PC is a safe and effective therapeutic option in high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis, or for preoperative management. The decisive risk factors for surgery after PC were age, ASA score, and CVA.
Higher SUVmax of primary pancreatic tumor is associated with poor PFS and pretreatment SUVmax is an independent prognostic factor for predicting PFS in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who received gemcitabine-based palliative chemotherapy. However, pretreatment SUVmax is not associated with chemotherapeutic response.
In patients with early LC, the risk of postpolypectomy bleeding was acceptably low and there was no case with DPPB. Therefore, polypectomy can be performed with caution. IPPB was associated with the size and the gross morphology of the polyps. However, LC-related variables in patients with early LC did not impact IPPB.
Laparoscopic percutaneous feeding jejunostomy is a safe and simple technique that adds little to the morbidity and cost of managing patients with esophagogastric cancers. It facilitates optimization of nutrition in the perioperative period for these patients, especially in those receiving preoperative chemotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
