Mature Tertiary Lymphoid Structures Indicate Good Chemotherapy Response and Prognosis in Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In advanced colorectal cancer, tumors with mature tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) exhibited abundant infiltration of CD3‐ and CD8‐positive lymphocytes in both primary and metastatic sites, indicating an activated immune response. The presence of mature TLS was also associated with favorable chemotherapy sensitivity and improved prognosis.

Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes of Subtotal Gastrectomy for Remnant Gastric Cancer: A Multicenter Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter study compared subtotal versus completion gastrectomy for remnant gastric cancer. Subtotal gastrectomy was associated with shorter operative time and significantly less postoperative weight loss, with no difference in long‐term survival, suggesting it as a feasible surgical option without compromising oncologic outcomes.

Significance of Self‐Expandable Metallic Stent for Postoperative Intra‐Abdominal Infection After Pancreatoduodenectomy in Patients With a Hard Pancreas

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Self‐expandable metal stents (SEMS) are often used for preoperative biliary drainage in pancreatoduodenectomy (PD); however, their impact on postoperative intra‐abdominal infection (POAI) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of SEMS in relation to POAI.

Distinguishing post-treatment changes from recurrent disease in cholangiocarcinoma: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2008
Introduction Three-dimensional techniques for radiotherapy have expanded possibilities for partial volume liver radiotherapy. Characteristic, transient radiographic changes can occur in the absence of clinical radiation-induced liver disease after ...

Phase I study of dose escalation to dominant intraprostatic lesions using high-dose-rate brachytherapy. [PDF]

, 2018
PurposeRadiation dose escalation for prostate cancer improves biochemical control but is limited by toxicity. Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) can define dominant intraprostatic lesions (DIL).

Algorithm and performance of a clinical IMRT beam-angle optimization system

, 2003
This paper describes the algorithm and examines the performance of an IMRT beam-angle optimization (BAO) system. In this algorithm successive sets of beam angles are selected from a set of predefined directions using a fast simulated annealing (FSA ...

Surgical Outcomes and Recurrence Management in Borderline Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Implications for Multidisciplinary Strategies

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Multivariate analysis identified that up‐to‐7 out (p < 0.001), lymph node metastasis (p < 0.001), and non‐anatomical resection (p = 0.02) were independent predictors of cancer recurrence, while older age (p = 0.01), Child‐Pugh B (p < 0.001), up‐to‐7 out (p = 0.01), macrovascular invasion (p = 0.01), and lymph node metastasis (p < 0.001) were ...

Comparison of Minimally Invasive Colectomy Between Intra‐ Versus Extra‐Corporeal Anastomosis Technique (COMMIT Study): Mid‐Term Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter retrospective cohort study compared mid‐term oncological outcomes between intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) and extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) in minimally invasive colectomy for colon cancer using propensity score–matched data from 2018 to 2022.

The National Clinical Database Risk Calculator and the 5‐Item Modified Frailty Index Predict the Development of Postoperative Delirium After Surgery for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that combining the NCD Risk Calculator with the mFI‐5 enables more precise stratification of postoperative delirium risk in patients undergoing surgery for HCC. Patients classified as high risk by the combined model showed a markedly higher incidence of delirium than those in the intermediate‐ and low‐risk groups.
