Article Abstract
Background: This meta-analysis aimed to determine the prognostic impact of microscopically positive margins (R1) on primary gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for studies up to 23 November 2020. The pooled disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) between R1 and negative margins (R0) were estimated using a random-effects model.
Results: Twenty studies with 6,465 patients were included. Compared with R0 resection, R1 was associated with poor DFS in patients who did not receive adjuvant Imatinib (HR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.26-2.09; P = 0.48, I = 0%; reference: R0). This negative impact of R1 disappeared with the use of adjuvant Imatinib (HR: 1.23, 95% CI: 0.95-1.60; P = 0.38, I2 = 6%; reference: R0). R1 was related to poor DFS in gastric GISTs (HR: 2.15, 95% CI: 1.15-5.02, I = 0%; reference: R0), which was attenuated in the subgroup of adjuvant Imatinib (HR: 2.24, 95% CI: 0.32-15.60; P = 0.84, I = 0%; reference: R0). Rectal GIST with R1 margin who even received adjuvant Imatinib still had poor DFS (HR: 3.79, 95% CI: 1.27-11.31; P = 0.54, I = 0%; reference: R0). Patients who underwent R1 resection had similar OS compared with those underwent R0 resection regardless of the use of adjuvant Imatinib.
Conclusion: R1 was associated with poor DFS for primary GISTs, which was attenuated by adjuvant therapy with Imatinib. Similar result was observed in the gastric GISTs subgroup. Rectal GIST patients with R1 resection had poor DFS even when they received adjuvant Imatinib. The R1 margin did not influence the OS of GISTs.

Background: Metabolic reprogramming is an important hallmark of cervical cancer (CC), and extensive studies have provided important information for translational and clinical oncology. Here we sought to determine metabolic association with molecular aberrations, telomere maintenance and outcomes in CC.
Methods: RNA sequencing data from TCGA cohort of CC was analyzed for their metabolic gene expression profile and consensus clustering was then performed to classify tumors into different groups/subtypes.

Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) play a critical role in breast cancer progression. This study demonstrated that high CD66b TANs infiltration correlated with poor disease-free survival (DFS) and promoted proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells in vitro. Conversely, the immune-related long non-coding RNA C6orf99 was downregulated in breast cancer and associated with favorable DFS.

Background: Preoperative anemia is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and poor survival in colorectal cancer; however, its effects on long-term outcomes in sphincter-preserving rectal surgery remain unclear. Therefore, we analyzed the correlation among preoperative anemia, postoperative complications and surgical outcomes in sphincter-preserving rectal cancer surgeries.
Methods: Data from patients who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery for stage I–III rectal cancer between 2011 and 2015 were reviewed.
Background Non-clear cell renal cell carcinomas (nccRCCs) are a histologically heterogeneous and clinically underrepresented group of renal malignancies, distinct from clear cell RCC in morphology, molecular profile, and prognosis. Despite accounting for 20-30% of RCCs, nccRCC subtypes are infrequently studied, especially in the Indian population. This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features, immunohistochemical patterns, and oncological outcomes of primary nccRCCs in a tertiary care setting.

Background And Objectives: The current staging for gallbladder cancer (GBC) considers only the number of metastatic lymph nodes without addressing their location. This study evaluates the prognostic impact of lymph node mapping (both number and location) in node positive GBC.
Methods: Prospectively maintained operative database of operated GBC patients from April 2010 to March 2022 with positive lymph nodes was analyzed.
