Evolution and improved outcomes in the era of multimodality treatment for extended pancreatectomy.

Background: The evolution and outcomes of extended pancreatectomies at a single institute over 15 years are presented in this study.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of the institutional database was performed from 2015 to 2022 (period B). Patients undergoing extended pancreatic resections, as defined by the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery, were included.

Comparison of R-CHOP-14 and R-mini-CHOP in older adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma-A retrospective multicenter cohort study.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common lymphoma entity, and its incidence increases with age. There is a paucity of data regarding use of biweekly R-CHOP (R-CHOP-14) in patients ≥80 years of age. We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with DLBCL aged ≥80 years treated with R-CHOP-14 and R-miniCHOP in two academic tertiary centers in Germany between 01/01/2005 and 12/30/2019.

Impact of post-hepatectomy biliary leaks on long-term survival in different liver tumors: A single institute experience.

Backgrounds/aims: A postoperative biliary leak is one of the most morbid complications occurring after a liver resection, the long-term impact of which remains unknown.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive liver resections performed from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2021. Primary endpoint of disease-free survival (DFS) was compared between patients with and without a bile leak, stratifying for tumor type.

Long-Term Sustainability of Peri-Operative Infection Control Practices: Implementation of "Clean Cut," a Checklist-Based Quality Improvement Program in India.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a substantial healthcare burden in low- and middle- income countries. "Clean Cut" is a checklist-based infection prevention and control (IPC) program intended to improve compliance to peri-operative IPC standards. We aim to study the short-term and long-term impact of its implementation in a tertiary care cancer referral center.

Anti-T-lymphocyte globulin (ATLG) compared to post-transplant cyclophosphamide as GvHD prophylaxis in ALL patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

We retrospectively analyzed high-risk ALL patients in CR1 receiving total body irradiation based conditioning regimen with ATLG (n = 74) or PTCy (n = 73) for GVHD prophylaxis. The 3-year OS and LFS were similar in both groups: 65 and 60% in the ATLG group and 64 and 67% in the PTCy group (p = 0.9 and 0.
