Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the impact of trainee involvement in surgery on perioperative and oncological outcomes of patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC).
Materials And Methods: We reviewed the records of patients undergoing RC for urothelial carcinoma between 2000 and 2015 at our institution. Trainee level was categorized as fellow, chief, senior and junior residents. Demographic, perioperative and oncological outcomes were recorded and compared between the groups. Specifically, operative time, 30-day complications, severe complications (Clavien III-V) and oncological outcomes (overall, cancer-specific and recurrence-free survival) were assessed.
Results: A total of 895 patients were included for study. On multivariable analysis, operative times were 30-40 minutes longer in procedures assisted by junior residents as compared to more senior trainees. Notably, trainee level was not associated with overall or severe complications on multivariable analyses. Similarly, trainee level was not associated with oncologic outcomes.
Conclusion: While cases assisted by junior residents had longer operative times, complication rates and oncological outcomes were comparable across trainee groups. Trainee level does not appear to have an impact on perioperative and oncological outcomes of RC for urothelial carcinoma.

Background: Salvage surgery (SS) is one of the best treatment options for recurrent oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) after prior definitive radiation.
Methods: A Medline literature search of articles on open (OSS) and transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the treatment of recurrent OPSCC was performed. Surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes were analyzed and compared.

Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) treatments can impair fertility in young women, causing considerable distress and potentially influencing treatment decisions, yet comprehensive real-world data on pregnancy outcomes after BC remain limited. This study aims to provide comprehensive real-world data on pregnancy following BC treatment to guide clinical practice and patient counseling.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using medical records from a single tertiary medical center in South Korea.
Evaluating the Oncologic and Safety Outcomes of High-Dose Palliative Radiation Treatment with 30 Grays in Five Fractions.

Introduction In select tumor sites, symptom palliation and local control can be improved through delivering higher biological equivalent doses (BED) of radiotherapy. However, not all patients are suitable candidates for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The 30 Grays in five fractions (30/5) regimen is a conformal, hypofractionated regimen that offers a higher BED compared to conventional palliative radiotherapy.

Objectives: Hepatocellular carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and almost all patients have simultaneous cirrhosis. For patients with hepatocellular carcinoma concurrent with cirrhosis, the best treatment option is liver transplant. With expansion of transplant criteria and increased use of liver transplant for treatment, median survival and recurrence rates in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma have also increased.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the only cancer in men to exhibit androgen sensitivity at diagnosis, which has allowed for the development of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, outcomes in high-risk PCa (HRPCa) remain significantly worse than low risk disease and the use of ADT varies among treatment algorithms and medical specialties. In men treated with radiation, testosterone recovery after completing ADT has been associated with oncologic outcomes.
