Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most lethal and common form of pancreatic cancer, it has no specific symptoms, and most of the patients are diagnosed when the disease is already at an advanced stage. Chemotherapy typically has only a modest effect, making surgery the most effective treatment option. However, only a small percentage of patients are amenable to surgery.

Background/objectives: Positive pancreatic juice cytology (PJC) is an important finding when considering surgical resection in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN); however, guidelines do not recommend endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for PJC. This study aimed to clarify the findings worthy of adding PJC for diagnosing high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and invasive carcinoma (IC) in patients with IPMN.
Methods: Patients with IPMN who underwent preoperative PJC and surgical resection at Hiroshima University Hospital were enrolled, and the diagnostic yield of malignant IPMN based on PJC and clinical and imaging findings and the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) were retrospectively analyzed.

(1) Background: To make recommendations on the most effective therapy options for Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast (DCIS) patients; (2) Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PROSPERO databases, and main relevant guideline websites were searched. Draft versions of the guideline went through formal internal and external reviews, with a final approval by the Program in Evidence Based Care and the DCIS Expert Panel. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach was followed; (3) Results: Based on the current evidence from the systematic review and this guideline authors' clinical opinions, initial draft recommendations were developed to improve the management of patients with DCIS.

Biliary and peribiliary cystic lesions represent a diverse group of abnormalities, often discovered incidentally during imaging for unrelated conditions. These lesions, typically asymptomatic, necessitate precise imaging modalities to characterize their nature and determine subsequent clinical actions, such as follow-up imaging, biopsy, or surgical referral. The anatomic location of these cystic lesions, whether biliary or peribiliary, influences both diagnostic and prognostic outcomes.

Advisability of humoral predictors (tumor markers, inflammatory markers, circulating leptin and branched-chain amino acids, etc.) is in identifying prognostic signs suitable for risk stratification of IPMN malignant transformation and, therefore, determining treatment strategy for a particular patient.
