Synopsis: Consensus statements for the optimal management of patients with primary retroperitoneal sarcoma were updated in view of new understanding of histologic subtype-specific biology and therapeutic response. Patients should undergo investigation and treatment by an experienced multidisciplinary team at a sarcoma referral center.
Proposal for a New Pathologic Prognostic Index After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PINC)

Synopsis: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumor morphology is significantly altered by NACT. Perineural invasion, lymph node ratio, and stroma to neoplasia ratio are prognostic factors for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)-treated PDAC patients. The semi quantitative pathologic prognostic index predicts patients’ outcome after NACT followed by surgery.
