Characteristics and outcomes of adenosquamous carcinoma of the pancreas.
CONCLUSIONS: Although recommended, adjuvant treatment was inconsistently provided for patients in this ASCAP cohort. Published data show variability in overall survival, but our findings support that surgical resection is one of the few options for control of this rare, poorly understood pancreatic malignancy. Further research is necessary to define risk factors and adjuvant and neoadjuvant treatments, to help improve patient outcomes.

Above-Label Doses of Octreotide-LAR in Patients With Metastatic Small Intestinal Carcinoid Tumors.
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, octreotide LAR is commonly prescribed in doses or schedules above the recommended dose and frequency. Patients with refractory carcinoid syndrome appear to experience a clinical benefit from this change. Prospective data may be used to further evaluate this strategy.

Bile duct involvement portends poor prognosis in resected gallbladder carcinoma.
CONCLUSIONS: All patients with BD involvement in our population died of the disease. The subset of patients with resectable GBC and BD involvement is a group that is at high risk for recurrence and should be treated as such. In our small population, preoperative and intraoperative methods evaluating BD involvement were unreliable.

A Possible Role for TNF-α in Coordinating Inflammation and Angiogenesis in Chronic Liver Disease and Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
CONCLUSIONS: VEGF signaling could be one of the molecular signaling pathways involved in TNF-α induced angiogenesis which might pose an important link between inflammation and fibrosis in CHC and HCC development and progression. Moreover, serum inflammatory biomarkers can be used to monitor the disease progression.
