Clinical Significance of Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Associated with Extrahepatic Metastases
Conclusions: Hepatectomy is not recommended for HCC patients with extrahepatic metastasis with ≥3 intrahepatic tumors, even when all intrahepatic tumors can be eliminated via hepatectomy. Aggressive surgery may be justified for HCC patients with ≤2 intrahepatic tumors and maximal tumor size #x3c;100 mm, irrespective of vascular invasion.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Clinical Classification and Severity Scoring Systems in Chronic Pancreatitis: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: Available systems and scores do not reflect recent advances and guidelines in CP and are not commonly used. A practical clinical classification and scoring system, validated prospectively for prognostication would be useful for the meaningful analysis in observational and interventional studies in CP.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)
