The Genomic Topography of Appendiceal Cancers: Our Current Understanding, Clinical Perspectives, and Future Directions Open
Background/Objectives: Appendiceal cancer (AC) is a rare and understudied malignancy with limited genomic data available to guide clinical interventions. Historically treated as a subtype of colorectal cancer, AC is now recognized as a dis…

Are We Undertreating Black Patients with Nonfunctional Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors? Critical Analysis of Current Surveillance Guidelines by Race Open
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) survival outcomes differ by race. Current recommendations for surveillance of PNETs less than 2 cm in size are based on low malignant potential and low rates of lymph node metastases (LNM)…

Prognostic Impact of Tumor Size on Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Recurrence May Have Racial Variance Open
Objective The incidence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) has increased over the last decade. Black patients have worse survival outcomes. This study investigates whether oncologic outcomes are racially disparate at a single inst…

Carcinoembryonic Antigen Should be Concurrently Checked with Calcitonin to Identify Distant Metastases in Medullary Thyroid Cancer Open
Aim: This study investigates if serum calcitonin or carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels can differentiate between locoregional and metastatic medullary thyroid cancer. Methods: A single institution retrospective analysis was performed on…

Management of Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors Open
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are derived from neuroendocrine cell system and can have benign or malignant characteristics. They are rare tumors, but have been increasing in incidence over the past 40 years. Patients with NENs may develo…
