Background: Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) aim to assess medical students' clinical skills rather than just their theoretical knowledge. We propose a study between the learning style of second-cycle medical students and their performance in OSCEs.

Methods: During their internship at our hospital, students were invited to complete the LSQ-Fa, a questionnaire designed to identify their preferences among 4 learning styles: active, reflective, theoretical, and pragmatic.

Objective: T cells are major effectors of the antitumoural immune response. Their activation by tumour-associated antigens can unleash their proliferation and cytotoxic functions, leading to tumour cell elimination. However, tumour-related immunosuppressive mechanisms including the overexpression of immune checkpoints like programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), are also engaged, promoting immune escape.

Introduction: Endoscopic resection is a standard-of-care for early esophageal neoplasia. Early gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) can be safely managed by endoscopic resection, if the early SRCC is limited to the mucosa and less than 15mm, with a low lymph node metastasis rate. It is not known if esophageal signet ring cell carcinoma is amenable to endoscopic resection.

The incidence of liver metastasis in digestive neuroendocrine tumors is high. Their presence appears as an important prognostic factor in terms of quality of life and survival. These tumors may be symptomatic because of the tumor burden itself and/or the hormonal hyper-secretion induced by the tumor.

Article Synopsis
  • * Lynch syndrome results from mutations in DNA repair genes (like MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2) or the EPCAM gene and requires special monitoring if a mutation is found.
  • * The French National Cancer Institute recommends testing for MMR system failure in certain CRC and endometrial cancer cases, emphasizing the importance of identifying patients for genetic counseling and family screening.

Endoscopic decompression of bile duct stenosis in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma (CC) may be difficult due to localization of the tumor, but it is important for pursuing oncologic treatment afterwards. Besides the initial diagnosis, jaundice and cholangitis are the most important indications for immediate endoscopic treatment. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is the favored approach for biliary access and stent placement.
