A translational symposium that focuses on the evolving role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in early detection of pancreatic cancer, genetic testing and novel molecular diagnostic bio-markers and recent advances in digital tools that can be applied to enhance early detection and imp…

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic Snare Papillectomy (ESP) is a minimally invasive option for the management of noninvasive ampullary adenomas…

BACKGROUND: Around 15% of acute pancreatitis patients develop necrosis of the pancreatic/peri-pancreatic tissue resulting in necrotic debris surrounded by a wall of granulation tissue called “walled-off pancreas necrosis” (WON)…

Early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC diagnosed before age 50) has risen worldwide, with an increasing number of survivors of reproductive age. We aimed to investigate the risk of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes among early-onset CRC survivors…

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and prediabetes are common complications of acute pancreatitis (AP) and have aroused general concern in recent years. The underlying mechanisms need to be addressed…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Currently, most patients with branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (BD-IPMN) are offered indefinite surveillance, resulting in health care costs with questionable benefits regarding cancer prevention…

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer (PC) features highly proliferative cancer cells and a dense stroma modulating tumor growth. Due to the invasive behavior of PC and the lack of effective treatments, there is a pressing need to develop therapies targeted at tumorigenic events to slow down PC progression…

BACKGROUND: Obesity and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are substantial risk factors for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Both obesity and T2DM are often linked to aberrant insulin processing in β cells and altered liver lipid metabolism…

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PC) is a deadly cancer with a rapidly rising incidence and a low 5-year relative survival rate…

OBJECTIVE. Chronic Pancreatitis (CP) has a detrimental impact on quality of life (QOL). However, with one exception, literature on QOL in CP is limited to cross-sectional data, hindering our ability to understand temporal changes and identify potentially modifiable factors…

This session will focus on the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis from three perspectives: translational, clinical and population medicine…
