Prognostic Impact of Bone Mineral Density Reduction During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC) in Patients Undergoing NAC Followed by Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The association between BMD reduction during NAC and the worse prognosis remains unknown, although NAC followed by esophagectomy is a standard treatment for advanced ESCC. This study appeared that BMD massive reduction was an independent prognostic factor on OS (HR, 3.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.69–6.55) and RFS (HR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.19–3.63 ...

Significance of Intraoperative Lavage Cytology in Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) has a poor prognosis, with frequent early metastatic recurrence after curative resection. Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is particularly difficult to diagnose and predict. While intraoperative lavage cytology (CY) is a standard method to detect PM, its utility remains unclear in PHC.

Immediate Reconstruction of Pancretaticogastrostomy Following Hepatopancreatoduodenectomy for Biliary Tact Cancer: A Single‐Center Review of 33 Consecutive Patients

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study showed that the pancreaticogastrostomy technique in HPD of biliary tract cancer reduced the incidence of pancreatic fistula from 45% to 12%. In‐hospital mortality was also reduced from 27% to 3%. ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Although hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy (HPD) is effective for margin‐negative curative resection of biliary tract ...
