Article Synopsis
- Advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has poor prognosis, but a study examines outcomes of patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC or EPIC).
- From 1995 to 2014, 116 patients were treated, revealing longer median survival for primary EOC (41.3 months) compared to recurrent EOC (27.3 months), with survival rates dropping significantly over 3 and 5 years.
- Key findings highlight that lower peritoneal cancer index (PCI) scores showed better survival rates, and both PCI and the timing of treatment (primary vs. recurrent) were important predictors of patient outcomes.
Somatostatinomas are extremely rare neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, first described in the pancreas in 1977 and in the duodenum in 1979. They may be functional and cause somatostatinoma or inhibitory syndrome, but more frequently are non-functioning pancreatic endocrine tumors that produce somatostatin alone. They are usually single, malignant, large lesions, frequently associated with metastases, and generally with poor prognosis.

We present a rare case of a 44-year-old woman with gastric ES presenting with epigastric pain and weight loss. Ultrasound and computed tomography scans indicated a solid/cystic mass in the pancreatic tail.
