Brief summary

Oxaliplatin has been used as the first choice for the adjuvant chemotherapy of colorectal cancer and it has significantly improved the outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer. However, hepatotoxicity is the potentially problematic adverse effect of oxaliplatin. The pathological evaluation of non-tumoral liver from patients with advanced colorectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant oxaliplatin-based treatment has provided histological evidence of hepatic sinusoidal injury. Oxaliplatin-induced sinusoidal injury can persist for more than 1 year after the completion of chemotherapy, and the increase in splenic volume may be a predictor of irreversible sinusoidal damage. In this current study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy of individualized treatment in patients with oxaliplatin-induced gastroesophageal varices after colorectal cancer surgery.

Interventions

Patients under evaluation including hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography of portal venous. For those patients with a HVPG ≥12mmHg or with extraluminal para-gastric vein will under transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and others receive endoscopic treatment.
