Objectives: Time trends in the incidence of pancreatic cancer vary considerably between countries. The aim of this study was to provide time trends in incidence during a 25-year period in a well-defined French population.
Methods: The cancer registry in Burgundy (France) was used to study time trends between 1981 and 2005 by sex, age, subsite, and histology. They were analyzed using an age-period cohort model.
Results: Age-standardized incidence rates increased from 5.7 (1981-1985) to 7.9 per 100,000 (2001-2005) in men and from 2.6 to 4.6 in women. The mean percentage of variation by the 5-year period was +9.9% (P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval, 6.2%-13.6%) and +13.4% (P = 0.004, 95% confidence interval, 9.4%-17.5%), respectively. The increase in incidence was higher for cancers of the tail and corpus than for cancers of the head of pancreas and for malignant pancreatic endocrine tumors than for adenocarcinomas. The cumulative risk of developing a pancreatic cancer rose from 0.51% for men born in 1900 to 1.13% for those born in 1950. It was 0.34% and 0.55% for women, respectively.
Conclusions: The incidence of pancreatic cancer has increased sharply in France both by period and by birth cohort. Etiological studies are required to explain the increase in the incidence.

Cancer survivors have an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared to the general population. Patients treated with cisplatin, a common chemotherapeutic agent, are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes than age- and sex-matched controls. Surprisingly, the impact of cisplatin on pancreatic islets has not been reported.

Organoid technology provides a transformative approach to understand human physiology and pathology, offering valuable insights for scientific research and therapeutic development. Human gastric organoids, in particular, have gained significant interest for applications in disease modeling, drug discovery, and studies of tissue regeneration and homeostasis. However, the lack of standardized quality control has limited their extensive clinical applications.

Background: Complex surgery during initial cancer treatment can limit surgical options when planning management of a secondary malignancy. Subtotal esophagectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy are the most invasive and difficult procedures in gastroenterological surgery. Surgical cases in which subtotal esophagectomy was performed after pancreatoduodenectomy with pancreaticogastrostomy are extremely rare and challenging procedures due to the resulting complicated anatomical changes.

Cancer, a complicated disease characterized by aberrant cellular metabolism, has emerged as a formidable global health challenge. Since the discovery of abnormal aldolase A (ALDOA) expression in liver cancer for the first time, its overexpression has been identified in numerous cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC), breast cancer (BC), cervical adenocarcinoma (CAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer (GC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic cancer adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Moreover, ALDOA overexpression promotes cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and drug resistance, and is closely related to poor prognosis of patients with cancer.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is projected to be the second leading cause of cancer-related death by 2030. Early identification is rare, with a 5-year overall survival (OS) of less than 10%. Advances in the understanding of PDAC tumor biology are needed to improve these outcomes.
