“…Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes are rare and have heterogenous neurologic clinical features [ 18 , 30 ]. The little epidemiological data available in the literature [ 11 ] mainly concern oncology and “secondary care”, indicating a frequency of about 0.01–8% in oncology patients and a high incidence of PNSs associated with SCLC, gynecological tumors and blood disorders [ 9 , 21 ].…”

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNSs) are a heterogeneous group of rare immune-mediated diseases associated with cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of PNSs in the province of Brescia. PNS prevalence was calculated using the Lombardy regional hospital admission records from 1998 to 2003. We used the website “Epidemiologic and Economic Atlas of Hospital Activities in Lombardy” and the “International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems”. In the province of Brescia, we found 54 cases of PNSs, 29 with subacute neuropathies, five with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration and 20 with encephalomyelitis. Peripheral nervous system diseases were the most frequent neurological disorders. In Lombardy, the number of PNS patients admitted was 322 (133 with encephalomyelitis, 21 with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, 166 with polyneuropathies and two with optic degeneration). In Lombardy, the prevalence of PNSs was 25 in 100,000 hospital admissions and 5.92 in 100,000 for the Lombardy population. Our results show a discrete presence of PNS patients in the province of Brescia and in the Lombardy region as a whole.

“…Oncology shines brightly, shares holders greatly and teaches a very good example that demonstrates what happens if the code for the adequate translation of symptoms and signs gets lost. The vascular system and/or the inner and outer skins and surfaces of the human body may get involved in a cancer-mediated immune stress response, which orchestrates a socalled para-neoplastic manifestation [11][12][13]. Thus the underlying cancer (colon, lung, breast, prostate, kidney-cell cancer) provokes dermatitis, enteritis, thrombosis etc.…”

“…Thus the underlying cancer (colon, lung, breast, prostate, kidney-cell cancer) provokes dermatitis, enteritis, thrombosis etc. Therefore, it is essential for medical teaching and education to foster awareness of this type of cancer-induced phenomena [11][12][13]. Otherwise, the lack of code and inability to adequately read the symptoms and signs may have major consequences for patients.…”

Dear reader, Welcome to this issue of European Surgery. YOUR eyes may catch what you like. YOUR choice may echo the taste of your mind. Wherever you are, whatever emotion you share, whomsoever you owe respect, attention and love: science is all about YOU. The highly motivated group of authors, co-authors, reviewers and the publisher are to be congratulated for having chosen, designed and orchestrated this welltuned spectrum of beautiful papers. In line with the aims, scopes and focus of European Surgery the publications include themes, topics and stories from the fields of minimally invasive surgery, liver shark delivery of cysts, pancreas pancakes, rolls and tissues of wave-like oncologic disease management for interdisciplinary diagnosis including the treatment of conditions that definitely impair the quality of life, productivity and well-being of humans in Europe and abroad, since, as a matter of fact, any long sentence will find its end. Thus, the scientific stories definitely express what should be clear for everyone reading those lines: no surgeon is an island, no echo stands alone. Therefore, let us understand: surgery means team work. Surgery implies team work. It is not enough to talk about it. It is not enough to refer to it. YOU have to live it. YOU have to teach it. No educator is an island. Stay away from miserable politics, hypocrites, greed, hate, envy, emotional thunder and war. Look out for those things we have in common, search for those qualities we share and we all need: respect, understanding, fairness and honesty. As long as you all can do so, the better you may design the character, ambitions and motivations of your team, working place
