Multi-institutional Validation Study of Cyst Fluid Protein Biomarkers in Patients With Cystic Lesions of the Pancreas
Conclusions:
This prospective study of patients with unknown cyst pathology further demonstrates the importance of cyst fluid protein analysis in the preoperative identification of patients with high-risk IPMN. Longer follow-up is necessary to determine if this model will be useful in clinical practice. (Source: Annals of Surgery)

Potential Clinical Utility of a Targeted Circulating Tumor DNA Assay in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
Conclusions:
Our study shows that ctDNA has potential to provide additional prognostication over conventional staging investigation such as CT and PET. It may also have clinical utility in the assessment of response to NAT and as a biomarker for the surveillance of recurrent disease. (Source: Annals of Surgery)

Multicenter International Cohort Validation of a Modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score Using the Richmond Agitation-sedation Scale
Objective:
In a multicenter, international cohort, we aimed to validate a modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (mSOFA) using the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale, hypothesized as comparable to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)-based Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA).
Summary Background Data:
The SOFA score, whose neurologic component is based on the GCS, can predict intensive care unit (ICU) mortality. But, GCS is often missing in lieu of other assessments, such as the also reliable and validated Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS). Single-center data suggested an RASS-based SOFA (mSOFA) predic...

Curative Surgery and Ki-67 Value Rather Than Tumor Differentiation Predict the Survival of Patients With High-grade Neuroendocrine Neoplasms
Objective:
To elucidate the role of surgery in patients with high-grade neuroendocrine neoplasms (hg-NENs) and Ki-67 more than 20%.
Background:
Although surgery is the first treatment choice in patients with low-grade NENs, whether it increases the survival of patients with hg-NENs is debatable.
Methods:
Between 2005 and 2018, 63 patients pathologically diagnosed with hg-NENs treated at our institution were retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors for overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival were analyzed, and OS was compared between each treatment group.
Results:
The median observation...

Volume of Pancreas-Adjacent Operations Favorably Influences Pancreaticoduodenectomy Outcomes at Lower Volume Pancreas Centers
This study assesses how the volume of pancreatic-adjacent operations (PAO) impacts the outcomes of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).
Summary Background Data:
It is well-established that regionalization benefits outcomes after PD. However, due to a multitude of factors, including geographic, financial, and personal, not all patients receive their care at high-volume pancreas surgery centers.
Methods:
The National Cancer Database was queried for pancreatic cancer patients who underwent PD. Hospital volume was calculated for PD and PAO (defined as gastric, hepatic, complex biliary, or pancreatic operations other tha...

Cost-effectiveness of Restrictive Strategy Versus Usual Care for Cholecystectomy in Patients With Gallstones and Abdominal Pain (SECURE-trial)
Conclusions:
A restrictive selection strategy for cholecystectomy saves €162 compared to usual care, but results in fewer pain-free patients. The incremental cost per pain-free patient are savings of €4563 per pain-free patient lost. The higher societal willingness to pay for 1 extra pain-free patient, the lower the probability that the restrictive strategy will be cost-effective.

Conditional Survival of Patients Who Underwent Curative Resection for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conclusions:
Conditional survival estimates generally increase over time, and the largest improvements were observed for patients with advanced stage. Availability of updated prognosis at various time points allows clinicians to better guide their patients. Our results also imply substantial residual risk of recurrence and sustained excess mortality compared to the general population even after 5 years. (Source: Annals of Surgery)
