Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) have intra-tumour heterogeneity, notably regarding the Ki-67 index, which is a major prognostic factor. The temporal evolution of PanNET biology is poorly known. We aimed to study the prognostic impact of the temporal evolution of Ki-67 and other molecular markers (MEN1, ATRX/DAXX, PDX1/ARX) in PanNETs.

- Hepaticogastrostomy drainage via endoscopic ultrasound (EUS-HGS) has gained recognition since the 2010s as a reliable alternative for patients who experience failure of traditional endoscopic techniques in managing malignant biliary obstruction (MBO).
- A study involving 211 patients found that while many experienced adverse events and some faced recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO), the primary cause of mortality was due to the progression of their underlying cancer, not complications from the stenting procedure.
- The analysis indicated that using partially covered self-expandable metal stents significantly reduced the risk of RBO, and patients with distal blockages had better outcomes in terms of stent function.
Introduction: At the onset of the 20th century, ancient clinical observations of cancer epidemics in Bantu populations of Sub-Saharan Africa were discovered. They were reported from 1914 to 1960, but remained unexplained. In 1983, in San Francisco, Calif.
