[Prognostic factors: Degree of subserosal invasion, tumor-serosal distance and subserosal elastic boundary invasion in colonic adenocarcinoma].

Unlabelled: The aim was to study the prognostic impact of tumor infiltration of the subserosa in colonic adenocarcinoma, by evaluating the degree of tumor infiltration in the subserosa (DISS), tumor-serosa distance (DTS), and invasion of the elastic boundary of the subserosa (ILE) after elastic fiber staining.

Material And Methods: All patients operated on for colonic adenocarcinoma classified as pT3 without lymph node or visceral metastasis operated on at the CHU d'Amiens between 2004 and 2017 were included. All slides were reviewed by 2 pathologists.

Liver disease in germline mutations of telomere-related genes: Prevalence, clinical, radiological, pathological features, outcome, and risk factors.

Background And Aim: Germline mutations of telomere-related genes (TRG) induce multiorgan dysfunction, and liver-specific manifestations have not been clearly outlined. We aimed to describe TRG mutations-associated liver diseases.

Approach And Results: Retrospective multicenter analysis of liver disease (transaminases > 30 IU/L and/or abnormal liver imaging) in patients with TRG mutations.

Comparison of the Risk of Crohn's Disease Postoperative Recurrence Between Modified Rutgeerts Score i2a and i2b Categories: An Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis.

Background: The modified Rutgeerts' score [RS] differentiates i2a-lesions confined to the anastomosis-and i2b-more than five aphthous ulcers in the neoterminal ileum with normal intervening mucosa, with or without anastomotic lesions-categories. Its relevance for the therapeutic management of Crohn's disease [CD] patients after ileocolic resection is still debated. Our objective was to compare the postoperative recurrence risk in patients with an i2a or i2b score, using an individual patient data meta-analysis.
