We recently cared for a patient with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas who presented with ureteral metastasis followed by hydroureteronephrosis long before the appearance of any symptoms related to the primary lesion. The entity is extremely rare; only seven similar cases are on record in the scientific literature. No recent review exists on this topic. This encouraged us to present our case along with the previous cases of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas with ureteral metastasis that have been reported.

Repurposing of Metformin to Improve Survival Outcomes in Patients With Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma.
Cancer Med
January 2025
Department of Urology, Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Purpose: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) presents a higher incidence rate in Taiwan compared to Western societies. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of metformin in improving survival outcomes for patients with UTUC in Taiwan.
Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 940 patients with UTUC and type 2 diabetes from the Taiwan UTUC Collaboration Group, spanning 21 hospitals from July 1988 to September 2023.
Evaluating the efficacy of low-kV X-ray intraoperative radiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer: a retrospective cohort study.
Quant Imaging Med Surg
December 2024
Department of General Surgery, The Second Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, China.
Background: Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) treated with surgery have a high risk of local recurrence. Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a promising method for treating locally advanced solid tumors, but there is limited research on the efficacy of IORT in treating LARC. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of low-kV X-ray IORT in the treatment of LARC.

BMC Med Imaging
December 2024
Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, 55 Zhenhai Road, Xiamen, 361000, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Exploring the computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/CT Multimodal Imaging Characteristics of Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT) to enhance the diagnostic proficiency of this condition.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data and multimodal imaging manifestations (CT, MRI, FDG-PET/CT) of eight cases of DSRCT. These findings were systematically compared with pathological results to succinctly summarize imaging features and elucidate their associations with both clinical and pathological characteristics.
The Long-Term Functional and Oncologic Outcomes of Kidney-Sparing Surgery in Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma.
Ann Surg Oncol
February 2025
Biostatistics Group, Department of Medical Research, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan.
Background: This study investigated the utilization of kidney-sparing surgery (KSS) as an alternative option to radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) in managing upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients.
Objective: Our study aimed to compare the functional outcomes and oncological outcomes between KSS and RNU.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 252 patients with UTUC without clinical node positivity or metastasis who had been treated with either RNU or KSS.

BMC Urol
November 2024
Department of Urology, Pediatric Urology and Andrology, Justus-Liebig University of Giessen, Giessen, Germany.
Purpose: Robotic surgery is increasingly utilized in the treatment of urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract (UTUC). This study investigates the advantages and burden of robot-assisted surgical treatment of the urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract in a referral urological department, along with their functional and oncological results.
Methods: The study included 66 prospectively enrolled patients who were surgically treated by a single, robotically specialized surgeon between July 2019 and December 2023.
