Minimally invasive enucleation of pancreatic tumors has become a focal topic in the field of pancreatic surgery. This technique, which allows for complete tumor removal while preserving maximal pancreatic function, has seen widespread application in clinical practice in recent years. Preoperative evaluation is essential, requiring a thorough assessment of the necessity, feasibility, and appropriateness of surgery, and a careful choice between follow-up observation, parenchyma-sparing resection, or radical resection. If the lesion carries a potential risk of malignancy, radical resection, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy, should be performed. During minimally invasive local resection, selecting an appropriate surgical approach, accurately localizing the tumor, protecting the main pancreatic duct (MPD), and effectively repairing and reconstructing the MPD in case of injury are key to ensuring both surgical safety and efficacy. In addition, pancreatic wound management and the long-term prognosis of patients who undergo MPD repair and reconstruction are also areas of significant concern.
3.Current status and progress of ALPPS
Chinese Journal of Surgery 2025;63(4):265-270
Surgical resection is the mainstay of curative treatment for long-term survival of patients with liver cancer. However, many patients are excluded for surgical resection due to insufficient future liver remnant(FLR). The two-stage hepatectomy (induction of FLR hypertrophy followed by tumor resection) is one of the main treatment strategies for insufficient FLR. The new associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is an important innovative procedure for inducing FLR hypertrophy, which has the advantages of rapid and significant induction of FLR hypertrophy as well as high tumor resection rate, but it was controversial in the early years due to high postoperative morbidity and mortality. After more than 10 years of development, ALPPS has made tremendous advance. Surgical safety of ALPPS has been significantly improved, and oncological benefits and other issues have been largely clarified. This article aims to introduce the current status and progress of ALPPS.
4.Application and challenges of neoadjuvant therapy in gastric cancer in the immunotherapy era
Chinese Journal of Surgery 2025;63(11):998-1004
The emergence of neoadjuvant immunotherapy and neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy has further elevated the status of neoadjuvant therapy in the treatment of gastric cancer. These new approaches have shown potential in improving the pathologic complete response rate and patient survival rate,providing more treatment options for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. However,the application of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in gastric cancer still faces some challenges. On the one hand,only a portion of patients can benefit from immunotherapy,and how to accurately screen this group of patients is currently the focus of research. On the other hand,adverse reactions related to immunotherapy also require attention and proper management,such as the occurrence of immune related adverse reactions that may affect patients' quality of life and treatment compliance. Meanwhile,the new adjuvant immunotherapy has brought new challenges to the traditional concept of radical surgery. Such as changes in surgical methods, scope of lymph node dissection, etc. Therefore, in the future, it is necessary to further explore biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of immunotherapy, screen potential beneficiaries, and optimize treatment plans to improve the effectiveness and safety of immunotherapy, in order to achieve the maximum value of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the heterogeneous lineage of cancer-associated fibroblast(CAF)in clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC),and explore the relationship between antigen-presentation carcinoma-associated fibroblast(apCAF)and the spatial distribution and formation potential of tertiary lymphoid structure(TLS).Methods Seven single-cell transcriptomic cohorts(n=88)were integrated,and batch effects were corrected using the Harmony algorithm to identify consistent CAF subpopulations across samples.The spatial transcriptomics(GSE175540,n=24)were combined to analyze the spatial interactions between CAF and TLS.Functional annotation was performed using AUCell,and Wilcoxon test was employed to compare the differences in CAF abundance between the immune-sensitive group and the resistant group.The co-localization of TLS with different chemokines was assessed.Results Nine conserved CAF clusters were defined,which were reproducible across different cohorts.Among them,Fibro 4 served as an antigen-presenting type of apCAF,characterized by high expression of HLA-DRA/CD74,and abundance in the immune-sensitive group;its functions were enriched in T cell activation pathways;it was strongly correlated with TLS,and positioned at the periphery of TLS.Cell co-localization analysis revealed that apCAF could recruit lymphocytes to aggregate and form TLS structures via the CXCL13-CXCR5 and CCL19-CCR7 axes.Conclusion This study first reveals that apCAF drives the formation of TLS in ccRCC through a chemokine network,thereby correlating with the response to immunotherapy.The apCAF-TLS axis provides a new strategy for targeting stromal remodeling in the immune microenvironment,and its combined scoring is expected to serve as a biomarker for predicting the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade therapy.
