Although re-assessment of proliferative activity by K67 evaluation during the course neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) is recommended in selected patients, its impact on patients' management not clear due to lack data supporting this practice.To investigate Ki67 change at time progressive disease (PD) entero-pancreatic NENs (EP-NENs).Retrospective analysis sporadic EP-NENs which received histological after PD once radiologically documented.Forty-three patients were evaluated, including 24...
INTRODUCTION: Pancreatic cancer (PC) surveillance of high-risk individuals (HRI) is becoming more common worldwide, aiming at anticipating PC diagnosis a preclinical stage. In 2015, the Italian Registry Families Risk Cancer was created. We aimed to assess prevalence and incidence pancreatic findings, oncological outcomes, harms 7 years after inception, focusing on with least 3-year follow-up or developing events before. METHODS: HRI (subjects family history mutation carriers with/without...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The incidence of small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) is increasing, but few studies have investigated risk factors for their occurrence, suggesting that family history (FH) any cancer, smoking and previous cholecystectomy are associated with an increased risk. Such series or examined cancer registries without direct interviews. <b><i>Aim:</i></b> We therefore aimed at clarifying protective the occurrence...
Functional imaging tests (FITs) detecting somatostatin receptor expression [i.e., scintigraphy, 68Ga-DOTA positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT)] have a pivotal role in the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), although their indication during follow-up still needs to be clarified.Investigate FITs after metastatic enteropancreatic NETs, identifying patients who might benefit from these exams.Multicenter retrospective analysis NETs.Analysis performed between January 1995...
Biliary complications are a serious source of morbidity after orthotopic and living-related liver transplantation. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) is the gold standard for patients with duct-to-duct anastomosis because it allows direct approach interventional procedures. A retrospective study showed results sequential multistenting protocol, without stent removal/exchange, promising results. We conducted prospective analysis to assess clinical success, recurrence rate, adverse...
A 25-year-old woman with a history of Barrett’s esophagus dysplasia underwent Ivor Lewis esophagectomy at the age 18 years.
Abstract Background: Digestive Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (DNENs) express in up to 80% of cases somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), that are detected by Functional Imaging Tests (FITs). FITs needed at DNENs first diagnosis define therapy but their role follow-up (FU) is unclear. Moreover, with the introduction targeted therapies, RECIST criteria showing difficulties assess tumor response these drugs. The aim this study was compare accuracy detecting new distant metastases (primary outcome) and...

Biliary complications following liver transplantation (LT) range from 8% to 35%. Anastomotic stricture (AS) is the most common complication. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiography (ERC) with sphincterotomy and pneumatic dilation multiple stents placement gold standard for treating AS.; ERC/stent exchange should be repeated every three months get morphological recovery of stenosis. The success rate approximately 70%-80%. In patients responding endoscopic therapy, risk AS recurrence around 18%....
