Surgical Treatment of Hilar and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (Updates in Surgery)

Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most frequent primary neoplasm of the liver and its incidence is increasing in Western countries. These neoplasms arise from the biliary tract and can be categorized according to their anatomical location as intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas. The prognosis of these neoplasms is poor and most patients are not suitable for curative resection at the time of diagnosis ,due to advanced stage of tumor. Complete surgical resection still remains the only effective and potentially curative therapy. Both intrahepatic and hilar cholangiocarcinoma often requires major liver resection to obtain a radical treatment. In recent years the improvements in non- invasive diagnostic imaging modalities, a better understanding of liver anatomy, the improvements of preoperative optimisation of liver function (preoperative biliary drainage, portal vein embolization), the increased safety of liver surgery have gradually improved the outcome. Moreover, aggressive surgical approach could increase curative surgery. Still now the role of adjunvant therapies and liver transplantation are not well clarified. This book contains an up-to-date review of diagnostic and staging tools of cholangiocarcinoma, a guide to optimal selection of therapeutic modalities and a review of long-term outcome of surgery and liver transplantation. Moreover, it provides details of surgical techniques and principles for curative and palliative surgery. This book will appeal to physicians and hepatobiliary surgeons who want to improve their knowledge about surgical management of intrahepatic and hilar cholangiocarcinomas.

Aneurysms : Why Me? Why Not Me?

Saturday, June 4, 1955, my parents were introduced to a beautiful baby girl they named Linda Denise Hunt. This was my best day ever. My parents were Arnett Hunt, thirty-two years old, and Adrienne Hunt, twenty-one years old. I was the first girl born on my father?s side of the family in thirty-five years. I think it was the best day ever for them too! I came from educators and entrepreneurs. In a small southside community of Chicago, I attended Morgan Park High School, and after graduating, I struggled with trying to find my purpose in life, asking myself, am I smart enough to become an educator, or will I have the skills and/or talent to become an entrepreneur? Through adoptions and extended families, my family grew by leaps and bounds. I learned at an early age how to open myself up to people, love others, and pursue a dream of my own. I watched my mother raise the six children left at home after the death of my father some thirty years ago, who died from three ruptured brain aneurysms, which might not have happened had today?s knowledge been available then. This book will take you to a world of the unknown and introduce you to a world some of us heard about but never thought could happen to us. It took me fifty-two years and two ruptured brain aneurysms to finally find my purpose in life!
