1. Abstract 1.1. Aims: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors, representing 1-3% of all gastrointestinal cancer. Surgical resection is the only curative treatment. Minimally invasive approaches such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted resections for gastric GISTs have proved to be oncologically and surgically safe. We report here a case series of robot-assisted …

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: A few studies have investigated the occurrence of anti-ribosomal P antibody (Anti-P) in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), based on the partial overlap of clinical and pathological features ofAIH and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), for which anti-P is a diagnostic biomarker. In face of the controversial results obtained, this study aimed to evaluate …

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Prediction of liver cancer risk is beneficial to define high-risk population of liver cancer and guide clinical decisions. We aimed to review and critically appraise the quality of existing risk-prediction models for liver cancer.

1. Abstract 1.1. Background and Aims: Chemoradiotherapy represents one of the cornerstones of colorectal cancer management as not only it improves the local control but can also induce the histological resolution of the disease also known as the pathological complete response. The aim of this study is to identify predictive factors for cPR after chemoradiotherapy …
