Transarterial chemoembolization for liver metastases of a pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm: a single-center experience
AbstractTransarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is performed for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PanNEN) liver metastases; however, the safety and efficacy of TACE procedures, especially for patients who have undergone previous pancreatic surgery, have not been established. We reviewed 48 TACE procedures (1 –6 procedures/patient) performed on 11 patients with PanNEN liver metastases, including 16 TACE procedures (4–6 procedures/patient) for 3 patients with a history of biliary-enteric anastomosis. The overall tumor objective response rate was 94%. The incidence of Clavien‒Dindo grade ≥ 2 co mplications was 1/16...

Detecting the location of lung cancer on thoracoscopic images using deep convolutional neural networks
AbstractObjectivesThe prevalence of minimally invasive surgeries has increased the need for tumor detection using thoracoscopic images during lung cancer surgery. We conducted this study to analyze the efficacy of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for tumor detection using recorded thoracoscopic images of pulmonary surfaces.Materials and methodsWe collected 644 intraoperative thoracoscopic images of changes in pulmonary appearance from 427 patients with lung cancer between 2012 and 2021. The lesion areas on the thoracoscopic images were detected by bounding boxes using an advanced version of YOLO, a well-known DCN...

Remnant gastritis in gastric cancer patients causes loss of muscle mass 6 months after gastrectomy: a retrospective cohort study of Helicobacter pylori infection
ConclusionsRemnant gastritis did contribute to psoas muscle mass loss during the initial 6 months after gastrectomy, and HP infection was not significantly associated with either remnant gastritis or psoas muscle mass loss. Nevertheless, the potential for HP eradication to prevent muscle loss and improve the survival prognosis for gastrectomy patients merits further research. (Source: Surgery Today)
