Article Synopsis
- The peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is increasingly common due to GI and gynecological cancers and has a poorer prognosis than other metastases.
- The study aimed to analyze how the peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) impacts overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
- Results showed that patients with ovarian tumors and pseudomyxoma with a PCI less than 15 had significantly better OS (over 70 months) compared to those with gastric tumors (only 4 months), indicating that both PCI and tumor type are important predictors of patient survival.
Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the standard treatment for resectable periampullary cancer. Surgical site infections (SSI) are common complications with increased morbidity. The study aimed to describe the prevalence, risk factors, microbiology, and outcomes of SSI among patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.

- Solid and papillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPNP) is a rare tumor primarily affecting young women, characterized by its large size and favorable prognosis.
- A case study is presented involving a 34-year-old woman who was misdiagnosed with ductal carcinoma but, upon surgery for a 15 cm pancreatic tumor, was confirmed to have SPNP.
- The study emphasizes that even in older women, SPNP should be considered when a large abdominal mass is found, as surgical resection is the best treatment due to the tumor's low malignancy potential and excellent prognosis.
Background: The prognosis of the lymph node ratio (LNR) in Vater's ampulla carcinomas (VACs) is recently studied. However, there are not enough data in several populations like Latin American people. Our aim is to demonstrate the prognosis significance of the LNR in this setting.

Systemic chemotherapy has improved the survival of those patients with gastric metastatic cancer at 7-10 months. However, this benefit could not be reproduced in those patients with PC.

Presentation Of Case: A 43-year-old female patient presented with an abdominal tumor.
Background: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma that affects elderly patients and typically arises in sun-exposed skin. The disease is very rare and only few cases present with no apparent skin lesion. In the retroperitoneum there are only two cases reported in the literature.

Purpose Of The Study: Our objective was to retrospectively study patients from our institution aged <30 years with gastric carcinoma.
Lung metastasectomy is an area of interest and controversy in surgical oncology. Most of the available evidence derives from small cohorts with short follow-up. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oncologic outcomes in an 18-year cohort from a single center.

The frequency of Marjolin's ulcer is low and represents between 2 and 5% of all squamous cell carcinomas of the skin. This condition is found three times more frequently in men than in women and is thought to be more aggressive than conventional squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.

- A critical review highlights recent studies on intradialytic parenteral nutrition (IDPN) for malnourished hemodialysis patients.
- The effectiveness of IDPN as a treatment option for these patients is confirmed.
- It stresses the importance of regular monitoring to address malnutrition in this high-risk group.
