Novel Variants Associated with Wilson Disease in Saudi Families

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the ATP7B gene. The ATP7B gene encodes trans-membrane copper-transporting ATPase 2, which mediates the excretion of copper into bile and delivers copper to the transporting protein ceruloplasmin in blood. The genetic database reported over …

Nomogram Predicting Survival After Resection of Non-Functioning Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Pancreas Based on SEER Data

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Although Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PNETs) are a rare form of pancreatic tumor, their incidence is on the rise. Overall survival for these patients strongly correlates to the stage at diagnosis. Other prognostic factors that may impact on survival include tumor grade and lymph node metastases. The aim of this study was …

Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Comparison Between Two Staging Systems for Respectable Tumors

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common causes of cancer death. Prognosis of resected hepatocellular carcinoma has been a matter of debate with various staging system; the Japanese system and the system of Vauthey et al are two commonly used staging systems. We sought to validate these two systems using …
