AI Article Synopsis
- Five patients with recurring or leftover bile duct cancer were treated using high-dose-rate intraluminal brachytherapy (HDRIBT) with a remote afterloader.
- In three of these cases, external radiotherapy was also administered alongside HDRIBT.
- HDRIBT is viewed as an effective radiation treatment option for patients dealing with residual or recurrent bile duct tumors.
Article Abstract
Five patients with recurrent or residual bile duct carcinoma after surgery were treated with high-dose-rate intraluminal brachytherapy (HDRIBT) using a remote afterloader. External radiotherapy was also given in three cases. HDRIBT is considered to be an effective mode of radiotherapy for residual or recurrent bile duct tumors.

Introduction: The coexistence of gallbladder (LSG) and adenomyomatosis (ADM) is extremely uncommon presenting a novel clinical dilemma that has not been previously documented. LSG refers to a anomaly where the gallbladder is situated to the left of the round ligament deviating from its usual position. This anomaly is rare, with reported occurrences ranging between 0.

Cardiogenic shock with bradycardia due to beta-blockers is well-documented; however, this condition in association with arotinolol is unreported. We present a case of cardiogenic shock resulting from delayed arotinolol clearance caused by bile duct obstruction. A man in his 60s presented to our hospital with jaundice.

Department of Medical Ultrasound, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, No.6 Shuangyong, Road, Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.
Objectives: To develop ultrasound-based radiomics models and a clinical model associated with inflammatory markers for predicting intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) lymph node (LN) metastasis. Both are integrated for enhanced preoperative prediction.
Methods: This study retrospectively enrolled 156 surgically diagnosed ICC patients.
Clinical impacts of Artocarpus lakoocha agglutinin-binding glycans for prognosis and treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, 40002, Thailand.
Artocarpus lakoocha agglutinin (ALA), which specifically targets the Gal/GalNAc components of complex glycans, was isolated from the seeds of Artocarpus lakoocha. This study is the first to explore the role of ALA in identifying aberrant glycans, designated ALA-binding glycans (ALAG), and its implications in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). ALA-histochemistry was used to evaluate ALAG expression in liver fluke-induced CCA tissues from hamsters (n = 60).

Given the increasing trend of cholecystectomy, it is imperative to reassess surgical and surveillance strategies in consideration of the potential long-term risks for digestive tract cancers. The objective of this study was to assess the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) and hepato-biliary-pancreatic (HBP) cancer incidence after cholecystectomy. The data for this cohort study was obtained from the National Health Insurance Service database in Korea.
