Description
Shohei Motohashi and co-authors report a single patient case from 2025: a hormone-making tumor in the pancreas head that had spread to the liver. The tumor released a hormone that drove the body to make too much cortisol, causing swelling and weight gain.
A mapping test, which samples blood after stimulating each artery in turn, showed the liver tumors released most of the hormone. The team therefore removed the liver tumors first with keyhole surgery. Three months later, with no new spread, they removed the pancreas tumor the same way. At twenty-one months after surgery the patient stayed free of the disease. The case shows mapping can guide staged surgery.
