Introduction: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications (PoCs) and risk prediction of these is therefore critical for optimal treatment planning. We hypothesize that novel deep learning network approaches through transfer learning may be superior to legacy approaches for PoC risk prediction in the PDAC surgical setting.

Methods: Data from the US National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) 2002-2018 were used, with a total of 5,881,881 million patients, including 31,728 PD patients.

Introduction: Despite the benefits of surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), over 30 % of patients fail to complete adjuvant oncological treatment. Whether postoperative complications affect chemotherapy completion rates and overall survival remains uncertain. We hypothesized that postoperative complications would be associated with chemotherapy delays, omission, and reduced overall survival (OS).

Article Synopsis
  • Sarcopenia, a loss of muscle mass and strength, is linked to higher postop complications in cancer patients, but diagnostic standards vary, complicating effective use in clinical settings.
  • This study involved 134 patients set for pancreatic surgeries, assessing body composition and muscle strength using various methods (like CT and DXA scans) to classify them as sarcopenic.
  • Results showed that 7% of patients classified as sarcopenic via international standards faced more major complications, indicating the importance of consistent diagnostic criteria in predicting surgical outcomes.

Introduction: Distal Cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) represents a challenge in hepatobiliary oncology, that requires nuanced post-resection prognostic modeling. Conventional staging criteria may oversimplify dCCA complexities, prompting the exploration of novel prognostic factors and methodologies, including machine learning algorithms. This study aims to develop a machine learning predictive model for recurrence after resected dCCA.
