Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
Carcinoembryonic antigen-specific, fluorescent image-guided cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.
This multicentre pilot study investigated the role of peroperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-specific fluorescence imaging during cytoreductive surgery-hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy surgery in peritoneal metastasized colorectal cancer. A correct change in peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) owing to fluorescence imaging was seen in four of the 14 included patients. The use of SGM-101 in patients with peritoneally metastasized colorectal carcinoma is feasible, and allows intraoperative detection of tumour deposits and alteration of the PCI. Augmented reality guidance.

Multicenter Study
Multicentre evaluation of case volume in minimally invasive hepatectomy.
Surgical outcomes may be associated with hospital volume and the influence of volume on minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) is not known. ⋯ A volume-outcome association existed for minimally invasive hepatectomy. Complex and major resections may be best managed in high-volume centres.
