The aim of this study was to determine whether the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) pattern in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is modified by curative surgery for a potential application oncologic follow-up.CRC has been proved induce metabolic derangements detectable high through-output techniques exhaled breath showing specific VOCs.Forty-eight CRC and 55 healthy controls (HC) entered study. Thirty-two (M/F: 1.4; mean age 63 years) attended follow-up (mean 24 months) were found...
Lemmel's syndrome is a rare disease presenting with obstructive jaundice, secondary to common bile duct compression by duodenal diverticulum. A 79-year-old female was admitted our emergency department cholangitis and due choledocal two periampullary diverticula, major papilla opening near the biggest one (periampullary diverticulum type III). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography didn't succeed sphincterotomy, therefore laparoscopic rendez-vous performed. This case an example of...
Abstract The present review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state in vitro cancer studies, focusing on recent advancements and ongoing cell culture models analyses techniques. Cancer cells grow complex dynamic environment, interacting with various cellular components, such as stromal cells, cancer‐associated fibroblasts, immune extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM structural support unique characteristics essential for tumorigenesis. Accurately modeling this intricate tumor...
Solid pseudopapillary tumour is a rare low-grade malignant potential carcinoma of the pancreas that typically occurs in females their third decade. It most commonly tail pancreas, although any site can be affected. Surgical resection standard treatment and offers an excellent prognosis. We report case 17-year-old female with acute onset abdominal pain radiological diagnosis cystic lesion distal pancreas. A robotic-assisted pancreatectomy splenectomy was performed.

Background: A preliminary analysis from the COVID-Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgical Treatment (AGICT) study showed that rate of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for elective and urgent procedures did not decrease during pandemic year. In this article, we aimed to perform a subgroup using data COVID-AGICT evaluate trend MIS COVID-19 period in Italy. Methods: This was conducted collecting patients database. The primary endpoint demonstrate whether SARS-CoV-2 scenario reduced treatment...
