Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Switch in Borderline Resectable/Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Roberto Alva-Ruiz et al.

Summary: This study reviewed patients with borderline resectable/locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by either continued first-line chemotherapy or chemotherapy switch. The results showed that patients undergoing chemotherapy switch with subsequent curative-intent surgical resection did not have significantly different recurrence-free survival and overall survival compared to those receiving first-line chemotherapy. However, patients undergoing chemotherapy switch without subsequent resection had significantly worse overall survival.

Distal Pancreatectomy with Celiac Axis Resection (Modified Appleby Procedure) and Arterial Reconstruction for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma After FOLFIRINOX Chemotherapy and Chemoradiation Therapy

Pierre-Emmanuel Colombo et al.

Summary: The resectability of pancreatic carcinoma is closely related to vascular extension. Recent advances in PC treatment emphasize the importance of achieving a good pathological response through chemotherapy and chemoradiation before surgery. This case of a 66-year-old man with locally advanced pancreatic cancer demonstrates the key steps and technical challenges of the surgical procedure, highlighting the significance of experienced surgical teams in achieving successful outcomes.

Carolin Zimmermann et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of FDG-PET/CT and DW-MRI before and during neoadjuvant therapy for pancreatic cancer. Results showed that FDG-PET/CT was a reliable method for evaluating response to the combined therapy, while DW-MRI did not show conclusive results in assessing treatment response.

Simulated twin-phase pancreatic CT generated using single portal venous phase dual-energy CT acquisition in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Yoshifumi Noda et al.

Summary: Low keV images generated from a PVP DECT acquisition enable the creation of a twin-phase pancreatic protocol CT with comparable diagnostic accuracy for detecting PDAC, with a significant reduction in radiation dose. Reduced radiation dose is desirable in surveillance and screening for pancreatic diseases.

European cancer mortality predictions for the year 2021 with focus on pancreatic and female lung cancer

G. Carioli et al.

Summary: The research predicts a continued decline in cancer mortality in the EU in 2021, with an increase in female lung cancer rates. Pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, and some other cancers are expected to decrease, but attention is needed on pancreatic cancer, which shows significant declines in young men.

Volker Kunzmann et al.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy and safety of two multidrug induction chemotherapy regimens for locally advanced pancreatic cancer and found that nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine is similarly active and safe as nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine followed by FOLFIRINOX. However, further evidence is needed to determine whether this translates into improved overall survival for patients.

Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, Version 2.2021

Margaret A. Tempero et al.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, with a major challenge being advanced disease at diagnosis. While survival rates have not significantly changed, newer treatments, including targeted therapies, offer hope for patients. The manuscript focuses on systemic therapy approaches for locally advanced and metastatic disease.

Abdominal splenosis and its differential diagnoses: What the radiologist needs to know

Federica Vernuccio et al.

Summary: Splenosis is a benign condition characterized by the presence of heterotopic viable splenic tissue in other organs after splenic trauma or surgery. Radiological imaging, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance, is usually sufficient for confident diagnosis. Typical features of splenosis in imaging include enhancement similar to the spleen and high signal on diffusion-weighted images at high b-values.
