Article Synopsis
- * Analyzing data from 1183 patients, it found that completing 6 months of postoperative adjuvant therapy significantly improved overall, disease-specific, and recurrence-free survival, especially for high-risk patients.
- * Additionally, neoadjuvant therapy showed benefits for those with borderline resectable IPMC, and any treatment for recurrence after surgery was linked to longer survival compared to no treatment.
Efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine therapy in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer: A multicenter single-arm phase II study (NAC-GA trial).

Article Synopsis
- Nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (GnP-NAT) was tested as a neoadjuvant therapy in a phase II trial involving 61 patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, focusing on overall survival and disease progression.
- The results showed a median overall survival of 25.2 months and a significant resection rate, although 73.8% of patients experienced serious side effects (grade 3/4 events).
- The study suggests GnP-NAT is a promising treatment, but highlights caution for patients with previous pulmonary issues and emphasizes the need for further research into its safety and effectiveness.
Purpose: This retrospective study evaluated our hypothesis that high tumor budding (≥10 buds) may help determine the appropriate T category for more accurate staging of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).
Methods: We analyzed the clinical and histopathologic data of 235 consecutive patients with histologically confirmed ICC following hepatectomy at five university hospitals in the Kansai region of Japan between January 2009 and December 2020. ICC staging was based on the Liver Cancer Study Group of Japan (LCSGJ) staging system, 6th edition.
We report two cases of Schloffer tumor that required resection after radical colon cancer surgery because of suspected lymph node recurrence on contrast-enhanced (CE) CT and 18F-FDG-PET/CT. Case1 is a 69-year-old man with sigmoid colon cancer pStage IIA, and case2 is a 61-year-old man with descending colon cancer pStage IIIB.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of short-term nutritional intervention with an oral elemental diet (ED; Elental; EA Pharma Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) at 300 kcal/day for 6-8 weeks in the early post-gastrectomy period on postoperative long-term body weight loss (BWL).
Methods: We analyzed consecutive patients who were randomly divided to receive the regular diet with or without ED.
Objectives: The aim of this dual-center randomized controlled trial was to determine the optimal duration of antimicrobial prophylaxis in patients treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) who underwent preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) but were without cholangitis.
Background: Some reports showed that PBD in patients undergoing pancreatectomy increased the rate of perioperative complications. However, no clinical trial has evaluated the optimal duration of antimicrobial prophylaxis with a focus on patients who underwent PD following PBD.
Clinical impact of developing better practices at the institutional level on surgical outcomes after distal pancreatectomy in 1515 patients: Domestic audit of the Japanese Society of Pancreatic Surgery.

Background And Aim: Institutional standardization in the perioperative management of distal pancreatectomy (DP) has not been evaluated in a multicenter setting. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of institutional standardization on the development of postoperative complications after DP.
Methods: Data were collected from 1515 patients who underwent DP in 2006, 2010, and 2014 at 53 institutions in Japan.
