Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

440
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Gallbladder

486
The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Biliary tract cancers encompass diverse malignancies like cholangiocarcinoma (intrahepatic, perihilar, distal) and gallbladder cancer.
  • These cancers present distinct clinical, molecular, and treatment profiles necessitating tailored management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present core competencies in the diagnosis, management, and outcomes of biliary tract cancers.
  • To align with the European Society for Surgical Oncology (ESSO) core curriculum for fellowship examinations.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of the ESSO core curriculum relevant to biliary tract cancers.
  • Incorporation of updated guidelines and consensus reports (NCCN, BGS, ESMO) for diagnosis and treatment.

Main Results:

  • Epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, staging, and (neo)adjuvant treatment of cholangiocarcinoma are detailed.
  • Current surgical management strategies and short- and long-term outcomes are discussed.
  • The importance of recognizing distinct biliary tract cancer entities for optimal care is emphasized.

Conclusions:

  • Core knowledge for the diagnosis and management of biliary tract cancers is presented.
  • This information is vital for healthcare professionals preparing for fellowship examinations and for clinical practice.
