Endoscopic ultrasound‑guided biliary drainage (EUS‑BD) is performed as a second method when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography‑guided fails. There are several severe adverse events in EUS‑BD, and avoiding technical failure desirable. Although EUS‑BD skilled treatment, the appropriate conditions for beginners not well known. The present study aimed to clarify cases beginners. retrospective cohort included patients with malignant obstruction who underwent which was by between March...
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on healthcare, including cancer management. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic of pandemic, throughout its duration, patient care for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We collected clinical data patients with unresectable PDAC who underwent palliative chemotherapy at five medical facilities in Fukushima, Japan. were divided into two groups: group A (nonpandemic cohort) and B (pandemic cohort). Survival analysis was...
Introduction: Wire-guided cannulation (WGC) during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a selective biliary technique aimed at improving the successful rate and reducing of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) incidence. This study to evaluate effectiveness angled-tip guidewires (AGW) vs. straight-tip (SGW) for via WGC by trainee. Methods: We conducted prospective, single-center, open-labeled, randomized, controlled trial. Fifty-seven patients were enrolled in this assigned...
EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is performed after endoscopic transpapillary fails. Although fistula dilation one of the most difficult steps EUS-BD, whether an ultratapered ERCP catheter or a dilator best choice for unclear. In this study, we aimed to identify optimal device guidewire placement.
<title>Abstract</title> Background Pancreatic cancer (PC) is an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Advances in molecular profiling liquid biopsy, specifically the detection of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA), offer new avenues for personalized therapy. KRAS mutations are present approximately 63–70% PC patients, but via biopsy can be influenced by disease stage, metastasis site, ctDNA concentration. The aim this retrospective study was to develop...
