The aim of this study was to predict recurrence in patients with grade 1 or 2 nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-pNET) after curative resection.Surgical resection is the preferred treatment for NF-pNET; however, occurs frequently surgery, worsening prognosis patients.Retrospectively, NF-pNET 3 institutions were included. Patients distant metastases, hereditary syndromes, excluded. Local tumor scored. Independent predictors survival and identified using Cox-regression...
Despite evidence of different malignant potentials, postoperative follow-up assessment is similar for G1 and G2 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (panNETs) adjuvant treatment currently not indicated. This study investigated the role Ki67 with regard to recurrence survival after curative resection panNET.Patients resected non-functioning panNET diagnosed between 1992 2016 from three institutions were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who had or tumor without distant metastases hereditary...
Abstract Background Quality of life (QOL) is an important outcome measure after treatment pancreatic and periampullary carcinoma. The aim this prospective longitudinal study was to analyse QOL surgery for resectable or Methods Patients with potentially tumours underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (n = 72) a double-bypass procedure 42). They were asked complete questionnaire before laparotomy at 2 weeks, 6 3, 6, 9 12 months surgery. Fifty-nine patients completed shortened on weekly basis....
Abstract Background With the current shift toward de-escalation of surgical management in low-risk papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), understanding predictors and clinical significance additional tumors contralateral lobe is important. This study investigated histopathologic bilateral disease PTC patients utility preoperative ultrasonography guiding completion thyroidectomy decisions. Methods Patients treated with total (TT) for PTCs (< 4 cm) at Endocrine Surgical Unit Royal North Shore...
ABSTRACT Background Hypoparathyroidism is a complication associated with significant morbidity and results from inadvertent removal of the parathyroid during thyroid surgery. Therefore, intra‐operative identification tissue essential to minimize risk hypoparathyroidism. Current techniques come limitations in logistics accuracy. We therefore propose higher‐harmonic generation microscopy (HHGM), rapid, non‐invasive, label‐free method for real‐time visualization human tissue, as potential...
Abstract Background A disease-specific quality of life questionnaire is not available for patients with periampullary carcinoma, although cancer-specific questionnaires and the Gastrointestinal Quality Life Index (GIQLI) have been used. The aim this study was to validate GIQLI tumours evaluate if subscales could be identified allow a more detailed assessment patients' life. Methods Patients included in concerning diagnostic laparoscopy, were asked about symptoms completed comprising Medical...
Abstract Background Large population‐based studies give insight into the prognosis and treatment outcomes of patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). Therefore, we provide an overview related survival pNET in Netherlands. Methods Patients diagnosed between 2008 2013 from Netherlands Cancer Registry were included. Patient, characteristics reported. Survival analyses log‐rank testing performed to compare survival. Results In total, 611 Median follow‐up was 25.7 months, all‐cause...
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (tHPT), i.e., persistent HPT after kidney transplantation, affects 17–50% of transplant recipients. Treatment tHPT is mandatory since persistently elevated PTH concentrations KTx increase the risk renal allograft dysfunction and osteoporosis. The introduction cinacalcet in 2004 seemed to offer a medical treatment alternative parathyroidectomy (PTx). However, optimal management remains unclear. A retrospective analysis was performed on patients receiving...
Abstract Background Surgical safety may be improved using a medical data recorder (MDR) for the purpose of postoperative team debriefing. It provides in operating room (OR) with opportunity to look back upon their joint performance objectively discuss and learn from suboptimal situations or possible adverse events. The aim this study was investigate satisfaction OR an MDR, Black Box®, as tool providing output structured Methods In longitudinal survey study, 35 gastro-intestinal laparoscopic...
Background: Oncological survival after resection of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (panNEN) is highly variable depending on various factors. Risk stratification with preoperatively available parameters could guide decision-making in multidisciplinary treatment concepts. C-reactive Protein (CRP) linked to inferior several malignancies. This study assesses CRP within a novel risk score predicting histology and outcome surgery for sporadic non-functional panNENs. Methods: A retrospective...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) have a high prevalence in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and are the leading cause of death. Tumor size is still regarded as main prognostic factor therefore used for surgical decision-making. We assessed reliability agreement radiological pathological tumor population-based cohort MEN1-related pNETs. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Patients were selected from...
Diagnostic laparoscopy and laparoscopic ultrasonography is being used increasingly in the staging of gastrointestinal malignancy.Advantages are change tumour stage prevention unnecessary laparotomy'.*.Port-site metastases have been reported after up to 4 per cent colonic resections following cholecystectomy patients with occult malignan~y',~.Patients having diagnostic potentially at risk for port-site metastasis.The incidence metastasis was studied malignancy.
