Background: Intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is a rare sinonasal malignancy with poor survival. By creating a clinical and epidemiological overview of the Dutch ITAC population between 2008 and 2022, this study aims to identify areas for improvement in ITAC management.
Methods: A systematic query within the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR) was performed to assemble the nationwide ITAC cohort. Incidence calculations were performed alongside overall survival (OS) and relative survival (RS) estimations.
Results: 171 patients were included. Yearly incidence was low (0.04-0.12 per 100 000 person-years) and showed a non-significant, slight upward tendency. The population was predominantly male (92.5%), diagnosed at advanced stages (55% ≥ cT3) and sparsely presented with regional (4.7%) and/or distant metastases (5.9%). The 5-year OS (47.8%, 95% CI: 39.4%-55.6%) and RS (55.5%, 95% CI: 45.8%-64.6%) rates were poor. The addition of radiotherapy to surgery yielded better OS and RS compared to surgery alone.
Conclusion: ITAC incidence shows a minimal upward tendency in the Netherlands, and survival chances remain poor. Ongoing vigilance in high-risk industries and the further implementation of adjuvant radiotherapy may lead to improved outcomes in the future. Biology-driven research is warranted to additionally tailor treatment strategies.

Barrett's esophagus (BE), a metaplastic transformation of an esophageal squamous epithelium into an intestinal-type columnar epithelium, is the primary precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Traditional management strategies have relied heavily on selective screening, tailored surveillance intervals, and early dysplasia detection and treatment algorithms. However, the heterogeneity in progression risk among BE patients necessitates a more nuanced, personalized approach involving precision care, tailoring decisions to individual patient characteristics, promises to enhance outcomes in BE through more targeted screening, personalized surveillance intervals, and risk-based therapeutic strategies.

Background: Barrett esophagus (BE), a metaplastic adaptive process to gastrointestinal reflux, is associated with a higher risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma. However, the factors and mechanism that drive the malignant progression of BE is not well understood.
Aim: To investigate the role of bile acids, a component of the reflux fluid, in the malignant progression of BE.

Rationale: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) may perforate into adjacent organs, but pancreaticobiliary fistula caused by IPMN is rare. We present a rare case of pancreaticobiliary fistula due to a branch-duct IPMN, accelerated by a simultaneous ampullary carcinoma.
Patient Concerns: A woman in her 70s developed obstructive jaundice and cholangitis after a year of follow-up for IPMN.

Background: Sinonasal intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (ITAC) is the most common nasoethmoidal cancer in European countries. Subtypes and other prognostic factors/parameters are known to be associated with prognosis.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients affected by histologically-proven sinonasal ITAC, managed with an endoscopic surgery-centered protocol in 6 European centers.

Gastric neoplasms remain pathologies of the malignant spectrum with high incidence and prevalence, with their management requiring a precise histopathological characterization for optimal treatment planning. The present study is a retrospective analysis that included 67 histopathologically confirmed gastric neoplasia subjects and was performed at a single surgical center from January 2020 to December 2021. Demographics, tumor characteristics, surgical procedures, and oncologic outcomes were included, filtered, and subsequently analyzed using SPSS Statistics 29.
