Article Synopsis
- * Both methods had similar patient characteristics, but A-EP had a significantly higher en bloc resection rate (95.2% vs. 78.4%) and a lower recurrence rate (8.1% vs. 37.8%).
- * A-EP also suggested fewer instances of complications like pancreatitis and duct stricture, indicating it might be a more effective treatment option compared to C-EP.
Background: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor that is most commonly found in the pleura but can also originate from non-pleural sites. Among the non-pleural localizations, the pancreas is extremely rare. In particular, metastasis to the pancreas from the central nervous system (CNS) is extremely rare, with only two cases reported so far.

However, most results are based on limited data and short follow-up outcomes. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of endoscopic resection for d-NETs.

However, histopathologically similar tumors originating from the same organ are treated with identical or similar chemotherapeutic regimens regardless of patient characteristics or cancer subtypes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of organoids in predicting responses to chemotherapeutic agents.

- Duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare tumors that develop from neuroendocrine cells and can be challenging to diagnose accurately using standard biopsy methods.
- This study investigated the use of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) on 22 cases of duodenal NETs and found specific morphological patterns in these tumors, such as regular microsurface and microvascular patterns.
- The findings suggest that ME-NBI could help distinguish duodenal NETs from other subepithelial lesions, which may improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
