High Accuracy Classification of Pancreatic Neoplasms Based on DNA Methylation Signatures.
DNA methylation profiling accurately classifies nonductal primary pancreatic neoplasms, with a random forest model achieving 96.9% accuracy and near perfect precision in identifying nonpancreatic neoplasms. Methylation signatures offer a valuable diagnostic tool with minimal misdiagnosis risk, even in preoperative settings.
Liver transplantation gave better 5-year survival than liver resection in combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma, including tumors within UCSF criteria.
Robotic liver resection using a close-to-open forceps technique was associated with no bile leakage and a shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic resection, even though more complex resections were performed in the robotic group.
