Article Abstract
Objective: While growing evidence supports the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) as a prognostic indicator for various cancers, its predictive value in pancreatic cancer remains unclear. This meta-analysis systematically evaluates GNRI's ability to predict postoperative complications and long-term outcomes in pancreatic cancer patients.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search across nine databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, WanFang, CNKI, VIP, and SinoMed) through June 1, 2025. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess overall survival (OS), while risk ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs evaluated postoperative complications.
Results: From 233 initially identified studies, 10 met inclusion criteria (n = 2,003 patients). Pooled analysis revealed that lower GNRI significantly predicted worse OS (HR = 1.92, 95% CI 1.54-2.41, < 0.0001) and higher postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) incidence (RR = 0.18, 95% CI 0.08-0.43, < 0.001). No significant association was found between GNRI and post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) (RR = 0.21, 95% CI 0.03-1.53, = 0.13).
Conclusion: GNRI shows promise as a clinically useful predictor of OS and POPF in pancreatic cancer patients. However, these findings require validation through prospective multicenter studies.

Unlabelled: Pancreatic signet ring cell carcinoma (PSRCC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of pancreatic cancer with a dismal prognosis. We present the case of a 50-year-old male who, within six weeks, developed a pancreatic mass with liver metastases. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed PSRCC.

Unlabelled: Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is caused by antibody-mediated destruction of red blood cells. There are two broad categories of AIHA: warm and cold, both categorized by the thermal reactivity of the autoantibodies. Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) occurs at temperatures below normal body temperature and primarily involves IgM antibodies.

Introduction: There are no reports of patients undergoing McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer after undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer. We report the case of a patient who underwent subtotal esophagectomy and colon reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy using the mesenteric approach.
Case Presentation: A 71-year-old male was diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal malignancies, with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Recent advances in cancer genomic analysis enable the identification of actionable gene alterations, opening new opportunities for personalized therapy. Among these, homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR) gene alterations are associated with distinct biological behavior, favorable prognosis, and increased sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy.

Background: USP37, a versatile deubiquitinase, plays a pivotal role in numerous cellular functions. Although its involvement in cancer development is well-established, the comprehensive pan-cancer analysis of USP37 remains relatively uncharted.
Methods: RNA sequencing data from both normal and cancerous tissues were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases.
