Background: Precision medicine is an innovative approach that integrates genomics, clinical informatics, and proteomics to address both genetic and environmental factors in disease prevention and treatment. This bibliometric study analyzes research trends, collaboration patterns, and the unique characteristics of precision medicine across countries to inform future research directions.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection (1999-2022) database to identify publications related to precision medicine.
Background: Cancer-specific survival in older patients with gastric cancer is competitively affected by death from other causes. This study aimed to investigate cancer-specific survival and associated risk factors by competing-risk analysis in older patients with gastric cancer.
Methods: The data of this study are from the SEER database, using univariable and multivariable analysis of competitive risk model to weaken the impact of competitive events, explore the risk factors of cancer-specific survival, and developed a nomogram model.
Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzes cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with multiple primary colorectal cancer (MPCC), using data from the SEER database to assess how death from other causes affects CSS.
- - It employs a competitive risk analysis to identify independent risk factors for CSS, finding that sex, TNM stage, and tumor grade are significant factors.
- - A nomogram model was created to predict CSS based on these risk factors, and its accuracy was validated through various statistical methods, offering clinicians a useful tool for personalized treatment planning.
Novel invagination procedure for pancreaticojejunostomy using double purse string sutures: A technical note.
World J Gastrointest Surg
December 2023
Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most serious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and the choice of pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) is considered a key factor affecting the occurrence of POPF. Numerous anastomotic methods and their modifications have been proposed, and there is no method that can completely avoid the occurrence of POPF. Based on our team's experience in pancreatic surgery and a review of relevant literature, we describe a novel invagination procedure for PJ using double purse string sutures, which has resulted in favourable outcomes.

However, no consensus exists on the optimal strategy for treating AAA when associated with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
