Neoadjuvant Chemo-Radiotherapy for Patients with Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: A Meta-Analytical Evaluation of Prospective Studies
2012
Context For patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer, the benefit of neoadjuvant therapy remains to be defined. Objective We did a systematic search of the literature on this topic. Methods Prospective studies, where chemotherapy, irrespective of regimen, in combination with radiotherapy was given before surgery to patients with borderline resectable cancer, were analyzed by a meta-analytical method. Primary outcome was tumor response; surgical exploration rate, resection rate, therapy-induced toxicity, and survival were secondary outcomes. Data were expressed as weighted pooled proportions with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results Eleven studies with 247 participants were…

5th International Symposium on Focused Ultrasound
2016
Introduction Breast fibroadenomata (FAD) are benign lesions which occur in about 10 % of all women. Diagnosis is made by triple assessment (physical examination, imaging and/or histopathology/cytology). For a definitive diagnosis of FAD, the treatment is conservative unless the patient is symptomatic. For symptomatic patients, the lumps can be surgically excised or removed interventionally by vacuum-assisted mammotomy (VAM). Ablative techniques like high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), cryo-ablation and laser ablation have also been used for the treatment of FAD, providing a minimally invasive treatment without scarring or poor cosmesis. This review summarises current trials using mini…
Frequency and Characterization of Benign Lesions in Pancreatic Specimens of Patients Operated for the Suspicion of Pancreatic Cancer
2012
Context A final diagnosis of benign lesions is reported in up to 21% of patients who underwent duodenocephalopancreatectomy for neoplasia, whereas no data have yet been published for resection of the body-tail. Objective To investigate the frequency and to characterize the benign lesions mimicking a neoplasia in the head and in the body-tail of the pancreas. Methods We retrospectively reviewed all the pancreatic specimens collected from 2005 to 2011 in the database of the Institute of Pathology of Mainz. Patients with a final diagnosis excluding malignancy were analyzed by histological, clinical and imaging findings. Results Three-hundreds and 73 patients were identified. A final diagnosis …
