[Hepato-pericardial fistula caused by radiofrequency ablation of colorectal liver metastases].

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of colorectal liver metastases is a well tolerated minimally invasive procedure. Various complications can occur but most of these are self-limiting if diagnosed and treated in time. This case report describes a serious and rare complication following RFA treatment: hepato-pericardial fistula caused by several RFA procedures aiming to cure colorectal liver metastases.

Candida infection and cancer risk: a Danish nationwide cohort study.

Background: Candida species infection may be associated with increased cancer risk.

Methods: We linked data from the nationwide medical registries and examined the incidence of various cancers in patients with a first-time hospital presentation with candida infection. We computed the cumulative incidence of cancer and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of cancer overall, immune-related cancers, and specific cancer types by comparing observed versus expected incidences based on age-, sex-, and anatomical site-specific incidence rates.
