Introduction: Gastrinoma is a rare tumour of the diffuse neuroendocrine system with the primary invariability located within the duodenum or pancreas. Numerous authors have described gastrinoma apparently isolated to peripancreatic lymph nodes, following exhaustive radiological and operative localisation and examination.
Method: Two cases of apparent primary lymph node gastrinoma seen in our institution are presented, along with a literature review including 58 other presented cases.
Results: On prolonged follow-up up to 131 months, 34 patients have remained in remission supporting the diagnosis of primary lymph node gastrinoma. Occult primary disease, usually in the form of microduodenal tumours, have become evident in the remaining 24 cases.
Conclusion: The existence of primary lymph node gastrinoma is supported by many presented case studies, but long-term follow-up of all patients should occur in the expectation that occult primary disease will become apparent in some.

mRNA delivered using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) has become an important subunit vaccine modality, but mechanisms of action for mRNA vaccines remain incompletely understood. Here, we synthesized a metal chelator-lipid conjugate enabling positron emission tomography (PET) tracer labeling of LNP/mRNA vaccines for quantitative visualization of vaccine trafficking in live mice and non-human primates (NHPs).

Diagnosis of nevoid melanoma (NeM) is often difficult because NeM closely resembles a common nevus clinically and histologically. A retrospective study was conducted on 110 patients diagnosed with and/or treated for primary nevoid melanoma at the Veneto Institute of Oncology and at the University Hospital of Padua from August 1999. Mean Breslow thickness was of 1.

: This study aims to evaluate whether the presence of isolated tumor cells (ITCs) correlates with specific stages of cutaneous melanoma, potentially shedding light on their prognostic significance and the paradoxical survival outcomes in stage IIIA. : This study analyzed cases of sentinel lymph node biopsies for cutaneous melanoma between 2021 and 2023. It included patients with CM diagnoses, available histological slides, and clinical information about the neoplasia stage.

Article Synopsis
- Organoids were created from a patient's primary tumor and metastatic lymph nodes, accurately mirroring the tumor's characteristics.
- Drug testing on these organoids showed distinct differences in how they responded to treatments based on their origin (primary vs. metastatic).
- This personalized approach to using organoids aids in making informed treatment decisions for gastric cancer, potentially improving patient outcomes.
