Combination of Conservative and Interventional Therapy Strategies for Intra- and Extrahepatic Cholangiocellular Carcinoma: A Retrospective Survival Analysis

Abstract: Background. Due to the predominantly advanced stage at the time of diagnosis treatment of cholangiocarcinoma is difficult. Apart from surgical resection, interventional treatment strategies are increasingly used in advanced stage tumours. The aim of the study was a retrospective comparison of the effect of the various forms of treatment on morbidity and mortality. Method. A total of 195 patients, received either chemotherapy or a combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) or transarterial chemoembolization (TAC… Show more

“…One further small retrospective study compared overall survival between PDT chemotherapy combination and chemotherapy alone and found a potential survival benefit of the combination therapy. However, this survival benefit was not statistically significant ( P = 0.47), probably due to the very small cohort (n = 11) . In our retrospective study, we observed convincing evidence for a beneficial role of PDT combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of unresectable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, compared with standard chemotherapy.…”

“…Previous studies of survival in CCA patients have focused on specific subgroups-such as those at advanced stage (Park et al, 2009), receiving surgical resection (Murakami et al, 2011;Pattanathien et al, 2013;Sriputtha et al, 2013) or adjuvant therapy (Knüppel et al, 2012), or specific tumour locations (Cheng et al, 2007;Hasegawa et al, 2007;Nakagohri et al, 2008;Guglielmi et al, 2009;Bunsiripaiboon et al, 2010;Cho et al, 2010;Nuzzo et al, 2010;Li et al, 2011). In addition, most studies were retrospective, only one prospective study (Mihalache et al, 2010) has been reported, and there are none from Asian countries.…”

“…São inúmeras as aplicações, em diversos campos do conhecimento, nas quais este dispositivo é utilizado como ferramenta de base. O sensoriamento remoto da atmosfera a laser (técnica LIDAR) no controle de emissão de poluentes [3]; as terapias fotodinâmicas para recuperação de tecidos biológicos lesionados [4], e até mesmo como instrumento cirúrgico [5]; o corte e solda de alta precisão em peças na indústria metalúrgica [6]; entre outras, são exemplos bem sucedidos de aplicações do laser.…”

“…A intensidade dos fótons Y em um dado ponto i do difratograma pode ser calculada através da equação (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22), que é descrita em função dos índices de Miller (k) em uma dada reflexão de Bragg, da radiação de fundo yb; do fator A de absorção dos fótons pela amostra; de uma função PK que leva em consideração a textura da amostra; de uma função ϕ que descreve o perfil de reflexão em relação a sua direção; do fator de estrutura FK (posições atômicas no cristal), de uma função LK composta pelos fatores de Lorentz, de polarização e de multiplicidade; e finalmente de um fator de escala estritamente relacionado a propriedades do feixe com o qual se trabalha…”
