Objective: Assess outcomes of patients with right-sided colon cancer with metastases in the D3 volume after personalized surgery.
Background: Patients with central lymph node metastasis (D3-PNG) are considered to have a systemic disease with a poor prognosis. A 3-dimensional definition of the dissection volume allows the removal of all central nodes.
Materials And Methods: D3-PNG includes consecutive patients from an ongoing clinical trial. Patients were stratified into residual disease negative (D3-RDN) and residual disease positive (D3-RDP) groups. D3-RDN was further stratified into 4 periods to identify a learning curve. A personalized D3 volume (defined through arterial origins and venous confluences) was removed " en bloc" through medial-to-lateral dissection, and the D3 volume of the specimen was analyzed separately.
Results: D3-PNG contained 42 (26 females, 63.1 SD 9.9 y) patients, D3-RDN:29 (17 females, 63.4 SD 10.1 y), and D3-RDP:13 (9 females, 62.2 SD 9.7 y). The mean overall survival (OS) days were D3-PNG:1230, D3-RDN:1610, and D3-RDP:460. The mean disease-free survival (DFS) was D3-PNG:1023, D3-RDN:1461, and D3-RDP:74 days. The probability of OS/DFS were D3-PNG:52.1%/50.2%, D3-RDN:72.9%/73.1%, D3-RDP: 7.7%/0%. There is a significant change in OS/DFS in the D3-RDN from 2011-2013 to 2020-2022 (both P =0.046) and from 2014-2016 to 2020-2022 ( P =0.028 and P =0.005, respectively).
Conclusion: Our results indicate that surgery can achieve survival in most patients with central lymph node metastases by removing a personalized and anatomically defined D3 volume. The extent of mesenterectomy and the quality of surgery are paramount since a learning curve has demonstrated significantly improved survival over time despite the low number of patients. These results imply a place for the centralization of this patient group where feasible.

Cystic lesions of the head and neck encompass a wide spectrum of benign and malignant entities, which often presents diagnostic challenges as a result of the region's complex anatomy. Despite extensive literature, variability persists in diagnostic strategies and approaches. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a commonly used and highly effective method for the initial assessment of these lesions by offering a minimally invasive technique to collect cellular material for diagnostic evaluation.

Background: The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) for accurate staging and prognosis for esophageal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ELN count on pathologic staging and survival outcomes and to develop a predictive model for lymph node positivity in this patient population.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and a multicenter cohort.

Purpose: The fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women is cervical cancer. Though treatment of early-stage cervical cancer is often effective, middle and advanced stage cervical cancer is hard to treat and prone to recurrence. We sought to explore the mechanism underlying cervical cancer progression to identify new therapeutic approaches.

Background: The diagnostic accuracy of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for the diagnosis of lymphoma has a low overall sensitivity. The lack of tissue architecture obtained by cytological needles decreases the diagnostic accuracy for diagnosis and subtyping of and relapsed mediastinal lymphomas. This study compares the sensitivity of EBUS-TBNA and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy (EBUS-TMC) for both initial lymphoma diagnosis and recurrent cases, analyses safety, and evaluates the number of mediastinoscopies that could potentially be avoided due to this novel technique.
