Background: Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is a major surgical procedure associated with significant risks, particularly postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Studies have highlighted the importance of certain risk factors for POPF, which are crucial for surgical decision-making and the management of high-risk patients undergoing PD. This study aimed to assess the surgical outcomes of patients undergoing PD who met the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery - Class D (ISGPS-D) criteria.
Methods: This study analyzed American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data (2014-2021) for patients undergoing ISGPS-D PD, classified as having a soft pancreatic texture and a pancreatic duct of ≤3 mm. This study focused on mortality rates and the correlation between several factors and POPF (ISGPS grade B/C).
Results: From 5964 patients who underwent PD and met the ISGPS-D criteria, the 30-day mortality rate was 1.98%. Males had a higher incidence of POPF than females (57.42% vs 47.35%, respectively; P < .001). Patients with POPF experienced significantly higher rates of major postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ IIIa), including thrombosis, pneumonia, sepsis, delayed gastric emptying, wound disruption, infections, and acute renal failure. There was a marked increase in the 30-day readmission and mortality rates in patients with POPF (30.0% vs 17.6% and 3.2% vs 1.4%, respectively; all P < .001). Multivariate analysis highlighted female sex as a protective factor against mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.47; P < .001) and extended hospital stay (>10 days) as a predictor of increased mortality risk (OR, 2.37; P < .001).
Conclusion: This study underscored the significant association between POPF and increased postoperative morbidity and mortality rates. Future efforts should concentrate on refining surgical techniques and improving preoperative assessments to mitigate the risks associated with POPF in patients undergoing PD.

Alarmins are a class of molecules released when affected cells damaged or undergo apoptosis. They contain various chemotactic and immunomodulatory proteins or peptides. These molecules regulate the immune response by interacting with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and play important roles in inflammatory response, tissue repair, infection defense, and cancer treatment.

Background: Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) represent a promising approach for replicating the characteristics of original tumors and facilitating drug testing for personalized treatments across diverse cancer types. However, clinical evidence regarding their application to esophageal cancer remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of implementing PDOs in clinical practice to benefit patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
