3. Indocyanine green imaging to guide lymphadenectomy in laparoscopic distal gastrectomy-With video

   ANNALS OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY, v.69, article ID 102657, 4p, 2021

   Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most lethal malignancies and Gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is considered the standard surgical treatment. Adequate lymph node dissection is necessary for patients' prognosis, but D2 lymphadenectomy is technically demanding due to the complexity of anatomy, ...

4. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 in gastric cancer: Prognosis and association with PD-L1 expression

   JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY, v.124, n.7, p.1040-1050, 2021

   Background Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) is one of the most studied immune checkpoint in gastric cancer (GC). However, the prognostic role of CTLA-4 expression in GC is poorly described. This study aimed to evaluate CTLA-4 expression in GC and its impact on survival, includ...

5. Laparoscopic gastrectomy for early and advanced gastric cancer in a western center: a propensity score-matched analysis

   UPDATES IN SURGERY, v.73, n.5, p.1867-1877, 2021

   The employment of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in the management of gastric cancer (GC) is increasing. Despite recent results from randomized trials, its effectiveness and oncological results in different scenarios remain controversial, especially in western centers. The aim of this study was to...

7. A challenge for medium and small pancreatic transplant groups: How can the learning curve from the retrieval team affect the pancreas graft thrombosis?

   CIRUGIA ESPANOLA, v.99, n.9, p.700-701, 2021

8. The altered serum lipidome and its diagnostic potential for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver (NAFL)-associated hepatocellular carcinoma

   EBIOMEDICINE, v.73, article ID 103661, 13p, 2021

   Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is affecting more people globally. Indeed, NAFLD is a spectrum of metabolic dysfunctions that can progress to hepatocellular carcinoma (NAFLD-HCC). This development can occur in a non-cirrhotic liver and thus, often lack clinical surveillance....

9. Anorectal Mucosal Melanoma: A Case Report and Literature Review

   AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CASE REPORTS, v.22, article ID e933032, 5p, 2021

   Objective: Rare disease Background: Anorectal mucosal melanoma (AMM) is a rare and aggressive neoplasm, with a 5-year survival rate of 10%. Due to its rarity and nonspecific symptoms, the diagnosis is often made late. Surgical resection remains the criterion standard for treatment of anorectal me...

10. DOES THE DROP IN PORTAL PRESSURE AFTER ESOPHAGOGASTRIC DEVASCULARIZATION AND SPLENECTOMY INFLUENCE THE VARIATION OF VARICEAL CALIBERS AND THE REBLEEDING RATES IN SCHISTOSOMIASIS IN LATE FOLLOW-UP?

    ABCD-ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS DE CIRURGIA DIGESTIVA-BRAZILIAN ARCHIVES OF DIGESTIVE SURGERY, v.34, n.2, article ID e1581, 4p, 2021
