Pancreatic cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in both developed and developing countries. The incidence of pancreatic cancer in China accounts for about a quater of the global incidence, and the epidemiological characteristics and therapeutic strategies differ due to social, economic, cultural, environmental, and public health factors. Non-domestic guidelines do not reflect the clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment patterns of Chinese patients. Thus, in 2018, the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) organized a panel of senior experts from all sub-specialties within the field of pancreatic oncology to compile the Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. The guidelines were made based on both the Western and Eastern clinical evidence and updated every one or two years. The experts made consensus judgments and classified evidence-based recommendations into various grades according to the regional differences, the accessibility of diagnostic and treatment resources, and health economic indexes in China. Here we present the latest version of the guidelines, which covers the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of pancreatic cancer. The guidelines might standardize the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer in China and will encourage oncologists to design and conduct more clinical trials about pancreatic cancer.

Mitigating Postoperative Fistula Risks in Laparoscopic Pancreatic Enucleation: A Retrospective Study.
Ann Surg Oncol

Department of Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery, Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background: Pancreatic enucleation is a reliable surgical method for treating benign and borderline pancreatic tumors; however, the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is high, especially when the tumor is close to the main pancreatic duct. This study aimed to reduce the incidence of pancreatic fistula by preoperative placement of pancreatic stents and to summarize our center's experience with this procedure.
Methods: From June 2020 to July 2023, patients diagnosed with benign or borderline pancreatic tumors at Renji Hospital were included.

Objective: Splenectomy is regularly performed in total and distal pancreatectomy due to technical reasons, lymph node dissection and radicality of the operation. However, the spleen serves as an important organ for competent immune function, and its removal is associated with an increased incidence of cancer and a worse outcome in some cancer entities (Haematologica 99:392-398, 2014; Dis Colon Rectum 51:213-217, 2008; Dis Esophagus 21:334-339, 2008). The impact of splenectomy in pancreatic cancer is not fully resolved (J Am Coll Surg 188:516-521, 1999; J Surg Oncol 119:784-793, 2019).

Background: Biliary leakage is a serious complication of hepato-pancreato-biliary operations, increasing morbidity and mortality, and challenging clinicians.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the incidence of bilioenteric anastomotic leakage, treatment options, and their outcomes at a high-volume tertiary referral center.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the outcomes of patients who underwent biliary anastomosis formation between 2016 and 2021.

Nerves are often overlooked as key components of the tumor microenvironment. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the reciprocal interactions between tumors and nerves remain largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and identified a significant association between DKK1 expression and poor prognosis, as well as a correlation between DKK1 expression and myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) infiltration in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), two cancer types characterized by pronounced tumor-nerve interactions.
