The association of new-onset diabetes with subsequent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer—novel use of a large administrative database Open
Background Screening options for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are limited. New-onset type 2 diabetes (NoD) is associated with subsequent diagnosis of PDAC in observational studies and may afford an opportunity for PDAC screening…

The Addition of Chemoradiation to Adjuvant Chemotherapy is Associated With Improved Survival Following Upfront Surgical Resection for Pancreatic Cancer With Nodal Metastases Open
Background It is unclear whether the addition of chemoradiation (CRT) to adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) following upfront resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) provides any benefit. While some studies have suggested a benefit to…

Surgical microwave ablation for multifocal non-resectable liver metastases: a single institution experience treating five or more liver lesions Open
Thermal ablation can provide acceptable DFS and OS, even with high volume metastatic colorectal cancers. Future efforts should be focused on defining selection criteria for those most likely to benefit from this aggressive approach.

Role of biliary stent and neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the pancreatic tumor microbiome Open
Background Intra-tumor microbiota have been implicated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) development, treatment response and post-treatment survivorship. Moreover, therapeutic interventions targeting microbiota may improve the res…

Adjuvant chemotherapy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: approaching clinical practice consensus? Open
Adjuvant chemotherapy use in ICC has increased. More LN positive or patients with T3/T4 tumors are receiving chemotherapy, which may explain the improvement in overall survival.

Genomic expression assay testing among American Indian and Alaska Native women with breast cancer Open
Background Breast cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer mortality for all women, including American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) women. The use of the 21‐gene recurrence score (RS) appears to be predictive of the benefit of…

Systemic therapy without radiation may be appropriate as neoadjuvant therapy for localized pancreas cancer Open
A short course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy without chemoradiation may improve patient selection prior to surgical resection for pancreas cancer. Further, local disease progression did not limit surgical resection in this small series.
