Diagnostic Evaluation of Endoscopic Ultrasonography with and without Submucosal Saline Injection for Differentiating Between T1a and T1b Early Gastric Cancer

1. Abstract 1.1. Background Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has become a reliable method for predicting the invasion depth of early gastric cancer (EGC). However, diagnostic accuracy of EUS is affected by several factors. In particular, it is difficult to differentiate between T1a and T1b EGC through EUS. The aim of this study was to confirm whether …

Preoperative Score to Stratify Recurrence Risk After Curative Resection of Resectable Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study

1. Abstract 1.1. Background Oncological survival after operation of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (R-PDAC) is variable depending on various factors. Preoperative risk stratification could guide decision-making in multidisciplinary treatment concepts. We develop and validate a prognostic score for disease-free survival (DFS) in R-PDAC to solve this issue.

Prediction of Effective Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma

1. Abstract 1.1. Purpose Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) does not always lead to a reduction in serum total bilirubin level (TBil) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have Hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis and obstructive jaundice. We aimed to develop a model for pre-PTBD prediction of post-procedural TBil decrease in these patients.

Coexistence of Infantile Crohn and Humoral Immunodeficiency: A Case Report
