Association Between Tumor-Infiltrating Immune Cells and Early Recurrence in Ampulla of Vater Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cureus)
However, the present results should be interpreted as exploratory and hypothesis-generating. Further large-scale studies are warranted to clarify the biological significance of these immune features and their potential therapeutic implications.

Epidemiology, clinical, molecular features, and prognosis of early-onset biliary tract cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, JHEP Rep)
However, it also reinforces the need for careful patient selection to avoid unnecessary surgical morbidity when the anticipated oncological benefit is limited. Overall, these findings emphasize the need for prospective, age-stratified studies to better define prognostic models and guide personalized therapeutic approaches for this distinct patient population.

Advanced Ampullary Cancer: post-hoc analysis of the ABC-01, -02 and -03 clinical trials. (PubMed, Oncologist)
Patients with advanced AC formed the "Descriptive cohort," while those treated with cisplatin-gemcitabine (CisGem) comprised the "CisGem-treated cohort." Among 534 trial participants, 28 (5.24%) had AC, and 17 received CisGem. Molecular profiling has revealed potentially actionable alterations, including HER2 amplification and KRAS mutations, supporting precision oncology approaches. This study provides the most comprehensive reference dataset to date for advanced AC treated with CisGem and emphasizes the importance of international collaboration and molecularly guided research to improve outcomes in this rare malignancy.
