Elective hepatic resection.

Abstract:

:Significant salvage of patients with a wide variety of cysts and benign tumors of the liver and of some patients with biliary strictures can be achieved by hepatic resection in carefully selected clinical situations with a low operative mortality rate and an acceptable postoperative complication rate. Still to be determined is the role of hepatic resection in metastatic carcinoma and sarcoma of the liver, where survival is modest but measurable, but important palliation can be achieved. Hepatomas should be resected when possible, but hepatic resection for aid in resection of bile duct carcinoma has proved generally unrewarding.

  • Putative tumor-suppressor gene on chromosome 11 is important in sporadic endocrine tumor formation.

    abstract::Endocrine tumors arising sporadically or as a manifestation of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type I syndrome (MEN I) have been shown to have mutations on chromosome 11. These mutations can be detected at the molecular level by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for DNA markers from chromosome 11. This study represents on...
