Extreme Hepatic Surgery and Other Strategies
This book describes the diagnoses; staging and management of patients with colorectal liver metastases initially considered unresectable and portrays the different strategies to increase resectability along with their tactics and tricks. Colorectal carcinoma is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world and according to recent cancer statistics around 1.23 million patients are diagnosed each year. Of these patients, approximately 50% will develop liver metastases during the course of their disease and around 15-25% are found to have stage IV disease at diagnosis. Liver resection has been recognized as the treatment of choice for these patients, offering overall 5-year survival rat...
Colorectal Liver Metastasis
This book provides a practically applicable guide to the management of liver metastases in cases of colorectal cancer. It features detailed reviews of the latest diagnostic and therapeutic options. Instruction on how to appropriately apply surgical techniques including two stage hepatectomy as well as both laprascopic and open resection in a variety of scenarios is covered. The use of systemic therapies involving oxaliplatin, immunotherapy and infusional therapy are also described along with a range of surveillance strategies. Vauthey and Adam Colorectal Liver Metastasis comprehensively covers the latest advances in how to successfully diagnose and treat colorectal liver metastases and is an indispensable resource for all trainee and practicing medical professionals who encounter these patients within their clinical practice.
Recent Advances in Liver Surgery
For many years liver surgery has been considered major surgery, which has been often associated with a high complication rate. Although evidence suggests that better results are achieved in specialized centers with a high volume of procedures, nevertheless liver resections are now carried out in most of the general surgery divisions. Beside the fac
Visualization in Medicine
Visualization in Medicine is the first book on visualization and its application to problems in medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book describes the algorithms, the applications and their validation (how reliable are the results?), and the clinical evaluation of the applications (are the techniques useful?). It discusses visualization techniques from research literature as well as the compromises required to solve practical clinical problems. The book covers image acquisition, image analysis, and interaction techniques designed to explore and analyze the data. The final chapter shows how visualization is used for planning liver surgery, one of the most demanding surgical disciplines. The book is based on several years of the authors' teaching and research experience. Both authors have initiated and lead a variety of interdisciplinary projects involving computer scientists and medical doctors, primarily radiologists and surgeons.* A core field of visualization and graphics missing a dedicated book until now* Written by pioneers in the field and illustrated in full color* Covers theory as well as practice
