Background/aims: Biliary obstruction drainage in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with symptom palliation, improved access to chemotherapy, and improved survival. Stent placement and exchange via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography biliary drainage risk traversing the HCC, a hypervascular tumor and causing bleeding. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) potentially prevents procedure-related bleeding.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has demonstrated both efficacy and safety in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, its applicability in individuals with liver cirrhosis remains largely unexplored due to the potential for unpredictable complications. Here, we report three cases (P1, P2, and P3) of relapsed/refractory DLBCL with HBV-related cirrhosis treated with CAR-T cell infusion.

Background: The feasibility and outcomes of salvage endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and ESD for metachronous esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) inside the irradiated field are not clear.
Aims: To explore the viability of ESD for ESCC in areas previously exposed to radiation, identify elements hindering successful ESD, assess prognosis, and elucidate considerations for follow-up.
Methods: Patients with ESCC who underwent salvage ESD or ESD for metachronous ESCC within the previously irradiated field at Kanagawa Cancer Center between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2023, were retrospectively investigated to evaluate patient and lesion characteristics and short- and long-term outcomes.

Introduction: We describe a method of robotic ureterocalicostomy (RALUC) with the Da Vinci Single Port (SP) platform and present clinical outcomes in our cohort of patients.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing RALUC with the SP platform in a single-institution, IRB-approved database between 2020-2023. Demographics, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative outcomes were collated.
