Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of cyst volume and morphology in predicting malignancy in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN), specifically focusing on branch-duct (BD) and mixed-type cases while excluding solid pancreatic masses.
- A retrospective analysis of 106 patients showed that neither cyst volume nor elongation value significantly predicted malignancy, while features like contrast-enhancing mural nodules, main pancreatic duct size ≥ 5 mm, and elevated CA 19-9 serum levels were associated with a higher likelihood of cancer.
- The findings suggest that clinical attention should be redirected towards these specific imaging features rather than relying on volumetric analysis for assessing malignancy risk in patients with
Article Synopsis
- * MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in regulating gene expression and their dysfunction is linked to issues such as tumor growth and resistance to cell death.
- * The review focuses on the limited research regarding miRNAs as potential biomarkers for predicting how well HCC patients respond to TACE, incorporating radiological data and images from specific cases.
Background: Paraduodenal pancreatitis (PDP) is a particular form of chronic pancreatitis (CP) occurring in and around the duodenal wall. Despite its low prevalence, this rare condition presents a significant challenge in clinical practice.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed the electronic medical charts of all patients with a diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis and identified those with PDP, between January 1999 and December 2020.
Introduction: Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a disease that may mimic malignant pancreatic lesions both in terms of symptomatology and imaging appearance. The aim of the present study is to analyze experiences of surgery in patients with AIP in one of the largest European cohorts.
Patients And Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective study of patients diagnosed with AIP at the Department of Abdominal Diseases at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, between January 2001 and October 2020.
