Diabetes and pancreatic cancer have an intricate relationship where each is a risk factor for developing the other. In case of type 2 diabetes, there is an increased probability of developing pancreatic cancer. Similarly, the onset of diabetes often precedes the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Since hyperglycemia is secondary to tumor involvement of the exocrine pancreas, diabetes is considered pancreatogenic. In the current classification, it is part of the entities belonging to type 3c diabetes. The pathophysiology is specific, characterized by a high glycemic variability and a tendency to weight loss. Early identification of inaugural type 3c diabetes would reduce diagnostic delays and could optimize oncologic management. In the absence of specific markers, the challenge for the clinician is indisputable.

Objective: To develop a predictive model for microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through radiomics analysis, integrating data from both enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 93 HCC patients who underwent partial hepatectomy. The gold standard for MVI was based on the histopathological diagnosis of the tissue.

Objective: The relationship among body mass index (BMI), postoperative complications, and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate this association using a meta-analysis.
Method: We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases up to February 25, 2024.

Background: Pancreatic cancer (PAC) has a complex tumor immune microenvironment, and currently, there is a lack of accurate personalized treatment. Establishing a novel consensus machine learning driven signature (CMLS) that offers a unique predictive model and possible treatment targets for this condition was the goal of this study.
Methods: This study integrated multiple omics data of PAC patients, applied ten clustering techniques and ten machine learning approaches to construct molecular subtypes for PAC, and created a new CMLS.
