ABSTRACT This international, multidisciplinary consensus report represents the first effort to systematically define and characterize fatty pancreas. A key outcome of this endeavor was the recommendation to adopt “fatty pancreas” as the standardized and inclusive term to describe all forms of fat accumulation in the pancreas.

ABSTRACT Background Little is known about the genetic background of individuals with familial pancreatic cancer (PC). Integrating germline testing into surveillance may uncover previously unrecognized hereditary susceptibility and expand prevention strategies beyond BRCA testing alone. This study evaluated the genetic landscape of high‐risk individuals

ABSTRACT Gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs) < 20 mm are frequently identified during routine endoscopy and account for approximately 90% of all SELs. Although most are benign, a substantial proportion represents gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), which carry malignant potential even at this small size.
