Background: Recent guidelines advise to subtype adenocarcinoma at the ampulla and papilla of Vater (here: ampullary cancer) as intestinal, pancreatobiliary, and mixed, because this has consequences for both prognosis and treatment. This nationwide study aimed to investigate how often histopathological subtyping is performed in daily clinical practice in patients with ampullary cancer.
Methods: Pathology reports of all patients with ampullary cancer were retrieved from the Dutch nationwide pathology database (PALGA, 1991-2020).
Background: Surgical outcome after pancreatoduodenectomy for duodenal adenocarcinoma could differ from pancreatoduodenectomy for other cancers, but large multicenter series are lacking. This study aimed to determine surgical outcome in patients after pancreatoduodenectomy for duodenal adenocarcinoma, compared with other periampullary cancers, in a nationwide multicenter cohort.
Methods: After pancreatoduodenectomy for cancer between 2014 and 2019, consecutive patients were included from the nationwide, mandatory Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Audit.
Background: Duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) and intestinal-type papilla of Vater adenocarcinoma (it-PVA) are rare malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract. Current therapeutic options are translated nowadays from treatment strategies for patients with colorectal cancer due to histopathological similarities.
Aim: To retrospectively investigate the clinical outcome of patients with DA and it-PVA.
Background: Duodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) is a rare tumor for which survival data per treatment modality and disease stage are unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to summarize the current literature on patient outcome after surgical, (neo)adjuvant, and palliative treatment in patients with DA.
Methods: A systematic search was performed according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines, to 25 April 2017.
Background: The incidence of smuggling and transporting of illegal drugs by internal concealment, also known as body packing, is increasing in the Western world. The objective of this study was to determine the outcome of conservative and surgical approaches in body packers.
Materials And Methods: Clinical data on body packers admitted to our hospital from January 2004 until December 2009 were collected.
