Survival Trends in Patients with Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours-A Cohort Study in Central Norway.

Improved surgical resection and oncological treatment, or an earlier diagnosis may increase survival in small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs), but only few studies have examined survival trends. We aimed to examine the trend in overall survival and associated factors in SI-NET patients. All patients with SI-NETs at a regional hospital from June 2005 to December 2021 ( = 242) were identified, and the cohort was divided in half, constituting a first period (until November 2012) and a second period (from November 2012).

Response Evaluation after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Resectable Gastric Cancer.

Background: The method of response evaluation following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in resectable gastric cancer has been widely debated. An essential prerequisite is the ability to stratify patients into subsets of different long-term survival rates based on the response mode. Histopathological measures of regression have their limitations, and interest resides in CT-based methods that can be used in everyday settings.

Survival and Disease Recurrence in Patients with Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumours-A Single Centre Cohort.

Background: Duodenal neuroendocrine tumours (D-NETs) are rare but increasingly diagnosed. This study aimed to assess the overall survival and recurrence rate among patients treated for D-NETs.

Methods: Patients with D-NETs were retrospectively reviewed with a median follow-up time of 4.

The value of restaging CT following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for resectable gastric cancer. A population-based study.

Background: Response evaluation following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in gastric cancer is debated. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of UICC-downstaging as mode of response evaluation following a MAGIC-style regimen of NAC.

Methods: Retrospective, population-based study on consecutive patients with resectable gastric adenocarcinoma receiving NAC from 2007 to 2016.

Survival and disease recurrence in patients operated for small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors at a referral hospital.

Background And Objectives: Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) are slow growing but have frequently metastasized at the time of diagnosis. Most patients are operated with either curative intent or with intent to prolong overall survival. In the current study we have examined overall and disease-free survival in patients operated for SI-NETs.

Gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma after long-term use of proton pump inhibitor.

We present a case of a gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma in a patient with a history of long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use. A 49-year-old man using PPI for the last 15 years due to gastroesophageal reflux disease developed progressive dysphagia, dyspepsia and weight loss. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography and abdominal CT diagnosed a malignant tumor localized to a hiatal hernia.

[Eosinophilic gastroenteritis].

Background: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a disease that presents with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhoea. We here present an overview of the disease with an emphasis on practical management.

Material And Methods: The basis for the review is literature retrieved through a search in PubMed and on our own experience treating patients with this disease.

[3-D navigation in laparoscopic surgery].

Background: The main drawback with the laparoscopic approach is that the surgeon lacks the possibility to palpate vessels, tumours and organs during surgery. Furthermore, the laparoscope only provides a surface view of organs. There is a need for more advanced visualization that enhances the view to include information below the surface of the organs when the procedure is planned and for control and guidance during treatment.
