Journal ArticleDOI

Prevention of second primary tumors by an acyclic retinoid, polyprenoic acid, in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatoma Prevention Study Group

TL;DR: Treatment with polyprenoic acid significantly reduced the incidence of recurrent or new hepatomas in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and prevents second primary hepatomas after surgical resection of the original tumor or the percutaneous injection of ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Can endoscopic papillary balloon dilation really preserve sphincter of Oddi function

TL;DR: Preservation of papillary function after EPBD was not complete but remained somewhat reduced, and preservation was more successful with EPBD than with EST, suggesting that such preservation may be clinically beneficial for the prevention of later complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metallic stents are more efficacious than plastic stents in unresectable malignant hilar biliary strictures: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: SEMSs were associated with a longer patency than PSs in patients with unresectable hilar biliary stricture and were also more advantageous in reducing the number of reintervention sessions and the overall treatment cost.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of samples from endoscopic ultrasound-guided 19-gauge fine-needle aspiration in diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis

TL;DR: EUS-FNA, with a 19-gauge needle, is a safe and reliable procedure for obtaining pancreatic samples for the histologic analysis of AIP, and might be useful in patients without typical features of Aip because it would allow patients to avoid surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies TLL1 Variant Associated With Development of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Eradication of Hepatitis C Virus Infection

TL;DR: A strong association is found between the SNP rs17047200, located within the intron of the tolloid like 1 gene (TLL1) on chromosome 4, and development of HCC in patients who achieved an SVR to treatment for chronic HCV infection.
