Pancreatic Well-Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors are Frequently Undergraded on Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Biopsy Sampling: A Single Institutional Experience.

. To determine the accuracy of grading pancreatic well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) on endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB). .

Clinicopathologic findings in a cohort of metastases to the stomach.

Aims: Metastatic tumors to the stomach can mimic primary gastric adenocarcinoma or be subtle and difficult to identify. The current study aimed to characterize the clinicopathology of metastases to the stomach to aid in diagnosis.

Methods And Results: Forty-three metastatic tumors and 30 primary gastric adenocarcinoma cases were reviewed.

Analysis of the Application of Professional Society Screening Guidelines for Colorectal Polyposis Syndromes at a Single Institution.

Several professional society guidelines suggest germline genetic testing for colorectal polyposis syndromes in patients with ≥10 lifetime adenomatous polyps. This study evaluated the factors associated with genetic testing decisions and outcomes when germline testing was recommended per guidelines. Surgical archives revealed 145 patients with a recommendation for germline genetic polyposis testing based on guidelines.

Clinical Relevance of Cancerization of Ducts in Resected Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

Objectives: Although prevalent in 50%-90% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas, the clinical relevance of "cancerization of ducts" (COD) remains unknown.

Methods: Pathologists retrospectively reviewed slides classifying prevalence of COD. Histopathological parameters, location of first recurrence, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) were collected from the institutional pancreatectomy registry.
