In Japan, 5 years have passed since the initiation of precision cancer medicine, and recent data accumulation in familial pancreatic cancer (FPC) and hereditary pancreatic cancer is outstanding. Multigene germline panel tests (MGPTs) have revealed that 7%-18% of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) harbor pathogenic germline variants (PGVs), almost equal to the levels of breast, ovarian, endometrial, and colorectal cancers, with a higher incidence in FPC (14%-26%). The majority of PGVs seen in PC patients are clinically actionable and associated with homologous recombination (HR) pathways (6%-10%, particularly BRCA1/2 in 5%-6%), and the clinical guidelines recommend or propose genetic testing for all PC patients.

Background: We performed a retrospective comparative study to clarify the optimal gallbladder drainage method prior to elective cholecystectomy.
Methods: We collected data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database about cholecystitis patients who underwent gallbladder drainage prior to cholecystectomy in a subsequent hospitalization between April 2014 and March 2020. We divided the study population into two groups: an endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS) group and a percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) group.

Introduction EUS-guided gall bladder drainage (EUS-GBD) for management of symptomatic gallbladder disease has been shown to be safe and effective in high surgical risk patients with data lacking in patients with cirrhosis. We sought to study the safety and effectiveness of EUS-GBD in cirrhotic compared to non-cirrhotic patients. Methods Retrospective review of patients who underwent EUS-GBD at four (3 US and 1 Spain) international tertiary care centers.

Cervical dilatation, uterine evacuation, and curettage (D&E&C) are common gynecological procedures for abortion, yet they carry risks of complications such as uterine perforation and intra-abdominal organ incarceration. Here, we report a rare case of a breastfeeding patient who had an embedded abdominal greater omentum in the anterior wall of the uterus and into the uterine cavity during D&E&C. We used combined hysteroscopic and laparoscopic treatment for this case and successfully removed the embedded greater omentum.
