Harnessing the power of AI in precision medicine: NGS-based therapeutic insights for colorectal cancer cohort.

Purpose: Developing innovative precision and personalized cancer therapeutics is essential to enhance cancer survivability, particularly for prevalent cancer types such as colorectal cancer. This study aims to demonstrate various approaches for discovering new targets for precision therapies using artificial intelligence (AI) on a Polish cohort of colorectal cancer patients.

Methods: We analyzed 71 patients with histopathologically confirmed advanced resectional colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Analysis of Factors Determining Spleen Preservation during Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy - A Cohort Study.

Background: Spleen preservation during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LSPDP) should be pursued if safe and oncologically justified. The aim of the presented study was to compare surgical outcomes and identify risk factors for unplanned splenectomy during laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and evaluate short and long-terms outcomes.

Methods: The following study is a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, with the intention of preserving the spleen, for benign tumors of the body and tail of the pancreas between August 2012 and December 2022.

Laparoscopic radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) for adenocarcinoma of the body and tail of the pancreas - technical considerations with analysis of surgical outcomes.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to establish whether laparoscopic RAMPS (L-RAMPS) is a safe procedure with better oncological outcomes compared to laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) with splenectomy among patients with distal pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Methods: This is a retrospective study performed on consecutive patients who underwent L-RAMPS and LDP with splenectomy for resectable or borderline resectable PDAC of the body and tail. In this paper, we presented our technique of laparoscopic RAMPS and analyzed intraoperative and perioperative complications, oncological efficacy, and long-term survival.

Splenectomy and tumor size are risk factors for serious perioperative morbidity of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomies.

<b><br>Introduction:</b> The determinants influencing the risk for complications of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomies (LDP) are not yet fully defined, thus we aimed to determine risk factors for serious perioperative morbidity after LDP with spleen preservation, LDP and radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy for adenocarcinoma of the body and tail of the pancreas (RAMPS).</br> <b><br>Material and methods:</b> Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients that underwent LDP between January 2019 and December 2022. The study group included cases of serious perioperative morbidity (III-V grades in Clavien-Dindo classification) during a 30-day period after operation.

Initial experience with laparoscopic revisional single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI-S) after failed sleeve gastrectomy.

Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is currently the most commonly performed bariatric operation, but re-do surgery may be necessary in up to half of the patients. Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI-S) is quickly gaining recognition as a revisional procedure after failed SG.

Aim: To discuss the surgical technique and analyze initial outcomes after introduction of SADI-S after SG with 1-year follow-up.

Creating an Innovative Artificial Intelligence-Based Technology (TCRact) for Designing and Optimizing T Cell Receptors for Use in Cancer Immunotherapies: Protocol for an Observational Trial.

Background: Cancer continues to be the leading cause of mortality in high-income countries, necessitating the development of more precise and effective treatment modalities. Immunotherapy, specifically adoptive cell transfer of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cells (TCR-T therapy), has shown promise in engaging the immune system for cancer treatment. One of the biggest challenges in the development of TCR-T therapies is the proper prediction of the pairing between TCRs and peptide-human leukocyte antigen (pHLAs).

Laparoscopic pancreatectomies for borderline tumors with major venous resections.

Introduction: Resection of the portal vein or superior mesenteric vein infiltrated by the pancreatic cancer is currently a standard during open pancreatic surgery for cancer. When found intraoperatively it often leads to conversion. Nowadays, research data for laparoscopic pancreatectomies with major venous resections and reconstructions are scarce.
