ABSTRACT Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the leading malignancy in adolescent and young adult males, yet the immunological and cellular mechanisms governing their tumor microenvironment (TME) remain poorly understood. Here, we present a comprehensive review of TGCT pathobiology with a focus on the immune landscape, particularly the role of tumor‐

Severe abdominal aortic calcification on preoperative CT may identify vascular frailty in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Integrated with fistula‐risk scores and frailty assessment, it may inform discussion of standard PD versus planned total pancreatectomy in selected high‐risk patients, while AAC alone is not an indication for TP ...
