Introduction: Biopsy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may help with selecting appropriate chemotherapy with inconclusive imaging; concern about potential seeding may limit its use.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted to assess the risk of tumor seeding with biopsy of HCC excluding nonliver cancers or seeding after interventions.
Results: A total of 2,339 unique abstracts were identified; 37 studies were included in the final analysis.
Background & Aims: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related adverse events (AEs) are associated with morbidity, mortality, and health care expenditure. We aimed to assess incidences and comparisons of ERCP AEs.
Methods: We included studies performed after 2000 reporting on ERCP AEs from database inception through March 12, 2024.

(1) Background: Prognostication in patients with cancer receiving palliative radiotherapy remains a challenge. To improve the process, we aim to identify prognostic factors in this population from the literature and offer evidence-based recommendations on prognostication in patients undergoing palliative radiotherapy for non-curable or advanced cancers. (2) Methods: A systematic review was performed on the medical literature from 2005 to 2023 to extract papers on the prognosis of palliative radiotherapy patients with advanced cancer.

- * Nine interventions significantly improved ADR, including techniques like dual observation and water exchange, as well as technologies such as i-SCAN and linked color imaging.
- * Despite these improvements, no interventions showed a benefit for detecting advanced adenomas; however, narrow-band imaging was effective in detecting serrated lesions.
