..While mortality rates after radical gastrectomy have decreased, there is considerable morbidity after D2 lymphadenectomy. In this study, we assessed the perioperative results of D2 gastrectomy for gastric cancer...

..The role of standardization on outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy has not been sufficiently addressed...

..During pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), two techniques have been described to dissect the head of pancreas, viz. the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) approach by dissecting the uncinate process and the uncinate process first approach...

..The aim of the present study was to identify specific findings on preoperative imaging that could help predict in which patients with BRT a complete resection, with or without vascular resection (VR), could be achieved...

..We thus sought to validate a new scoring system, the Tata Memorial Hospital Staging System (TMHSS), for gallbladder cancer...

..The aim of this study was to assess the role of neoadjuvant imatinib in redefining treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs)...

..We evaluated the data of the senior author to better define the requirements that would enable development of specialized units in a country where colorectal cancer burden is increasing...

....

..Our aim is to discuss our technique and the peri-operative outcomes with the use of the linear vascular stapler for division of the uncinate process during PD...

..3%. The aim of our study was to identify those patients who had developed an anastomotic leak, and evaluate the indications for re-exploration as well as study the impact of covering colostomies on the subsequent outcome...

..No episode of DVT occurred in either the drug arm or the observation arm. There was no death following surgery. The incidence of DVT in Indian patients operated for colorectal cancer in the lithotomy position was negligible...

..There is a recent report questioning the ISGPF criteria's ability to accurately predict pancreatic anastomotic failure and outlining new criteria. We decided to validate both proposed criteria based on our experience...

..The tendency of some of these tumors to be locally aggressive and also to metastasize has been well recognized. It is not possible to predict the biologic behavior of these tumors based only on their morphology...

..Improved safety of pancreatic surgery has led to consideration of more aggressive approaches, such as resection for primary pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with metastatic disease (M1)...

..The search has been limited to English publications on human subjects. A manual search of the bibliographies has also been carried out, to identify the relevant publications for possible inclusion...

..However studies using this technique and their results, in the Indian scenario, as well as the rest of Asia, have been few and far between...

..Laparoscopic surgery for anorectal carcinoma is steadily gaining acceptance. While feasibility has already been reported, there are no reports addressing the impact of the actual size of large tumors on laparoscopic resectability...

..These findings illustrate that the NK-1R pathway is activated in human pancreatic cancer and has the potential to contribute to cancer cell growth, thus suggesting the existence of a neuro-cancer cell interaction in vivo...

..This review aimed to determine the role of current imaging modalities in the diagnosis and determination of resectability of pancreatic and peri-ampullary adenocarcinomas...

....

..This review aims at highlighting the important milestones in the history of pancreatoduodenectomy leading to its progressive development, whilst providing a scientific basis...

..The purpose of the present paper was to determine the perioperative morbidity and mortality for patients undergoing reoperative pancreaticoduodenectomy at a major comprehensive cancer centre...

..He underwent cholecystectomy and frozen section revealed the metastatic tumor. Sixteen months later, the patient is free of disease...

..The search was limited to English language publications on human subjects. A manual cross-reference search of the bibliographies of relevant papers was carried out to identify publications for possible inclusion...

..We assessed the impact of IOUS in liver surgery at our hospital, a tertiary-care cancer center...

..We present a 30-year-old woman with solitary liver metastasis from an adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid gland, which had been surgically treated 10 years ago. The patient underwent successful resection of this metastasis...

..This article revisits the data from such studies in an attempt to determine if the available literature supports the performance of extended resections for pancreatic cancer in terms of improvement of survival...

....

..Early enteral immunonutrition should be used only in malnourished and in transfused patients. Early EN after major digestive surgery is an old advance that is now in fashion...

..Surgical resection is the best treatment modality, with a chance of cure. We present a 65-year-old man with large mesenteric cyst and absence of bowel involvement. Histology showed a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor...

..Small bowel consciousness is crucial in diagnosing and treating these tumours. This review aims to increase awareness of small bowel tumours in terms of epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment...

..It probably costs less and is therefore more useful in developing countries. However, it has limitation in overweight patients who are infrequently encountered in our population...

..It confers resistance to apoptosis induction by chemotherapeutic agents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of XIAP in pancreatic cancer...
