Characteristics and outcomes of cancer patients admitted to intensive care units in cancer specialized hospitals in China
CONCLUSION: Patients with lung cancer require more ICU care due to critical complications and the overall survival prognosis is poor. Colorectal cancer may benefit more from ICU management. This information may be considered in ICU admission and treatment strategies.PMID:38642154 | PMC:PMC11032264 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-024-05727-0 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

68Ga-FAPI-04 positron emission tomography/CT and laparoscopy for the diagnosis of occult peritoneal metastasis in newly diagnosed locally advanced gastric cancer: study protocol of a single-centre prospective cohort study
Introduction Accurate baseline clinical staging is critical to inform treatment decision-making for patients with gastric cancers. Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is the most common form of metastasis in gastric cancer and mainly diagnosed by diagnostic laparoscopy and peritoneal lavage evaluation. However, diagnostic laparoscopy is invasive and less cost-effective. It is urgent to develop a safe, fast and non-invasive functional imaging method to verify the peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. The aim of our study was to evaluate the proportion of patients in whom 68Ga-FAPI-04 positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) led t...

Endoscopic vacuum therapy: management of upper gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks and esophageal perforations
CONCLUSIONS: EVAC therapy is an appropriate treatment for the management of postoperative fistulas in the UGT. Longer treatments are associated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and larger fistulas.PMID:38634871 | DOI:10.17235/reed.2024.10424/2024 (Source: Revista Espanola de Enfermedades Digestivas)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 62-year-old woman, originally from Peru, with rheumatoid arthritis under treatment with anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy, was admitted due to constitutional syndrome and suspicion of neoplasia. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed involvement of three segments of the colon, ascites, and likely peritoneal implants. Ascitic fluid analysis showed elevated adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels and lymphocytosis. The patient presented with hematemesis and hematochezia with hemodynamic instability.
