Chemoradiation of locally advanced biliary cancer: A PRISMA‐compliant systematic review
This is a systematic review of the current evidence on “modern” chemoradiation for primary or recurrent unresectable biliary tract cancers. We have critically compared chemoradiation outcomes with those of other treatment options, seeking to determine whether specific chemoradiation modalities provide distinct advantages in terms of treatment efficacy ...

Prevalence and Significance of AGR2 Expression in Human Cancer
ABSTRACT Backround Anterior gradient 2 (AGR2) is a resident endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein with a vital role in embryonal development, mucus maturation, tissue regeneration, and wound healing. Methods To determine the prevalence and clinical significance of AGR2 expression in cancer, a tissue microarray containing 14,966 tumors from 134 different ...

Septin 9 is identified as a regulator of EMT and the host immune response. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) was categorized into two groups: (1) ‘immune–epithelial’, with high expression of septin 9 and ‘don't eat me’ signal genes regulated by IFNγ/STAT1; and (2) ‘mesenchymal–ECM’, with high expression of vimentin, MMP7 and TIMP1.

ABSTRACT Background Texture analysis derived from computed tomography (CT) may provide clinically relevant imaging biomarkers associated with tumor histopathology. Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant disease with an overall poor prognosis. Aims The present study sought to elucidate possible associations between texture features derived from CT ...

The Melan‐A (melanocyte antigen) protein, also termed ‘melanoma antigen recognized by T cells 1’ (MART‐1) is a protein with unknown function whose expression is specific for the melanocyte lineage. Antibodies against Melan‐A are thus used for identifying melanocytic tumors, but some Melan‐A antibodies show an additional – diagnostically useful – cross ...

Reoperation for post hepatectomy complications
Hepatectomy is associated with complications that may require return to theatre. However, there is a paucity in the literature identifying risk factors resulting in reoperation post‐hepatectomy. This paper has demonstrated that performing an additional major non‐hepatic procedure concurrent with the hepatectomy is a risk factor for return to theatre ...

Benign biliary inflammatory pseudotumor mimicking a Klatskin tumor.
Most biliary tumors at the liver hilum are malignant and, when possible, require radical surgical resection. However, few rare benign lesions exist, for which the differential diagnosis with malignancy is important in order to avoid aggressive surgical ...

Klatskin tumors and �Klatskin-mimicking lesions�: our 22-year experience.
Background and study purpose: Hilar cholangiocarcinoma, also known as Altemeier-Klatskin tumor, is a rare malignancy that arises in the confluence of the hepatic ducts of the porta hepatis. The prognosis is rather poor. Several lesions mimic these tumors and lead to a misdiagnosis, resulting in radical hepatic resections.
