AI Article Synopsis
- * Imaging tests, including CT, MRI, and FDG-PET, indicated the tumor was hyper-vascularized and likely a metastasis from her original RCC.
- * After performing a distal pancreatectomy, the tumor was confirmed as a metastatic pancreatic tumor, and the patient had a smooth recovery, remaining free of recurrence one month later.
Article Abstract
A 73-year-old woman underwent left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma(RCC). The computed tomography(CT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)revealed a 20-mm tumor in the pancreatic tale showing early enhancement in the arterial phase 16 years after surgery. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography(FDG-PET)showed slightly uptake (maximum standard uptake value: SUVmax 2.3)and EUS-FNA showed a hyper-vascularized tumor in the pancreatic tail. A single pancreatic metastasis from RCC was diagnosed, and we performed distal pancreatectomy. The histopathological diagnosis was a metastatic pancreatic tumor from RCC. The postoperative course was uneventful and 1 month after surgery, she is alive with no recurrence.

The expression of the transient receptor potential 1 (TRPA1) gene is increased in many solid tumours, and its function relates to inflammation, oxidative stress or the presence of toxic substances. However, little is known about the correlation of clinical parameters with patients' cancer stages, metastases and the degree of tumour infiltration by immune cells. We performed a bioinformatic analysis, using databases and public resources to investigate TRPA1 for many available samples.

Pancreatic cancer, with its poor prognosis, is frequently diagnosed in elderly patients who may be ineligible for surgery or chemoradiation due to age or comorbidities. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) offers a targeted approach by delivering precise, high-dose radiation to a limited volume in few fractions. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBRT in elderly pancreatic cancer patients.

Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive tumor with dismal prognosis. Neural invasion is one of the pathological hallmarks of pancreatic cancer. Peripheral nerves can modulate the phenotype and behavior of the malignant cells, as well as of different components of the tumor microenvironment, and thus affect tumor growth and metastasis.

The liver is one of the most common sites for the spread of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells, with metastases present in about 80% of patients. Clinical and preclinical studies of PDAC require quantification of the liver's metastatic burden from several acquired images, which can benefit from automatic image segmentation tools. We developed three neural networks based on U-net architecture to automatically segment the healthy liver area (HL), the metastatic liver area (MLA), and liver metastases (LM) in micro-CT images of a mouse model of PDAC with liver metastasis.

Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a minimally invasive surgical approach. Initially utilized for low-risk procedures, such as the resection of benign lesions, now LLR has evolved to include more complex operations such as metastatic lesions. We present in this article two cases with liver metastasis who underwent a successful two-stage total LLR: a 57-year-old man diagnosed with sigmoid cancer and liver metastasis and a 36-year-old man diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and liver metastasis.
