Background: Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas has been frequently reported in the past two decades. Surgery remains the treatment of choice, with the liver being the most frequent site of metastases.
Aims: The study aimed to present an option of surgical treatment for an 18-year-old female patient with a solid lesion in the body and tail of the pancreas associated with metastatic lesions in both hepatic lobes.
Methods: Two surgical procedures were scheduled. In the first procedure, body-caudal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was performed, associated with the resection of three lesions of the liver's left lobe. A right hepatectomy was performed 6 months later, progressing without complications.
Results: The patient continues without clinical complaints on the last return, and abdominal magnetic resonance performed 28 months after the second procedure does not show liver or abdominal cavity lesions.
Conclusions: The knowledge on the biological behavior of tumors, evolution, and recurrence risks allows the indication of more rational surgical techniques that best benefit patients.

Objective: The clinical benefits of neoadjuvant bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in locally advanced gastric cancer patients are controversial. This study intended to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in these patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 71 locally advanced gastric cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant bevacizumab plus chemotherapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone were divided into bevacizumab plus chemo group (N = 23) and chemo group (N = 48).
Radiofrequency ablation combined with immunotherapy to treat hepatocellular carcinoma: a comprehensive review.

Background And Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly immunogenic tumor and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide with an increasing incidence. Therefore, the combination of immunotherapy with other approaches, such as anti-angiogenic agents and local area therapy, has become a new strategy for HCC treatment.
Methods: We searched PubMed and Web of Science and extracted publications relating to the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and immunotherapy.
NIPAL1 as a prognostic biomarker associated with pancreatic adenocarcinoma progression and immune infiltration.

First Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, China.
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a highly malignant tumor in the digestive system, with an increasing incidence and mortality rate globally. Recent genetic studies have revealed that the abnormal expression and functional dysregulation of various genes are involved in the occurrence and progression of pancreatic cancer. NIPA-like proteins (NIPAs) are expressed in a variety of cancer types, yet the role of NIPAL1 in cancer remains unclear.

Background: Early detection and diagnosis of cancer are vital to improving outcomes for patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) models have shown promise in the early detection and diagnosis of cancer, but there is limited evidence on methods that fully exploit the longitudinal data stored within electronic health records (EHRs). This review aims to summarise methods currently utilised for prediction of cancer from longitudinal data and provides recommendations on how such models should be developed.
