Clinicopathological Data and Treatment Modalities for Pancreatic Somatostatinomas
Conclusion: Patients with metastatic disease did not benefit from metastasectomy, but the sample size was small to reach definite conclusions. However, further studies with longer follow-up are needed for a better evaluation of these results. (Source: In Vivo)

CT Derived Muscle Measures, Inflammation, and Frailty in a Cohort of Older Cancer Patients
Conclusion: Inflammation has detrimental effects on muscle mass. However, GPS or CRP alone cannot be used to identify muscle loss, and muscle measures were not associated with frailty in this series. (Source: In Vivo)

New-onset Post-transplant Diabetes and Therapy in Long-term Survivors After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Conclusion: After allo-HSCT, a significant number of patients developed PTDM and patients with acute graft-versus-host-disease were found to have a higher risk for PTDM. Long-term and continuous follow-up for diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors after HSCT is important in order to be able to provide timely and appropriate treatment. (Source: In Vivo)

Giant Intrathoracic Schwannoma: A Case Report
Conclusion: Benign intrathoracic Schwannomas are asymptomatic for long periods and the main therapeutic option is complete surgical resection. The surgical approach, either open or video-assisted is dictated by the localisation of the tumor, local extension and most importantly the size of the neurogenic mass. (Source: In Vivo)
