Mycobacterial Infection of the Gallbladder Masquerading as Gallbladder Cancer with a False Positive Pet Scan

Case Reports in Medicine, 2013
Isolated mycobacterial infection of gall bladder is an extremely rare entity. Only anecdotal reports are evident in the literature. A preoperative diagnosis of mycobacterial infection of gallbladder is therefore very difficult.

Preneoplastic lesions in gallbladder cancer

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2006
AbstractBackgroundGallbladder cancer is an uncommon disease except in countries like Chile and areas of India and Japan. The knowledge regarding the etiology and mechanisms through which this neoplasia is developed is significantly less compared to other malignant tumors.ResultsThe epithelial lesions involved in gallbladder carcinogenesis are dysplasia

The impact of the novel EUS scope and ultrasonographic system for diagnosis and therapy in patients with pancreatobiliary diseases (videos)

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose We evaluated the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in pancreaticobiliary diseases. We aimed to validate the efficiency of detective flow imaging (DFI), shear wave elastography (SWE), and other advanced imaging techniques.

Discovery of cancer common and specific driver gene sets [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
Cancer is known as a disease mainly caused by gene alterations. Discovery of mutated driver pathways or gene sets is becoming an important step to understand molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis. However, systematically investigating commonalities and specificities of driver gene sets among multiple cancer types is still a great challenge, but this ...

A new framework for tailoring laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Integrating preoperative clinical factors with surgical difficulty based on the Tokyo Guidelines 2018

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The Tokyo Guidelines 2018 introduced the Surgical Difficulty Score (TGDS18) to assess laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) difficulty based on intraoperative findings. This study aimed to predict surgical difficulty preoperatively using clinical factors correlated with TGDS18. Methods Of 369 LC cases for cholecystitis (Jan 2014–Jul 2024),

Cancer Networks: A general theoretical and computational framework for understanding cancer [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
We present a general computational theory of cancer and its developmental dynamics. The theory is based on a theory of the architecture and function of developmental control networks which guide the formation of multicellular organisms. Cancer networks are special cases of developmental control networks.

Indications for extrahepatic bile duct resection due to perineural invasion in patients with gallbladder cancer

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2019
Background The indications for extrahepatic bile duct (EHBD) resection remain a major controversy in the surgical management of patients with gallbladder cancer. On the other hand, perineural invasion (PNI) was reported as an important factor in patients
