Background: Bladder exstrophy occurs in approximately 1 in 35,000 live births and is associated with an increased incidence of bladder cancer.
Case Presentation: A 55-year old male patient was diagnosed with a primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of an unreconstructed exstrophic bladder. Examination of the entire gastrointestinal tract shown there were not other primary cites. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the nature of the tumour. The patient underwent a radical cystoprostatectomy with en block bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, urinary diversion with a cutaneous ureterostomy and epidpadias repair.
Conclusion: Adult bladder exstrophy and epispadia correction is a very rare practice in urology due the fact that this congenital disease is diagnosed and corrected in neonates. We advocate the radical surgical management, after exclusion of any primary malignant sites related to the gastrointestinal tract.

Background: Multiple management guidelines for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) have been published to improve risk stratification and resource utilization. This study aims to evaluate trends in endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) use and agreement between cross-sectional imaging and EUS for specific pancreas cystic lesion (PCL) features.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive adults undergoing EUS for suspected IPMN detected with cross-sectional imaging (CT/MRCP) between 2013 and 2015 (Cohort 1) and 2018-2020 (Cohort 2).

Mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is the most common germ cell tumor of the ovary, comprising 20% of all ovarian neoplasms. Malignant transformation (MT) is an uncommon complication and occurs in approximately 1-3% of all MCTs. The most common histological type of MT is squamous cell carcinoma.

Introduction: Recent studies have shown an increase in the prevalence of early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) in people aged 20-49 compared to those aged 50-74, with a more rapid increase in the younger age groups. Poorly differentiated, left-sided, and rectal tumors were more common in young adults than in older adult CRC patients. We aimed to improve the understanding of early-onset CRC and to guide primary care physicians on strategies to mitigate its impact.

Introduction: This study evaluated the efficacy of radiomic analysis with optimal volumes of interest (VOIs) on computed tomography images to preoperatively differentiate invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) from non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (non-IMA) in patients with incidental pulmonary nodules (IPNs).
Methods: This multicenter, large-scale retrospective study included 1383 patients with IPNs, 110 (8%) of whom were pathologically diagnosed with IMA postoperatively. Radiomic features were extracted from multi-scale VOI subgroups (VOI, VOI, VOI , and VOI ).
Biomarker Discovery for Early Detection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) Using Multiplex Proteomics Technology.

Early detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can improve survival but is hampered by the absence of early disease symptoms. Imaging remains key for surveillance but is cumbersome and may lack sensitivity to detect small tumors. CA19-9, the only FDA-approved blood biomarker for PDAC, is insufficiently sensitive and specific to be recommended for surveillance.
