TL;DR: Surgical resection of PETs with vascular abutment/invasion and nodal or distant metastases is indicated, and functional tumors were associated with a better overall survival and liver metastases decreased overall survival.
The epidemiology of idiopathic acute pancreatitis, analysis of the nationwide inpatient sample from 1998 to 2007.
TL;DR: Despite improving diagnostics, IAP remains a common clinical problem with a significant mortality and standardization of the clinical management of these patients warrants further investigation.
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: radiographic calcifications correlate with grade and metastasis.

TL;DR: Calcifications on preoperative computed tomography correlate with intermediate grade and lymph node metastasis in well-differentiated PNET and supports the routine dissection of regional lymph nodes through formal pancreatectomy rather than enucleation in calcified PNET.
A prospective study of total gastrectomy for CDH1-positive hereditary diffuse gastric cancer.
Yijun Chen,Kerry Kingham,James M. Ford,James H. Rosing,Jacques Van Dam,R. Brooke Jeffrey,Teri A. Longacre,Nicki Chun,Allison W. Kurian,Jeffrey A. Norton +9 more
TL;DR: The data show that asymptomatic patients with family history of HDGC and CDH1 mutation have high probability of having signet ring cell adenocarcinoma of the stomach that is not able to be diagnosed on endoscopy; when symptoms arise, the diagnosis can be made by endoscope, but they have metastases and decreased survival.
