Successful curative treatment for a ruptured pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma by radical resection following modified FOLFIRINOX: a case report and literature review.

Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare pancreatic tumor type, and ruptured pancreatic tumors are rarer. Computed tomography (CT) in a 48-year-old man incidentally revealed a raptured pancreatic tail tumor. The patient was treated conservatively because he was asymptomatic, and his general condition was stable.

Comparison of Oncological and Perioperative Outcomes Between Self-Expanding Metal Stents and Decompression Tubes for Stages II and III Obstructive Colorectal Cancer: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Background: A bridge to surgery (BTS) using self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) is becoming the primary treatment for obstructive colorectal cancer (OCRC). In Japan, intestinal decompression was usually performed using decompression tubes (DTs). However, few reports have compared the outcomes of SEMS and DTs as BTS.
