Currently, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is usually performed even for resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (rPDAC). The present study investigated the benefits of NAC with gemcitabine plus S-1 for rPDAC. The medical records of 170 patients diagnosed as having rPDAC based on preoperative imaging were reviewed retrospectively.

Background: With the advent of improved chemotherapy options, neoadjuvant chemotherapy has gained acceptance as a multidisciplinary treatment approach for localized pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. This study aimed to clarify whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and S-1 influences preoperative nutritional status and postoperative outcomes, particularly in patients undergoing highly invasive pancreatic resection.

Methods: Patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy as upfront surgery or after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and S-1 between January 2015 and December 2022 were assessed.

Objectives: To examine the significance of tumor budding as a prognostic factor of resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) specimens after preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT).

Methods: Among 162 PDAC patients who underwent pancreatectomy after gemcitabine and S1-based CRT from 2012 to 2019, 131 were evaluated for tumor budding. Tumor buds were counted at the invasive front, where the degree of budding was the greatest (hematoxylin and eosin staining, ×20 magnification).

Background: Blood supply to the remnant stomach should be preserved during pancreatectomy in patients with a history of gastrectomy. Moreover, ischemic complications should be considered when performing pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) stenosis. However, whether these surgical procedures can be safely performed remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • * This case study details a female patient misdiagnosed with cervical adenocarcinoma, who eventually underwent multiple surgeries and chemotherapy after being correctly identified with urachal adenocarcinoma that spread to the bladder and vagina.
  • * The findings emphasize the need for thorough histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis and suggest that anterior pelvic exenteration may be an effective treatment for local recurrences of UrC, although more research is needed.
