Background: This article summarizes the French intergroup guidelines regarding rectal adenocarcinoma (RA) management published in September 2023, available on the French Society of Gastroenterology website.

Methods: This work was supervised by French medical and surgical societies involved in RA management. Recommendations were rated from A to C according to the literature until September 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • The 2023 SFR data challenge aimed to encourage researchers to create AI models for detecting pancreatic masses and determining if they are benign or malignant using abdominal CT scans.
  • A total of 1,037 CT examinations were gathered from 18 French centers, organized into training and evaluation sets, with teams composed of radiologists, data scientists, and engineers participating in the analysis.
  • The challenge involved 10 teams and showed promising results, with AI demonstrating potential in identifying pancreatic lesions from real data, although distinguishing between benign and malignant masses remains challenging.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the capabilities of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating between lipid-poor adrenal adenoma (LPAA) and adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC).

Materials And Methods: Patients of two centers who underwent surgical resection of LPAA or ACC after multiparametric MRI were retrospectively included. A training cohort was used to build a diagnostic algorithm obtained through recursive partitioning based on multiparametric MRI variables, including apparent diffusion coefficient and chemical shift signal ratio (i.

Abdominal cancers continue to pose daily challenges to clinicians, radiologists and researchers. These challenges are faced at each stage of abdominal cancer management, including early detection, accurate characterization, precise assessment of tumor spread, preoperative planning when surgery is anticipated, prediction of tumor aggressiveness, response to therapy, and detection of recurrence. Technical advances in medical imaging, often in combination with imaging biomarkers, show great promise in addressing such challenges.
