| 1 | Liver cirrhosis and diabetes:Risk factors,pathophysiology,clinical implications and management显示文摘About 30% of patients with cirrhosis have diabetes mellitus(DM).Nowadays,it is a matter for debate whether type 2 DM in the absence of obesity and hypertriglyceridemia may be a risk factor for chronic liver disease.DM,which develops as a complication of cirrhosis,is known as 'hepatogenous diabetes'.Insulin resistance in muscular and adipose tissues and hyperinsulinemia seem to be the pathophysiologic bases of diabetes in liver disease.An impaired response of the islet β-cells of the pancreas and hepatic insulin resistance are also contributory factors.Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,alcoholic cirrhosis,chronic hepatitis C(CHC) and hemochromatosis are more frequently associated with DM.Insulin resistance increases the failure of the response to treatment in patients with CHC and enhances progression of fibrosis.DM in cirrhotic patients may be subclinical.Hepatogenous diabetes is clinically different from that of type 2 DM,since it is less frequently associated with microangiopathy and patients more frequently suffer complications of cirrhosis.DM increases the mortality of cirrhotic patients.Treatment of the diabetes is complex due to liver damage and hepatotoxicity of oral hypoglycemic drugs.This manuscript will review evidence that exists in relation to:type 2 DM alone or as part of the metabolic syndrome in the development of liver disease;factors involved in the genesis of hepatogenous diabetes;the impact of DM on the clinical outcome of liver disease;the management of DM in cirrhotic patients and the role of DM as a risk factor for the occurrence and exacerbation of hepatocellular carcinoma. | Diego Garcia-Compean Joel Omar Jaquez-Quintana Jose Alberto Gonzalez-Gonzalez Hector Maldonado-Garza | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，3： | 112 |

| 3 | Optimization of fused deposition modeling process parameters:a review of current research and future prospects显示文摘Fused deposition modeling(FDM) is one of the most popular additive manufacturing technologies for various engineering applications.FDM process has been introduced commercially in early 1990 s by Stratasys Inc.,USA.The quality of FDM processed parts mainly depends on careful selection of process variables.Thus,identification of the FDM process parameters that significantly affect the quality of FDM processed parts is important.In recent years,researchers have explored a number of ways to improve the mechanical properties and part quality using various experimental design techniques and concepts.This article aims to review the research carried out so far in determining and optimizing the process parameters of the FDM process.Several statistical designs of experiments and optimization techniques used for the determination of optimum process parameters have been examined.The trends for future FDM research in this area are described. | Omar A.Mohamed Syed H.Masood Jahar L.Bhowmik | 2015 | Advances in Manufacturing2015，3，1： | 38 |
| 4 | Tight junctions in inflammatory bowel diseases and inflammatory bowel disease associated colorectal cancer显示文摘Inflammatory bowel diseases are characterised by inflammation that compromises the integrity of the epithelial barrier. The intestinal epithelium is not only a static barrier but has evolved complex mechanisms to control and regulate bacterial interactions with the mucosal surface. Apical tight junction proteins are critical in the maintenance of epithelial barrier function and control of paracellular permeability. The characterisation of alterations in tight junction proteins as key players in epithelial barrier function in inflammatory bowel diseases is rapidly enhancing our understanding of critical mechanisms in disease pathogenesis as well as novel therapeutic opportunities. Here we give an overview of recent literature focusing on the role of tight junction proteins, in particular claudins, in inflammatory bowel diseases and inflammatory bowel disease associated colorectal cancer. | Jonathan Landy Emma Ronde Nick English Sue K Clark Ailsa L Hart Stella C Knight Paul J Ciclitira Hafid Omar Al-Hassi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，11： | 39 |
| 5 | Hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance:An evidence-based approach显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) makes up 75%-85% of all primary liver cancers and is the fourth most common cause of cancer related death worldwide. Chronic liver disease is the most significant risk factor for HCC with 80%-90% of new cases occurring in the background of cirrhosis. Studies have shown that early diagnosis of HCC through surveillance programs improve prognosis and availability of curative therapies. All patients with cirrhosis and high-risk hepatitis B patients are at risk for HCC and should undergo surveillance. The recommended surveillance modality is abdominal ultrasound(US) given that it is cost effective and noninvasive with good sensitivity. However, US is limited in obese patients and those with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD). With the current obesity epidemic and rise in the prevalence of NAFLD, abdominal computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging may be indicated as the primary screening modality in these patients. The addition of alpha-fetoprotein to a surveillance regimen is thought to improve the sensitivity of HCC detection.Further investigation of serum biomarkers is needed. Semiannual screening is the suggested surveillance interval. Surveillance for HCC is underutilized and low adherence disproportionately affects certain demographics such as nonCaucasian race and low socioeconomic status. | Patrick S Harris Ross M Hansen Meagan E Gray Omar I Massoud Brendan M McGuire Mohamed G Shoreibah | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019，25，13： | 31 |
| 6 | Rubber band ligation for 750 cases of symptomatic hemorrhoids out of 2200 cases显示文摘AIM: To study the results for the treatment of symptomatic hemorrhoids using rubber band ligation (RBL) method. METHODS: A retrospective study for 750 patients who came to the colorectal unit from June, 1998 to September, 2006, data was retrieved from archived fi les. RBL was performed using the Mc Gown applicator on an outpatient basis. The patients were asked to return to out-patient clinic for follow up at 2 wk, 1 mo, 6 mo and through telephone call every 6 mo for 2 years). RESULTS: After RBL, 696 patients (92.8%) were cured with no difference in outcome for second or third degree hemorrhoids (P = 0.31). Symptomatic recurrence was detected in 11.04% after 2 years. A total of 52 patients (6.93%) had 77 complications from RBL which required no hospitalization. Complications were pain, rectal bleeding and vaso-vagal symptoms(4.13%, 4.13% and 1.33% of patients, respectively). At 1 mo there were a significant improvement in mean SF-36 scores over baseline in five items, while after 2 years there were improvement in all items over baseline, but not significant. No significant manometeric changes after band ligation. CONCLUSION: RBL is a simple, safe and effective method for treating symptomatic second and third degree hemorrhoids as an out patient procedure with signifi cant improvement in quality of life. RBL doesn't alter ano-rectal functions. | Ayman M El Nakeeb Amir A Fikry Waleed H Omar Elyamani M Fouda Tito A El Metwally Hosam E Ghazy Sabry A Badr Mohmed Y Abu Elkhar Salih M Elawady Hisham H Abd Elmoniam Waiel W Khafagy Mosaad M Morshed Ramadan E El Lithy Mohamed E Farid | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008，14，42： | 24 |

| 8 | Portal vein thrombosis and arterioportal shunts:Effects on tumor response after chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effect of portal vein thrombosis and arterioportal shunts on local tumor response in advanced cases of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma treated by transarterial chemoembolization. METHODS: A retrospective study included 39 patients (mean age: 66.4 years, range: 45-79 years, SD: 7) with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who were treated with repetitive transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the period between March 2006 and October 2009. The effect of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) (in 19 out of 39 patients), the presence of arterioportal shunt (APS) (in 7 out of 39), the underlying liver pathology,Child-Pugh score, initial tumor volume, number of tumors and tumor margin definition on imaging were correlated with the local tumor response after TACE. The initial and end therapy local tumor responses were evaluated according to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) and magnetic resonance imaging volumetric measurements. RESULTS: The treatment protocols were well tolerated by all patients with no major complications. Local tumor response for all patients according to RECIST criteria were partial response in one patient (2.6%), stable disease in 34 patients (87.1%), and progressive disease in 4 patients (10.2%). The MR volumetric measurements showed that the PVT, APS, underlying liver pathology and tumor margin definition were statistically significant prognostic factors for the local tumor response (P = 0.018, P = 0.008, P = 0.034 and P = 0.001, respectively). The overall 6-, 12- and 18-mo survival rates from the initial TACE were 79.5%, 37.5% and 21%, respectively. CONCLUSION: TACE may be exploited safely for palliative tumor control in patients with advanced unresectable HCC; however, tumor response is significantly affected by the presence or absence of PVT and APS. | Thomas J Vogl Nour-Eldin Nour-Eldin Sally Emad-Eldin Nagy NN Naguib Joerg Trojan Hans Ackermann Omar Abdelaziz | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011，17，10： | 20 |
| 9 | Application of polyurethane geocomposites to help maintain track geometry for high-speed ballasted railway tracks显示文摘There are many issues surrounding the performance of critical assets on high-speed ballasted railway lines.At assets like switch & crossings and bridge transitions high track forces can be produced resulting in higher ballast settlements and hence track misalignments.The latter result in higher track forces and hence more settlement,leading to the need for increased track maintenance to ensure comfort and safety.Current technologies for solving issues like ballast movement under high-speed loading regimes are limited.However,a technique that has been well used across the UK and now increasingly overseas to stabilise and reinforce ballasted railway tracks is the application of in-situ polyurethane polymers,termed XiTRACK.This paper discusses how this technique can be used to solve these types of long-standing issues and presents actual polymer application profiles at two typical critical sites,namely a junction and a transition onto concrete slab-track. | Peter Keith WOODWARD Abdellah EL KACIMI Omar LAGHROUCHE Gabriela MEDERO Meysam BANIMAHD | 2012 | Journal of Zhejiang University-Science A(Applied Physics & Engineering)2012，13，11： | 20 |
| 10 | Omental flaps reduces complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy显示文摘BACKGROUND:Major complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy are usually caused by a leaking pancreaticojejunal anastomosis.Omental flaps around various anastomoses were used to prevent the formation of fistula.METHODS:We reviewed 147 patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy between March 2006 and March2012.The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the application of omental flaps around various anastomoses:group A(101 patients)who underwent omental wrapping procedure;group B(46 patients)who did not undergo the omental wrapping procedure.Perioperative data of the two groups were reviewed to assess the effectiveness of omental flap procedure in the prevention of pancreatic fistula and other complications.RESULTS:No differences were observed in the clinical characteristics between the 2 groups.The incidences of pancreatic fistula(4.0%vs 17.4%),post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage(0vs 6.5%),biliary fistula(1.0%vs 13.0%),and delayed gastric emptying(4.0%vs 17.4%)were significantly less frequent in group A.The overall morbidity(18.8%vs 47.8%)and hospital stay(8.3 vs 9.6 days)were also significantly lower in group A than in group B.CONCLUSIONS:Omental flaps around various anastomoses after pancreaticoduodenectomy can reduce the incidences of pancreatic fistula,biliary fistula,post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage and delayed gastric emptying.This procedure is simple and effective to reduce the overall morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy. | Omar J Shah Sadaf A Bangri Manmohan Singh Reyaz A Lattoo Mohammad Y Bhat | 2015 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2015，14，3： | 19 |
| 11 | Circulating micro RNA, mi R-122 and mi R-221 signature in Egyptian patients with chronic hepatitis C related hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To explore the potential usefulness of serum miR-122 and miR-221 as non-invasive diagnostic markers of hepatitis C virus(HCV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).METHODS: This prospective study was conducted on 90 adult patients of both sex with HCV-related chronic liver disease and chronic hepatitis C related HCC. In addition to the 10 healthy control individuals, patients were stratified into; interferon-na?ve chronic hepatitis C(CH)(n = 30), post-hepatitis C compensated cirrhosis(LC)(n = 30) and treatment-naive HCC(n = 30). All patients and controls underwent full clinical assessment and laboratory investigations in addition to the evaluation of the level of serum miR NA expression by RT-PCR.RESULTS: There was a significant fold change in serum mi RNA expression in the different patient groups when compared to normal controls; mi R-122 showed significant fold increasing in both CH and HCC and significant fold decrease in LC. On the other hand, mi R-221 showed significant fold elevation in both CH and LC groups and significant fold decrease in HCC group(P = 0.01). Comparing fold changes in miR NAs in HCC group vs non HCC group(CH and Cirrhosis), there was non-significant fold elevation in miR-122(P = 0.21) and significant fold decreasing in miR-221 in HCC vs non-HCC(P = 0.03). ROC curve analysis for miR-221 yielded 87% sensitivity and 40% specificity for the differentiation of HCC patients from non-HCC at a cutoff 1.82. CONCLUSION: Serum miR-221 has a strong potential to serve as one of the novel non-invasive biomarkers of HCC. | Hassan El-Garem Ayman Ammer Hany Shehab Olfat Shaker Mohammed Anwer Wafaa El-Akel Heba Omar | 2014 | World Journal of Hepatology2014，6，11： | 18 |
| 12 | Ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract:What is the evidence in a review?显示文摘Broadly,complex fistulas are those that are not low transsphincteric or intersphincteric. The objectives of surgical management are to achieve fistula healing,prevent recurrences and maintain continence. The risk of incontinence associated with treatment ranges from10% to 57%. The objective of this manuscript is to review the current literature to date on the ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract procedure(LIFT procedure) as a treatment option in these types of fistula.A search was conducted in Medline,PUBMED,EMBASE and ISI Web of Knowledge,and studies published from January 2009 to May 2013 were included. The primary outcomes were fistula healing rates,mean healing time and patient satisfaction with this surgical technique.Eighteen studies were included in this review. The total number of patients included was 592(65% male).The median age reported was 42.8 years. The most common type of fistula included was transsphincteric(73.3% of cases). The mean healing rate reported was74.6%. The risk factors for failure discovered were obesity,smoking,multiple previous surgeries and the length of the fistula tract. The mean healing time was5.5 wk,and the mean follow-up period was 42.3 wk.The patient satisfaction rates ranged from 72% to 100%. No de novo incontinence developed secondary to the LIFT procedure. There is not enough evidence that variants in the surgical technique achieve better outcomes(Bio-LIFT,LIFT-Plug,LIFT-Plus). This review indicates that the LIFT procedure is primarily effective for transsphincteric fistulas with an overall fistula closure of 74.6% and has a low impact on fecal continence. This procedure produces better outcomes at the first surgical attempt. | Omar Vergara-Fernandez Luis Alberto Espino-Urbina | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，40： | 16 |

| 14 | Systematic review and meta-analysis of colon cleansing preparations in patients with inflammatory bowel disease显示文摘AIM To performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine any possible differences in terms of effectiveness, safety and tolerability between existing colon-cleansing products in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.METHODS Systematic searches were performed( January 1980-September 2016) using MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, CENTRAL and ISI Web of knowledge for randomized trials assessing preparations with or without adjuvants, given in split and non-split dosing, and in high(> 3 L) or low-volume(2 L or less) regimens. Bowel cleansing quality was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included patient willingness-torepeat the procedure and side effects/complications.RESULTS Out of 439 citations, 4 trials fulfilled our inclusion criteria(n = 449 patients). One trial assessed the impact of adding simethicone to polyethylene glycol(PEG) 4 L with no effect on bowel cleansing quality, but a better tolerance. Another trial compared senna to castor oil, again without any differences in term of bowel cleansing. Two trials compared the efficacy of PEG high-volume vs PEG low-volume associated to an adjuvant in split-dose regimens: PEG low-dose efficacy was not different to PEG high-dose; OR = 0.84(0.37-1.92). A higher proportion of patients were willing to repeat low-volume preparations vs high-volume; OR = 5.11(1.31-20.0). CONCLUSION In inflammatory bowel disease population, PEG lowvolume regimen seems not inferior to PEG high-volume to clean the colon, and yields improved willingness-torepeat. Further additional research is urgently required to compare contemporary products in this population. | Sophie Restellini Omar Kherad Talat Bessissow Charles Ménard Myriam Martel Maryam Taheri Tanjani Peter L Lakatos Alan N Barkun | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017，23，32： | 16 |

| 16 | Trends and outcomes of pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary tumors: A 25-year single-center study of 1000 consecutive cases显示文摘AIM To evaluate the evolution, trends in surgical approaches a n d r e c o n s t r u c t i o n t e c h n i q u e s, a n d i m p o r t a n t lessons learned from performing 1000 consecutive pancreaticoduodenectomies(PDs) for periampullary tumors.METHODS This is a retrospective review of the data of all patients who underwent PD for periampullary tumor during the period from January 1993 to April 2017. The data were categorized into three periods, including early period(1993-2002), middle period(2003-2012), and late period(2013-2017).RESULTS The frequency showed PD was increasingly performed after the year 2000. With time, elderly, cirrhotic and obese patients, as well as patients with uncinate process carcinoma and borderline tumor were increasingly selected for PD. The median operative time and postoperative hospital stay decreased significantly over the periods. Hospital mortality declined significantly, from 6.6% to 3.1%. Postoperative complications significantly decreased, from 40% to 27.9%. There was significant decrease in postoperative pancreatic fistula in the second 10 years, from 15% to 12.7%. There was a significant improvement in median survival and overall survival among the periods.CONCLUSION Surgical results of PD significantly improved, with mortality rate nearly reaching 3%. Pancreatic reconstruction following PD is still debatable. The survival rate was also improved but the rate of recurrence is still high, at 36.9%. | ayman el nakeeb waleed askar ehab atef ehab el hanafy ahmad m sultan tarek salah ahmed shehta mohamed el sorogy emad hamdy mohamed el hemly ahmed a el-geidi tharwat kandil mohamed el shobari talaat abd allah amgad fouad mostafa abu zeid ahmed abu el eneen nabil gad el-hak gamal el ebidy omar fathy ahmed sultan mohamed abdel wahab | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017，23，38： | 15 |
| 17 | Lymphangiogenesis:A new player in cancer progression显示文摘Lymph node metastasis is the hallmark of colon cancer progression,and is considered one of the most important prognostic factors.Recently,there has been growing evidence that tumor lymphangiogenesis(formation of new lymphatic vessels) plays an important role in this process.Here,we review the latest f indings of the role of lymphangiogenesis in colorectal cancer progression,and discuss its clinical application as a biomarker and target for new therapy.Understanding the molecular pathways that regulate lymphangiogenesis is mandatory to pave the way for the development of new therapies for cancer.In the future,tailored treatments consisting of combinations of chemotherapy,other targeted therapies,and anti-lymphangiogenesis agents will hopefully improve patient outcomes.This progression to the clinic must be guided by new avenues of research,such as the identif ication of biomarkers that predict response to treatment. | Masayuki Nagahashi Subramaniam Ramachandran Omar M Rashid Kazuaki Takabe | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，32： | 14 |
| 18 | Normal vitamin D levels are associated with spontaneous hepatitis B surface antigen seroclearance显示文摘AIM: To investigate a possible association between serum vitamin D levels and spontaneous hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance. METHODS: Fifty-three patients diagnosed with chronic inactive hepatitis B and spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance were followed up in two Israeli liver units between 2007 and 2012. This retrospective study reviewed medical charts of all the patients, extracting demographic, serological and vitamin D rates in the serum, as well as medical conditions and current medical therapy. Spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance was defined as the loss of serum HBsAg indefinitely. Vitamin D levels were compared to all patients who underwent spontaneousHBsAg seroclearance.HBsAg seroclearance. RESULTS: Out of the 53 patients who underwent hepatitis B antigen seroclearance, 44 patients (83%) had normal levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin vitamin D compared to 9 patients (17%) who had below normal levels. Multivariate analysis showed that age (>35 years) OR = 1.7 (95%CI: 1.25-2.8, P=0.05), serum vitamin D levels (>20 ng/mL) OR = 2.6 (95%CI: 2.4-3.2, P=0.02), hepatitis B e antigen negativity OR = 2.1 (95%CI: 2.2-3.1, P=0.02), low viral load (hepatitis B virus DNA < 100 IU/mL) OR = 3 (95%CI: 2.6-4.2, P = 0.01) and duration of HBsAg seropositivity (> 8 years) OR = 1.6 (95%CI: 1.15-2.6, P=0.04) were also associated with spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance. CONCLUSION: We found a strong correlation between normal vitamin D levels and spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance. | Mahmud Mahamid William Nseir Omar Abu Elhija Shimon Shteingart Ammad Mahamid Mosab Smamra Benjamin Koslowsky | 2013 | World Journal of Hepatology2013，5，6： | 14 |
| 19 | High-speed colour-converting photodetector with all-inorganic CsPbBr_(3) perovskite nanocrystals for ultraviolet light communication显示文摘Optical wireless communication(OWC)using the ultra-broad spectrum of the visible-to-ultraviolet(UV)wavelength region remains a vital field of research for mitigating the saturated bandwidth of radio-frequency(RF)communication.However,the lack of an efficient UV photodetection methodology hinders the development of UV-based communication.The key technological impediment is related to the low UV-photon absorption in existing silicon photodetectors,which offer low-cost and mature platforms.To address this technology gap,we report a hybrid Sibased photodetection scheme by incorporating CsPbBr_(3) perovskite nanocrystals(NCs)with a high photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY)and a fast photoluminescence(PL)decay time as a UV-to-visible colourconverting layer for high-speed solar-blind UV communication.The facile formation of drop-cast CsPbBr_(3) perovskite NCs leads to a high PLQY of up to ~73% and strong absorption in the UV region.With the addition of the NC layer,a nearly threefold improvement in the responsivity and an increase of ~25% in the external quantum efficiency(EQE)of the solar-blind region compared to a commercial silicon-based photodetector were observed.Moreover,timeresolved photoluminescence measurements demonstrated a decay time of 4.5 ns under a 372-nm UV excitation source,thus elucidating the potential of this layer as a fast colour-converting layer.A high data rate of up to 34 Mbps in solar-blind communication was achieved using the hybrid CsPbBr_(3)-silicon photodetection scheme in conjunction with a 278-nm UVC light-emitting diode(LED).These findings demonstrate the feasibility of an integrated high-speed photoreceiver design of a composition-tuneable perovskite-based phosphor and a low-cost silicon-based photodetector for UV communication. | Chun Hong Kang Ibrahim Dursun Guangyu Liu Lutfan Sinatra Xiaobin Sun Meiwei Kong Jun Pan Partha Maity Ee-Ning Ooi Tien Khee Ng Omar F.Mohammed Osman M.Bakr Boon S.Ooi | 2019 | Light(Science & Applications)2019，8，1： | 14 |
| 20 | Prognostic value of site-specific metastases in pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database analysis显示文摘AIM To evaluate the prognostic value of site-specific metastases among patients with metastatic pancreaticc arcinoma registered within the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results(SEER) database.METHODS SEER database(2010-2013) has been queried through SEER*Stat program to determine the presentation, treatment outcomes and prognostic outcomes of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma according to the site of metastasis. In this study, metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients were classified according to the site of metastases(liver, lung, bone, brain and distant lymph nodes). We utilized chi-square test to compare the clinicopathological characteristics among different sites of metastases. We used Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank testing for survival comparisons. We employed Cox proportional model to perform multivariate analyses of the patient population; and accordingly hazard ratios with corresponding 95%CI were generated. Statistical significance was considered if a two-tailed P value < 0.05 was achieved. RESULTS A total of 13233 patients with stage Ⅳ pancreatic cancer and known sites of distant metastases were identified in the period from 2010-2013 and they were included into the current analysis. Patients with isolated distant nodal involvement or lung metastases have better overall and pancreatic cancer-specific survival compared to patients with isolated liver metastases(for overall survival: lung vs liver metastases: P < 0.0001; distant nodal vs liver metastases: P < 0.0001)(for pancreatic cancer-specific survival: lung vs liver metastases: P < 0.0001; distant nodal vs liver metastases: P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed that age < 65 years, white race, being married, female gender; surgery to the primary tumor and surgery to the metastatic disease were associated with better overall survival and pancreatic cancer-specific survival.CONCLUSION Pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients with isolated liver metastases have worse outcomes compared to patients with isolated lung or distant nodal metastases. Further research is needed to identify the highly selected subset of patients who may benefit from local treatment of the primary tumor and/or metastatic disease. | Hani Oweira Ulf Petrausch Daniel Helbling Jan Schmidt Meinrad Mannhart Arianeb Mehrabi Othmar Schob Anwar Giryes Michael Decker Omar Abdel-Rahman | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017，23，10： | 13 |
