Article Synopsis
- International guidelines for imaging follow-up after pancreatic resection for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are inconsistent, leading to varied follow-up strategies globally.
- The study aimed to compare clinical outcomes, including treatment for recurrence and survival rates, between patients who received either symptomatic follow-up or routine imaging after PDAC surgery across 33 international centers.
- A total of 333 patients were analyzed, showing that 29% had symptomatic follow-up while 71% underwent routine imaging, with overall survival rates being examined through statistical methods to identify the impact of the follow-up strategy on patient outcomes.
A Preoperative Clinical Risk Score Including C-Reactive Protein Predicts Histological Tumor Characteristics and Patient Survival after Surgery for Sporadic Non-Functional Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: An International Multicenter Cohort Study.

Oncological survival after resection of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (panNEN) is highly variable depending on various factors. Risk stratification with preoperatively available parameters could guide decision-making in multidisciplinary treatment concepts. C-reactive Protein (CRP) is linked to inferior survival in several malignancies.

Most publications report isolated high-volume single-centre data. This Austrian multi-centre study on surgical management of pNENs provides a comprehensive real-life picture of quality indicators, recurrence-patterns, survival factors and systemic treatments.

More recently, case reports showed a positive effect of sacral nerve stimulation in patients with fecal incontinence following low anterior resection. The purpose of this study was to gain more information for this selected indication for sacral nerve stimulation through a nationwide survey.
