Postoperative Remission of Diabetes Mellitus After Gastrectomy in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus and Gastric Cancer.

Background/aim: We investigated the postoperative treatment status for diabetes mellitus and perioperative HbA1c levels in patients with diabetes mellitus and examined the effects of clinical factors on the remission of diabetes mellitus.

Patients And Methods: In this study, 126 patients with gastric cancer were considered to have diabetes mellitus preoperatively, of whom 79 were treated with oral antidiabetic drugs and/or insulin treatment. We compared diabetic treatment status and HbA1c values between the preoperative and postoperative periods in patients who underwent gastrectomy and examined the effects of clinical factors on improving diabetes mellitus.

[Long-Term Prognosis of Patients with Biliary Tract Cancer Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy].

We divided the patients with biliary tract cancer who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD)at our hospital into the 5-year recurrence-free and recurrence groups and investigated the prognostic factors. Additionally, we investigated the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with and without lymph node (LN) metastasis. There was no significant difference between the two groups for patient characteristics and perioperative factors.
