Predicting Resection Outcomes in ycT3 Esophageal Cancer
This study identifies the contact angle on preoperative CT images as a predictor for resection margins in ycT3 esophageal cancer patients, impacting surgical decision-making.
Pathological complete response predicts better outcomes in gastric cancer
Achieving pathological complete response (pcr) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy significantly improves survival in gastric and esophagogastric junction cancers.
Understanding Surgical Needs in Sigmoid Volvulus Patients
Nonoperative detorsion can often be effective for sigmoid volvulus, but some patients clearly need emergency surgery.
