ABSTRACT
Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative coagulation of the vein adjacent to a tumor nodule in sonographically-guided percutaneous radiofrequency thermal ablation of perivascular liver metastases of colorectal cancer.
Materials and methods. To address the issue, we compared the results of sonographically-guided percutaneous radiofrequency thermal ablation of perivascular liver metastases of colorectal cancer in 27 patients (aged 60.5 (58; 68) years) without prior coagulation of the adjacent vein (control group) and 26 patients (62.0 (60; 74)) with prior coagulation of the adjacent vein (experimental group). Results. Lower incidence of residual tumor in the ablation area in the patients with prior coagulation of the adjacent vein (14.3 % vs. 29 % of the patients in the control group) and a higher relapse-free survival of such patients (65.2 % vs. 53.6 % and 55.6 % vs. 33.3 %) were reported as compared to the group without prior coagulation of the adjacent vein (after 6 and 12 months, respectively).
Conclusion. Preoperative coagulation of the vein adjacent to colorectal cancer liver metastasis allows reducing the effect of heat removal from the RFA zone, thereby contributing to higher radicality of the treatment and resulting both in a lower incidence of residual tumor in the ablation zone and a higher relapse-free survivalof patients, notably without significant concomitant changes in the affected part of the liver (segment atrophy).

тазов колоректального рака в печени 27 пациентов (возраст — 60,5 (58; 68) года) без предварительной коагуляции прилежащей вены (группа контроля) и 26 пациентов (62,0 (60; 74])) с предварительной коагуляцией прилежащей вены (опытная группа).
Результаты. Выявлена меньшая инцидентность остаточной опухоли в зоне аблации у пациентов с предварительной коагуляцией прилежащей вены (14,3 % против 29,0 % у пациентов группы контроля) и большая безрецидивная выживаемость пациентов (65,2 % против 53,6 % и 55,6 % против 33,3 %) в сравнении с группой без предварительной коагуляции прилежащей вены (через 6 и 12 месяцев соответственно).
Заключение. Предварительная коагуляция вены, прилежащей к метастазу колоректального рака в печени, позволяет уменьшить эффект теплоотведения из зоны РЧА, тем самым обеспечивая большую радикальность воздействия и, соответственно, меньшую инцидентность остаточной опухоли в зоне аблации, а также большую безрецидивную выживаемость пациентов, причем без существенных сопутствующих изменений печени (атрофии сегмента) в зоне воздействия.

Introduction
Primary tumor in the hepatic portal system is the most common cause of liver metastases [1]. Furthermore, those liver metastases can either have pronounced vascularization (in 67 % of the cases) or, alternatively, they can be adjacent to a large vessel [9, 10]. Either case can result in reduced radicali-ty of the management of metastases during radiofrequency ablation (RFA) due to the heat removal effect [2-5].The latter generally manifests when the size of a vessel (vein) is 3 mm or more [10].Moreover, such an effect entails a high risk of residual tumor cell persistence in the transition zone due to the heat removal from the RFA zone by the vessel adjacent to the tumor. This dictates the need for vein occlusion (if its diameter is 3 mm or more) before performing RFA of the metastatic lesion [14]. Especially considering that neither segment atrophy, nor systemic inflammatory responses, nor hepatic impairment is observed during occlusion of such veins [14].
In certain cases, malignant liver tumors can stimulate pronounced vascularization, or they can be located in close proximity to large blood vessels. Either case necessitates prior chemoembolization of tumor-supplying vessels in order to minimize heat removal and increase
the radicality of exposure during radiofrequen-cy ablation (RFA) [2-4]. Nevertheless, the use of the given method turned out to cause certain problems in patients with heart failure (if the left ventricular ejection fraction is less than 50 %), with renal impairment (if creatinine level exceeds 177 mmol/L), and in some other medical conditions [5-8]. Needless to say that in such a situation there emerged a need to search for a different way to avoid the heat re-mova! effect.
Objective
To evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative coagulation of the vein adjacent to a tumor nodule in sonographically-guided percutaneous radiofrequency thermal ablation of perivascular liver metastases of colorectal cancer.
Materials and methods
We analyzed the results of sonographical-ly-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ther-malablation procedure in 53 patients with liver metastases of colorectal cancer, who had been receiving radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy at "Gomel Regional Clinical Oncological Dispensary" from 2014 through 2020. The lo-coregional treatment was preceded by the image-guided radiotherapy including ultrasound
Проблемы здоровья и экологии/Health and Ecology Issues
examination of all the patients and CT angiography (CTA). The diagnosis was morphologically verified using a sonographically-guided trepanobiopsy.
A total of 53 patients underwent percutaneous radiofrequency thermalablation of liver malignancies (25 male patients and 28 female patients), the average age was 63.6 ± 10.6 years. The patients were divided into two groups: a total of 27 patients (50.9 %) without prior coagulation of the adjacent vein (the adjacent vein diameter -3.0 ± 1.7 mm) were included in the control group, and 27 patients (49,1 %) with prior coagulation of the adjacent vein (the adjacent vein diameter -3.0 ± 1.9 mm) were included in the experimental group.
Both the control and experimental groups were comparable in terms of the age of the patients (60.5 (58.0; 68.0) years/62.0 (60.1; 74.0) years (p = 0.4)) and clinical particulars.
The main characteristics of metastatic lesions were evaluated in both the groups along with the length of inpatient stay, types of complications, biochemical blood test results (liver enzymes), the extent of fibrosis, depth of necrosis, median relapse-free periods, and survival rates.
Liver metastases were visualized using the mid-range ultrasound scanner AlokaProsound Alpha 6 with a convex electronic sensoroperating in the frequency range from 3.5 to 5 MHz. The evaluation of the blood vessels was carried out by Colour Doppler Imaging (CDI).
A disposable pickup electrode of the Cooltip™ system (length — 15-25 cm, applied part — 2.0-3.0 cm) and a generator were used for the radiofrequency ablation procedure. The disposable pickup electrode was directed to the target area with a direct puncture of the adjacent blood vessel under ultrasound guidance. Further, the vessel was "sealed" in the "coagulation" mode until the blood flow was no longer visualized (in the CDI mode). Then the electrode was placed in the center of the metastasis to perform tumor ablation (the time of exposure of each lesion — 14.0 ± 2.2 min) with further extraction of the electrode in the "coagulation" mode. In the event when the area of necrosis did not cover the tumor together with a 10-mm zone of the adjacent tissue after single exposure, another application was performed. Postoperative complications were assessed using the five-grade modified Clavien-Dindo classification system [15-20].
The statistical analysis of the obtained results was carried out using the software environment R version 3.2 (R Foundation for
2021;18(3):57-63
Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) and MedCalc 15.6.1 (trial version).
The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to verify that the variables were normally distributed. If the distribution of quantitative values was different from normal, then the results were grouped into 25th percentile and 75th percentile, while in the event of normal distribution, the results were given as the mean and standard deviation of the mean (M±SD). The Mann-Whitney U-test and two-tailed Fisher's exact test were used to compare two independent samples. The results were regarded statistically significant if the p-value was below 0.05. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r) was used to evaluate the strength of a monotonic relationship between connected variables. A relapse-free survival rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
Results and discussion
Solitary metastases were reported in 42 (79.2 %) patients, 2 lesions were observed in 8 (15.1 %) patients, and 3 lesions-in 3 (5.7 %) patients (characteristics of the metastases in the control and experimental groups are presented in detail in Table 1).
As it can be seen from Table 1, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups.
As it can be seen from Table 2, no statistically significant differences were reported between the control and experimental groups in terms of the biochemical test results. Meanwhile, hyperenzymemia in both the groups was transient (a gradual decrease in the concentration of enzymes was observed after day 3). As for bilirubin, its concentration was found to be within the normal range in all the patients. Figure 1 visually features the changes in the specified biochemical parameters.
According to the early postoperative follow-up results, mild complications were reported both in the control and experimental groups, and they were generally complex (the complications included mostly vagal reactions combined with a pain syndrome lasting up to 6 hours). Moreover, one case of liver abscess (grade IIIA according to the Clavien-Dindo classification) was reported in each group in the early postoperative period. The above-mentioned information is presented in detail in Table 3.

As it can be seen from Table 3, no statistically significant differences were reported between the control and experimental groups in terms of the incidence of complications and length of in-patient stay.
Considering that no statistically significant differences were reported for most of the above specified evaluation criteria, except, perhaps, for
the diameters of perivascular and nonvascular neoplasms, which were about 29mm (16; 17) and 23.5 mm (18;19) respectively, t he X-ray catamnesis of the patients in the control and experimental groups over a 12-month period (CTA follow-up was carried out 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after ablation) is of particular interest (the results are presented in Table 4).

Post-ablation changes Control group (n = 27) Experimental group (n = 26) р
Extent of fibrosis in the ablation zone (cm3) after 1 day 34.4 (24.5; 70.80) 33.5 (20.6; 82.4) 0.6
Extent of fibrosis in the ablation zone (cm3) after 3 months 24.4 (17.2; 53.1) 24.4 (17.1; 65.5) 0.9
Extent of fibrosis in the ablation zone (cm3) after 6 months 20.6 (17.1; 48.0) 20.6 (14.1; 57.9) 0.8
As it can be seen from Table 4, no statistically significant differences were reported between the groups in terms of the extent of post-ablation fibrosis in the postoperative period. This means that preoperative coagulation of the vein adjacent to the metastasis does not result in a decrease ("contraction") of the liver segment in the affected area even though it enhances the treatment radicality. The latter can account both for
the reduced incidence of the residual tumor cells in the ablation zone in the patients of the experimental group (14.3 % vs. 29.0 % in the patients of the control group, p = 0.043, x2), and a greater relapse-free survival rate of the patients after 6 and 12 months (65.2 % vs. 53.6 % (p = 0.4, x2) and 55.6 % vs. 33.3 % (p = 0.042, x2)) as compared to the control group (Figure 2).

Conclusion
Preoperative coagulation of the vein adjacent to colorectal cancer liver metastasis allows to reduce the effect of heat removal from the RFA zone, thus, contributing to higher radicality of the treatment and resulting both in a decreased incidence of residual disease in the ablation zone and an increased relapse-free
survival of patients, importantly without major associated changes in the affected part of the liver (segment atrophy).
The suggested method does not require any additional financial or technical investments and does not result in prolonged hospitalization.
