Background: Since 2013, North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (NANETS) consensus-guidelines have endorsed consideration of surgical intervention for pancreatic- neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) with liver metastases.
Methods: Patients with non-functional PNET with liver only metastases from 2010 to 2019 were identified from the National Cancer Database.
Results: 34.7% underwent surgical intervention (13% PNET resection, 2.1% surgical management of liver metastases (SMLM), 19.5% PNET resection + SMLM). In multivariable analysis, government insurance, year of diagnosis>2013, increasing primary tumor size were associated with lower rate of surgical intervention. Receiving treatment at an academic center (OR 3.59, 95%CI 1.81-7.11; P < 0.001) or integrated cancer network (OR 3.21, 95%CI 1.57-6.54; P = 0.001) was associated with a higher rate of surgical intervention. The overall rate of surgical intervention decreased from 45.7% in 2010 to 23.0% in 2019.
Conclusion: Despite guideline recommendations and the suggested survival benefits, only one-third of patients underwent surgical intervention, potentially influenced by the rising utilization of systemic therapy in the past decade.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) exhibits a high incidence globally, with the liver being the most common site of distant metastasis. At the time of diagnosis, 20-30% of CRC patients already present with liver metastases. Colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is a major cause of mortality among CRC patients.

Purpose: Radionuclide-labeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) is an emerging tumor tracer. We sought to assess the uptake and diagnostic performance of F-FAPI-42 PET/CT compared with simultaneous 2-deoxy-2[F]fluoro-D-glucose (F-FDG) PET/CT in primary and metastatic lesions in patients with malignant digestive system neoplasms and to determine the potential clinical benefit.
Procedures: Forty-two patients (men = 30, women = 12, mean age = 56.

Introduction: Randomized phase III trials showed that using trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) in patients with pre-treated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) conferred survival benefit versus placebo. Here, we investigated the effectiveness and safety of FTD/TPI and sought to identify prognostic factors among the mCRC population in Hong Kong.
Methods: A non-interventional, retrospective, multicenter cohort study enrolled patients with mCRC who received FTD/TPI in seven public hospitals in Hong Kong between 2016 and 2020.

Background And Objectives: Little is known about the relationship between neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and perioperative morbidity for patients undergoing combined resection of rectal cancer and sLM. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of NAC on 30-day morbidity for patients who undergo combined resection of primary rectal cancer and sLM.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing combined resection of primary rectal cancer and sLM between 2016 and 2020 at participating NSQIP hospitals.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as the first-line treatment for driver-negative advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there is uncertainty regarding the availability and timing of ICI initiation in patients with NSCLC combined with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Additionally, the implementation of dual therapy for anti-TB and anti-tumor treatment poses significant challenges in terms of avoiding drug-drug interactions and reducing adverse reactions during clinical diagnosis and treatment.
