Robotic Colorectal Surgery

Yonsei Medical Journal, 2008
Robotic colorectal surgery has gradually been performed more with the help of the technological advantages of the da Vinci system. Advanced technological advantages of the da Vinci system compared with standard laparoscopic colorectal surgery have been reported. These are a stable camera platform, three-dimensional imaging, excellent ergonomics, tremor

A comparative study of circulating tumor cell isolation and enumeration technologies in lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Lung cancer cells were spiked into donor blood to evaluate the recovery rates of the following circulating tumor cell (CTC) enrichment technologies: CellMag™, EasySep™, RosetteSep™, Parsortix® PR1, and Parsortix® Prototype systems. Each method's advantages and disadvantages are described.

NIR ICG-Enhanced Fluorescence: A Quantitative Evaluation of Bowel Microperfusion and Its Relation to Central Perfusion in Colorectal Surgery [PDF]

Cancers 2023, 15, 23, 5528
Background: To date, no standardized protocols nor a quantitative assessment of the near-infrared fluorescence angiography with indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) are available. The aim of this study was to evaluate the timing of fluorescence as a reproducible parameter and its efficacy in predicting anastomotic leakage (AL) in colorectal surgery.

The CEA Second-Look Trial: a randomised controlled trial of carcinoembryonic antigen prompted reoperation for recurrent colorectal cancer [PDF]

, 2014
Objective In patients who have undergone a potentially curative resection of colorectal cancer, does a ‘second-look’ operation to resect recurrence, prompted by monthly monitoring of carcinoembryonic antigen, confer a survival benefit?Design A randomised

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

The shared weighted Lindley frailty model for cluster failure time data [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
The primary goal of this paper is to introduce a novel frailty model based on the weighted Lindley (WL) distribution for modeling clustered survival data. We study the statistical properties of the proposed model. In particular, the amount of unobserved heterogeneity is directly parameterized on the variance of the frailty distribution such as gamma ...

Sample entropy of sEMG signals at different stages of rectal cancer treatment [PDF]

Entropy 2018, 20(11), 863, 2018
Information theory provides a spectrum of nonlinear methods capable of grasping an internal structure of a signal together with an insight into its complex nature. In this work, we discuss the usefulness of the selected entropy techniques for a description of the information carried by the surface electromyography signals during colorectal cancer ...

Downregulation of hsa-miR-135b-5p Inhibits Cell Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion in Colon Adenocarcinoma

Genetics Research, 2022
Colon cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal tract, and approximately 80%–90% of colon cancers are colon adenocarcinomas (COADs). This study aimed to screen key microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with COAD. Differentially expressed (
