherapy using the FLOT-protocol followed by CRS + HIPEC seems to be associated with prolonged OS in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer. This treatment needs a critical evaluation for patients with a PCI ≥12. Furthermore, the accurate selection of patients suffering of PMGC by using the developed score can improve the OS of up to 24 months for a suitable group and it can avoid the extensive treatment for unsuitable patients.
