External Validation of the ISGPS Complexity Grading System for Minimally Invasive Pancreatoduodenectomy: Insights from the IGOMIPS registry.

Objective: To validate the ISGPS complexity grading system for minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD).

Background: Although concerns about patient safety persist, MIPD is gaining popularity. The ISGPS recently introduced a difficulty grading system to improve patient selection by aligning procedural complexity with surgeon and center expertise.

Bayesan Model to Predict R Status After Neoadjuvant Therapy in Pancreatic Cancer.

Objective: To build a Bayesian approach-based model to predict the success of surgical exploration post-neoadjuvant treatment.

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PDAC) is best treated with radical surgery and chemotherapy, offering the greatest chance of survival. Surgery after neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) is indicated in the absence of progression, knowing the limits in accurately predicting resectability with traditional radiology.

Personalized nutrition after discharge for pancreatic surgery: A study protocol.

Pancreatic cancer has an increasing incidence and prevalence trend. Its prognosis is negatively affected by poor/altered nutritional status. Therefore, nutritional interventions play a critical/pivotal role at any stage.

Preoperative chemo-CIRT in Re/BRe pancreatic cancer: Insights from a multicenter prospective phase II clinical study (NCT03822936).

Purpose: There is debate about the optimal management of borderline resectable (bRe) and resectable (Re) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Both preclinical and clinical evidence showed that carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) produces superior control on radioresistant histologies compared to conventional photon beam radiotherapy (RT). However, so far there is a lack of data concerning the integration of CIRT in a multimodal approach with chemotherapy and surgery for bRe/Re.
