Background: Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is an emerging technique for delivering chemotherapy directly to the peritoneum via a pressurized aerosol. Its growing attention stems from its effectiveness in treating peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) originating various primary tumors, with gastric cancer (GC) being among most prevalent. This study aimed systematically investigate PIPAC's therapeutic role metastasis (GCPM). Methods: The systematic review and meta-analysis...
Background Acute on chronic pancreatitis (ACP) shares a similar clinical presentation with acute (AP) and is often diagnosed treated in the same way. However, these two conditions may have distinct risk profiles prognoses. There currently limited evidence available regarding specific characteristics of ACP. Methods This retrospective cohort study included all adult patients admitted diagnosis AP or ACP between 2017 2019 at tertiary referral centers. The primary outcome was disease severity...
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a heterogeneous disease, with different causes and often long delay between onset full classic presentation. Clinical presentation depends on the stage of disease. In earlier stages, recurrent episodes acute are major signs dominating clinical As inflammatory process goes on, less occur, pain adopts aspects or may even disappear. After 10–15 years from onset, functional insufficiency occurs. Then, pancreatic exocrine endocrine appears. Diagnosis remains...
29 Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics early gastric cancer (EGC) in comparison advanced tumors and its role patient's prognosis. Methods: This related 1,272 patients admitted with or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma our department, between January 1988 December 2008. During period incidence EGC 12.68% (3.62% T0, 42.75% T1a 53.62% T1b). Several clinical, pathological staging parameters were evaluated according classification tumors. Results: Significant...
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a complex disease that should be treated by experienced teams of gastroenterologists, radiologists, surgeons, and nutritionists in multidisciplinary environment. Medical treatment includes lifestyle modification, nutrition, exocrine endocrine pancreatic insufficiency correction, pain management. Up to 60% patients will ultimately require some type endoscopic or surgical intervention for treatment. However, regardless the modality, they are often ineffective...
Objectives Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a fibroinflammatory disease complicated by episodes of acute inflammation (acute on chronic (ACP)). This entity common, variably defined and can reflect different pathological mechanisms that requires interventions. The aim this study to conduct systematic review how ACP described, diagnosed in the literature.Methods A search was conducted from January 1993 June 2020. All articles used term describe adults were reviewed definitions diagnostic criteria...
22 Background: This study aimed to evaluate the early onset gastric cancer (EOGC), considered as in a patient younger than 45 years, distinct entity with different prognosis. Methods: is related 1,256 patients admitted or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma our department between January 1988 and December 2008. There were 10.59% (133 cases) of EOGC series. The following clinical, pathological staging parameters studied: age, gender, tumor location, ressecability, type resection surgery,...

Background: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of pancreas is a rare tumor, predominantly affecting young women, usually with favorable prognosis.Methods: We present retrospective observational case-series study eight patients diagnosed and treated in dedicated hepatobiliary pancreatic unit, describing the clinicopathological immunohistochemical features.Results: seven were female, mean age 31 years; most frequently performed procedure was distal pancreatectomy six cases.The lesions well...
141 Background: Optimized survival in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) depends on complete surgical resection: prognostic impact of well-standardized techniques and per operative management experienced groups has proven to be a key aspect. Multimodal treatment (MT) options are still controversial but particularly important locally advanced disease apparently allowing better resectability. We perform an early evaluation MT protocol OSCC. Methods: Survival clinical response analysis...
62 Background: The expression of immature forms carbohydrates could help to better understand the biological behavior gastric cancer. Methods: From a universe 50 patients with or gastroesophageal junction carcinoma submitted surgical treatment between January and October 2009, in our department, 36 out 38 carcinomas ressected during this period, were selected for tumor tissue immunohistochemical study simple mucin-type carbohydrate antigens (Tn, STn, T ST) Lewis (SLea SLex).
