Background: Several scores have been developed to stratify the risk of graft loss in controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD). However, their performance is unsatisfactory in the Spanish population, where most cDCD livers are recovered using normothermic regional perfusion (NRP). Consequently, we explored the role of different machine learning-based classifiers as predictive models for graft survival.

Methods: We included adult patients who underwent a liver transplantation (LT) in Belgium between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2022 for ALD.
Effects of the superior mesenteric artery approach versus the no-touch approach during pancreatoduodenectomy on the mobilization of circulating tumour cells and clusters in pancreatic cancer (CETUPANC): randomized clinical trial.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates two surgical approaches (no-touch vs. superior mesenteric artery) in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, focusing on circulating tumor cells during surgery.
- *Patients were randomly assigned to each group, and samples were taken to measure tumor cell activity at different surgical stages.
- *Results showed no significant differences in tumor cell mobilization or metastasis-free survival between the two approaches, but patients with tumor cell clusters mobilized during surgery had a higher rate of distant metastases within the first year.
