A Clinical Prediction Model to Assess Risk for Pancreatic Cancer Among Patients With New-Onset Diabetes
Approximately 50% of all patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) develop diabetes mellitus before their cancer diagnosis. Screening individuals with new-onset diabetes might allow earlier diagnosis of PDA. We sought to develop and validate… Continue reading

Submucosal Tunneling Endoscopic Resection for En Bloc Removal of Large Esophageal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal subepithelial tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs have malignant potential, with size (>5 cm) and mitotic count (>5/50 high-power fields) the most useful predictors of malignant behavior.1 The management of localized GISTs has traditionally been surgical resection with avoidance of tumor rupture. In the era of modern medicine, we are encountering older patients with a higher proportion of comorbidities that have significant perioperative surgical risk. Continue reading
