Trial summary

Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) has gained acceptance as an effective treatment for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in selected patients, providing similar oncologic outcomes compared to open liver resection (OLR). A single-center retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database was performed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Liver Resection for Colorectal Liver Metastases: Retrospective Analysis of Prognostic Factors and Oncological Outcomes in a Single-center Cohort

Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) has gained acceptance as an effective treatment for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) in selected patients, providing similar oncologic outcomes compared to open liver resection (OLR). A single-center retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database was performed. The primary aim of this study was to determine prognostic factors for the survival outcomes associated with LLR for CRLM.

Read the detailed description

LLR was defined as pure LLR, including conversions to OLR. In case of missing data, additional details were retrieved from the individual patient file. Data on patient demographics, timing of diagnosis, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), tumor characteristics (both primary tumor and CRLM), histopathology, molecular characteristics, operative technique (including classification into anatomically major/technically major/minor LR), intra- and postoperative course, adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) as well as oncological outcomes (OS and DFS) were gathered and analyzed. Postoperative complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Complications were classified as major in case of Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3A.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer and Liver Metastases, run by General Hospital Groeninge.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival outcomes (time frame: 9 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Sep 2021.
