Pancreatic cancer surgery in Italy: an updated snapshot from a national multicentre analysis of outcomes by hospital volume.

Surgical outcomes after robot-assisted versus laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy: multicentre propensity-matched comparison from the Italian Group of Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery

Abstract Background Minimally invasive approaches to pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) are increasingly being adopted worldwide. However, direct comparisons between laparoscopic PD (LPD) and robot-assisted PD (RPD) remain limited and inconclusive. This study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes between LPD and RPD within a...

Textbook outcome of robotic rectal resection with primary anastomosis for cancer: a composite quality measure to evaluate functional and midterm outcomes

Findings support TO as a meaningful composite quality benchmark integrating perioperative, oncologic, and patient-reported outcomes after robotic rectal resection with primary anastomosis.

Young Age Is Associated with Improved Survival After Resection of Non-Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

In surgically managed PDAC patients, young age and normal CA19-9 value carried independent favorable prognostic information, and prognosis was also shaped by nodal status, T stage, and receipt of adjuvant therapy.

Proteomics of Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Primary Cells of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Patients Identifies Ribosomal Proteins Associated with Survival.

It is suggested that the differential loading of translational machinery into the extracellular space─likely via microvesicles or coisolated nonvesicular particles─contributes to poor prognosis, offering new insights into the systemic secretome of aggressive tumors.
