Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer as a novel predictor of early recurrence after resection for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently recurs after radical resection, resulting in a poor prognosis. This study assessed the prognostic value of Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) for early recurrence (ER) in patients with HCC.

Methods: Patients who underwent radical resection for HCC between 2015 and 2021.

A case of difficult-to-diagnose hepatic reactive lymphoid hyperplasia finally diagnosed by using PCR analysis of IgH-gene rearrangements: a case report.

Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) of the liver is extremely rare. Despite advancements in diagnostic imaging technology, it is still difficult to distinguish from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, we present a case of hepatic RLH mimicking HCC that was postoperatively diagnosed using several imaging modalities.

Prognostic Impact of a Novel Albumin-Platelet Index as Selection Criterion for Hepatic Resection in Intermediate Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Background/aim: Hepatic resection for Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B (intermediate-stage) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is not recommended by BCLC treatment algorithms. We sought to develop a new prognostic model for determining appropriate treatment strategies in patients with intermediate-stage HCC.

Patients And Methods: This single-center retrospective study included patients who underwent hepatic resection for HCC between 2000 and 2018.

A novel combined carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio score can predict early recurrence of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) often recurs early after radical resection, which causes a poor prognosis. This study aimed to establish a scoring model to assess the optimal treatment in patients who underwent surgery for PDAC.

Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 127 patients who underwent radical resection for PDAC between 2005 and 2021.

Total pancreatectomy preserving the right gastroepiploic artery following proximal gastrectomy.

Total pancreatectomy (TP) after proximal gastrectomy (PG) requires more attention than ordinary TP during surgery in terms of the preservation of blood flow to the remnant stomach that was supplied via only the right gastric and gastroepiploic arteries. The current report presents the details of a case in which the remnant stomach was safely preserved when performing TP. A 74-year-old man who underwent PG for gastric cancer 17 years previously was diagnosed with pancreatic head cancer during follow-up for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreatic body and tail.
