Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy

Insulinoma is the most common pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET). It is a rare disease account for 1-2% of pancreatic tumors and affect approximately up to 3 patients per million per year. complete surgical resection or debulking are standard of care option. However, surgery is associated with short and long-term post-operative morbidity and may not be appropriate for all patients. In This case we present management and cure of a case of functioning insulinoma with stereotactic ablative radiosurgery in an unfit patient for surgery.

Low caloric intake or excessive energy expenditure can lead to a negative energy balance, which, in female athletes, may result in a condition called the female athlete triad. While several guidelines identified proper nutrition as a first line of treatment, little research has been reported to show the effect of a professional nutrition program (PNP) on the female athlete triad. The purpose of this case report was to measure the short- and long-term effects of a PNP on a female athlete presenting triad characteristics. A 20-year-old female track-and-field athlete at a Division I university who was in negative energy balance and amenorrheic underwent a one-month PNP. Short- and long-term effects measured by a dual X-ray absorptiometry scan prior to and after attending a PNP showed increased total energy intake from 2188 kcals to 3187 kcals, which resulted in an increase in body fat percent (BF%) from 4.7% to 6.7%. However, by the end of four months, energy intake and BF% (5.7% and 6.0%) values were reduced, respectively. After the twelve-month follow-up, BF% was increased (10.5%), suggesting that increasing energy intake to meet energy demands, without compromising athletic training, can be an effective treatment for the female athlete triad.

Reconstructive Plastic

Introduction. Over the past few decades, the incidence of pancreatic cancer has dramatically increased worldwide. Despite the high prevalence of this oncological pathology, there is currently no consensus on the expediency of performing radical reconstructive-plastic surgeries in case of malignant pancreatic tumors. Aim: to study the influence of reconstructive-plastic techniques of surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer on the life expectancy of patients and its quality. Materials and methods. Analysis of the short and long-term outcomes of surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer was conducted. In total, radical operative interventions were carried out in 32 patients, including 14 men (56.25%) and 18 women (43,75%), aged 37 to 72 (61,5±10,0) years. Pyloro-preserving pancreatoduodenal resection was performed in 20 (62.5%) patients, gastropancreatoduodenal resection — in 6 (18.8%) patients, proximal resection — in 5 (15.6%) patients, distal pancreatic resection — in 1 case (3,1%). Areflux pancreatojejunal anastomosis was formed in patients by the clinic technique. Results. Hospital mortality was 6.25%. More than three years after surgery, 15.6% of patients are alive; the median survival rate is 19.5±2.4 months. An assessment of the quality of life and the function of the formed pancreatojejunostomy conducted in the immediate and remote periods showed that the presence of areflux valve reliably prevents the development of pancreatic stump, providing a high level of quality of life for patients. Conclusions. The use of organ-preserving and organ-modulating techniques in the treatment of operable pancreatic cancer does not affect survival, but provides an acceptable level of quality of life for patients in the short and long-term perspective after surgery.

Abstract Purpose Pancreas tumors are extremely rare in pediatric and adolescent patients. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment; however, the data is limited with respect to morbidity and mortality. We aimed to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes of pediatric and adolescent patients who underwent surgical resection of pancreatic tumors. Methods Patients \(\le\) 18 years old who underwent resection of pancreas tumor at the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases INEN during 2000–2020 were included. Results Thirty-four patients were diagnosed; 28 patients were female and 6 were male. The median age was 13.4 years old. Histological diagnosis was solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) (n = 29,85.3%), pancreatoblastoma (n = 3), neuroendocrine carcinoma (n = 1), and insulinoma (n = 1). No patient experienced postoperative mortality and 15 (44.1%) patients developed postoperative complications including pancreatic fistula as the most frequent. Under a median follow-up period of 33.8 (0.5–138) months, 4 (11.8%) patients died. Of the 29 patients with SPN, the 3-and-5-year OS was 100% and 83.1%, respectively. Conclusions SPN was the most frequent cause of surgical treatment for pediatric and adolescent patients in the high-volume cancer center in Peru and was associated with favorable survival. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was safely performed in this patient group with acceptable morbidity and zero mortality.
