Calorimetry has become a well-understood, powerful, and versatile measurement method. Besides perfecting this technique to match increasingly demanding operation at high-energy particle accelerators, physicists are developing low-temperature calorimeters to extend detection down to ever lower energies, and atmospheric and deep-sea calorimeters to scrutinize the universe up to the highest energies. The authors summarize the state of the art, with emphasis on the physics of the detectors and innovative technologies.

Tumour growth is more dispersed in pancreatic head cancers than in rectal cancer: implications for resection margin assessment

Aims:  The UK definition of microscopic resection margin involvement (R1) in pancreatic head cancer, based on tumour lying <1 mm from the margin, has been adopted from rectal cancer, but has never been validated The aim of this study was to assess the adequacy of the R1 definition for pancreatic head cancers by comparing the growth patterns of rectal (RC), pancreatic (PC), ampullary (AC) and distal bile duct (DBC) adenocarcinomas

Methods and results:  Distances between tumour cells and tumour cell density in the tumour centre and periphery were quantified by Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) analysis in 10 cases of the four cancer groups In RC, the MST distance was similar throughout the entire width of the tumour, whereas in PC, DBC and AC it was significantly larger at the periphery than at the tumour centre (P ≤ 0003) While results were similar for PC and DBC, however, distances at the centre and periphery of both cancers were larger compared to AC (P ≤ 0046) Tumour cell density dropped at the periphery of PC to 31% of that at the centre, compared to 83% in RC (P < 00002)

Conclusions:  Tumour growth in pancreatic head cancers is more dispersed than in RC, particularly in the tumour periphery Revision of the R1 definition for pancreatic head cancer may therefore need to be considered
