Durable remission after ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease is achievable in selected patients. Long-term results of a prospective multicentric cohort study of the GETAID Chirurgie.

Background And Aims: Postoperative recurrence requiring medical treatment intensification or redo surgery is common after ileocolic resection (ICR) for Crohn's disease (CD). This study aimed to identify a subgroup of CD patients for whom ICR could achieve durable remission.

Methods: This retrospective follow-up study analyzed 592 CD patients who underwent ICR (2013-2015) in a nationwide prospective cohort.

Neuroendocrine tumor discovered in a teenager following asthma misdiagnosis.

Although relatively rare, neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) represent the most common type of endobronchial tumors in pediatric patients. Their clinical presentation lacks specificity, often leading to delayed diagnosis due to limited clinical suspicion. Mainly classified as low-grade malignant tumors (grade 1), they typically demonstrate favorable outcomes following surgical removal.

Reproductive functions and fertility preservation in transgender men: A French case series.

Background: Transgender men face reproductive challenges due to the potential impact on fertility of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and surgical interventions. Testosterone therapy during "female to male" transition leads to anovulation and amenorrhea. Although these effects are typically reversible upon stopping treatment, the long-term effects of androgens on future fertility and health of potential children remain poorly known.

Prevention of perioperative venous thromboembolism: 2024 guidelines from the French Working Group on Perioperative Haemostasis (GIHP) developed in collaboration with the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine (SFAR), the French Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (SFTH) and the French Society of Vascular Medicine (SFMV) and endorsed by the French Society of Digestive Surgery (SFCD), the French Society of Pharmacology and Therapeutics (SFPT) and INNOVTE (Investigation Network On Venous ThromboEmbolism) network.

Background: Any surgical procedure carries a risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), albeit variable. Improvements in medical and surgical practices and the shortening of care pathways due to the development of day surgery and enhanced recovery after surgery, have reduced the perioperative risk for VTE.

Objective: A collaborative working group of experts in perioperative haemostasis updated in 2024 the recommendations for the Prevention of perioperative venous thromboembolism published in 2011.

Cellular pattern and orbital fat involvement are possible risk factors for the failure of corticosteroids in patients with pure idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome: lessons from the French prospective cohort study (part II).

Purpose: To better characterise the effects of corticosteroids on the course of pure idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome (pIOIS).

Methods: This was a national, multicentre, prospective, non-interventional cohort study (). Among the 35 patients with histologically proven orbital inflammation who had previously been studied for their IgG4 immunostaining status, we selected those with a negative IgG4 status (ie, pIOIS) who received corticosteroids as single first-line treatment.

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a leading cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission in pancreatic cancer patients.

Aims: To analyze causes, ICU mortality and hemostatic treatment success rates of GI bleeding in pancreatic cancer patients requiring ICU admission.

Methods: Retrospective multicenter cohort study between 2009 and 2021.

Performances of preoperative CT scan to predict the pTN stage for MSI/dMMR localized colon cancers.

Background: Neoadjuvant immunotherapy emerges as a promising strategy for patients with localized colon cancer (CC) harboring microsatellite instability/mismatch repair deficiency (MSI/dMMR). The aim of this study is to evaluate the concordance between clinical cTN stage assessed by preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan and pTN stage of MSI/dMMR CC.

Patients And Methods: Consecutive patients diagnosed for localized MSI/dMMR CC and treated with upfront surgery between 2013 and 2022 in two French centers were eligible.

Mandibular revascularization using a humeral periosteal free flap: A technical note.

The vascularized periosteal free flap transposes a non-irradiated soft tissue with neoangiogenesis, bone induction, and osteogenesis qualities. A surgical technique using a humeral periosteal free flap is described for the treatment of recurrent osteoradionecrosis of the lower jaw. The humeral periosteal free flap is a technique associated with low morbidity.

Impact of primary endoscopic resection on oncological outcomes after esophagectomy for cancer: a retrospective propensity score-based cohort study.

Background: Esophageal cancer posed significant global health challenges, particularly due to poor survival rates, especially in advanced stages. Primary endoscopic resection had emerged as an alternative treatment for early esophageal cancer, aiming to preserve organ function and reduce surgical morbidity.

Methods: This retrospective multicenter cohort study included 334 patients with early esophageal cancer (T1a-b, N0) from 30 French-speaking European centers between 2000 and 2010.

[Breast cancer: Could we consider it as an occupational exposure disease?].

Objective: Breast cancer is the leading cancer in women in terms of incidence and mortality. The literature currently identifies several risk factors, some modifiable and others not. Because of its multifactorial nature, the combination of factors either increases or reduces the risk of cancer.

Revisiting GDF9 variants in primary ovarian insufficiency: A shift from dominant to recessive pathogenicity?

Background: Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) affects around 2-4% of women before the age of 40. Genetic factors play an important role in POI. The GDF9 gene has been identified as a significant genetic contributor of POI.

[RENAPE network: Towards more equitable access to care and expertise for patients with rare peritoneal cancers].

Since its creation in 2010, the progressive structuration of the RENAPE network (Réseau national de prise en charge des tumeurs rares du péritoine) supported by the "Institut national du cancer" and the "Direction générale de l'offre de soins", allowed the optimization of the healthcare system involved in the management of the rare cancers of the peritoneum. In this setting, the RENA-PATH group has also been reinforced, notably by its recognized diagnostic expertise in pathology and its interface with the MESOPATH group. Moreover RENAPE and RENA-PATH led to guidelines diffusion through the integration, in 2019, to the ``Thesaurus National de Cancérologie Digestive'' (TNCD) and to post-university medical education programs.

Root cause analysis of mortality after esophagectomy for cancer: a multicenter cohort study from the FREGAT database.

Background: Esophagectomy is associated with significant mortality. A better understanding of the causes leading to death may help to reduce mortality. A root cause analysis of mortality after esophagectomy was performed.

Shifting the landscape: Dominant C-terminal rare missense FOXL2 variants in non-syndromic primary ovarian failure etiology.

Pathogenic germline variants in the FOXL2 gene are associated with Blepharophimosis, Ptosis, and Epicanthus Inversus syndrome (BPES) in humans, an autosomal dominant condition. Two forms of BPES have emerged: (i) type I (BPES-I), characterized by ocular signs and primary ovarian failure (POI), and (ii) type II (BPES-II) with no systemic associations. This study aimed to compare the distribution of FOXL2 variants in idiopathic POI/DOR (diminished ovarian reserve) and both types of BPES, and to determine the involvement of FOXL2 in non-syndromic forms of POI/DOR.
