TL;DR: This study found that adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 can be a new standard care for resected pancreatic cancer in Japanese patients and estimated overall and relapse-free survival using the Kaplan-Meier methods and assessed non-inferiority of S-2 to gemcitabine using the Cox proportional hazard model.

TL;DR: The prognosis of patients with HCC can be well discriminated based solely on serum markers, and combination at the time of HCC diagnosis of these three tumor markers and serum albumin and bilirubin levels can be used for HCC staging and further predicts prognosis in patients withHCC.

TL;DR: The correct preoperative diagnosis of obturator hernia was facilitated by CT of the pelvis, but it has no impact on patient outcome and the intraoperative findings, occurrence of postoperative complications, and overall mortality rates were similar between the two groups.

TL;DR: In patients with AFP <20 ng/mL, measurements of AFP‐L3% by the highly sensitive method before treatment were more useful for diagnosis and prognosis of HCC than by the conventional method.

TL;DR: Tumor markers AFP-L3 and DCP appear to represent different features of tumor progression in patients with HCC, and the number of tumor markers present could be useful for the evaluation of tumors progression, prediction of patient outcome, and treatment efficacy.
