Article Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent imaging has been used in colorectal surgery to assess intraoperative blood flow to the colon. However, its use has expanded to allow imaging of the lymphatic drainage within the mesentery in cancer resections. This technique can been used for real-time visualization of lymph nodes, and the detection of sentinel lymph nodes, lateral sidewall nodes, metastatic lymph nodes, and peritoneal metastases. Ultimately, this provides a more informative map of the mesentery displaying lymphatics and blood flow. The technique is economical and easy to use by the surgeon intraoperatively. ICG lymphangiography has the potential to aid the surgeon to ensure complete lymphadenectomy is performed in cancer resections.

Objective: The retrieval of 12 lymph nodes (LNs) remains a crucial criterion for accurate staging and prognosis evaluation in rectal cancer (RC). However, some patients fail to meet this threshold after surgery. This study developed a nomogram model based on clinical variables to predict the probability of retrieving 12 LNs postoperatively.

Introduction: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) exhibits significant heterogeneity in molecular profiles, influencing treatment response and patient outcomes. Mutations in v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 () and rat sarcoma () family genes are commonly observed in mCRC. Though originally thought to be mutually exclusive, recent data have shown that patients may present with concomitant and mutations, posing unique challenges and implications for clinical management.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in humans, accounting for about 30-40% of NHL cases worldwide. Canine diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (cDLBCL) is the most common lymphoma subtype in dogs and demonstrates an aggressive biologic behaviour. For tissue biopsies, current confirmatory diagnostic approaches for enlarged lymph nodes rely on expert histopathological assessment, which is time-consuming and requires specialist expertise.

Mast cell tumors (MCTs) are the most common skin neoplasms in dogs and exhibit highly variable biological behavior. Metastasis primarily affects the lymph nodes, though less frequently, MCTs can infiltrate the spleen, liver, peripheral blood, and bone marrow. Flow cytometry of fine needle aspirate samples represents a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that has shown promise for detecting and quantifying mast cells in primary tumors and lymph nodes.

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.
