Background: While solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas are oncologically low-risk tumors, their resection with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or partial pancreatectomy (PP) carries a significant risk for morbidity. To balance the favorable prognosis with the surgical morbidity of pancreas resection, this study explores the oncologic safety of enucleation (EN).

Patients And Methods: The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for resected SPT from January 2004 through December 2020.

Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM) frequently involves the kidneys, resulting in acute, subacute, or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patient- and treatment-related factors are associated with the long-term development of CKD. The aim of our study was to examine the association of serum free light chain (FLC) levels, measured at the time of diagnosis of MM, and CKD at subsequent follow-up.
