générale tant dans les séries chirurgicales (20-22) que dans
les essais de phase III ou les grandes cohortes observation-
nelles totalisant plusieurs milliers de patients (23), pour peu
qu’un délai minimal de 5 à 8 semaines soit respecté entre la
dernière administration et la chirurgie.
Le bévacizumab paraît même diminuer l’incidence du syndrome
d’obstruction sinusoïdale induit par l’oxaliplatine (10, 24)
et, subséquemment, les besoins transfusionnels peropéra-
toires (22).
Enfin, le bévacizumab ne compromet pas l’hypertrophie
compensatrice de ce qu’il restera du foie restant après embo-
lisation portale (25).
Conclusion
L’évaluation initiale en RCPO des patients présentant des MHCR
est cruciale afi n d’identifi er les cas résécables d’emblée et, parmi
les cas non résécables, ceux qui peuvent le devenir après chimio-
thérapie d’induction optimale – c’est-à-dire une chimiothérapie
à la fois hautement et rapidement effi cace et peu morbide.
Cette évaluation initiale permet de défi nir une stratégie de
prise en charge médico-chirurgicale personnalisée (durée de
la chimiothérapie, délai chimiothérapie-chirurgie, radiofré-
quences, chirurgie en un ou deux temps, embolisation portale
si nécessaire), qu’il importera de réévaluer et, le cas échéant,
d’adapter à chaque étape du traitement. ■
