Article Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent malignant tumor worldwide. Despite the advancements in surgical procedures and treatment options, CRC remains a considerable cause of cancer-related mortality. Shikonin is a naphthoquinone compound that exhibits multiple biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects as well as wound healing promotion. Recently, Shikonin has been increasingly used in basic research on colorectal malignant tumors. Therefore, we explored the mechanisms of action and structural improvements of Shikonin in colorectal cancer through a literature review to provide valuable insights for the advancement of research and development of related pharmaceuticals.

Background: With the availability of more advanced and effective treatments, life expectancy has improved among patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), but this makes communication with their medical oncologist more complex. Some patients struggle to learn about their therapeutic options and to understand and articulate their preferences. Mobile health (mHealth) apps can enhance patient-provider communication, playing a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment, quality of life, and outcomes for patients living with MBC.

Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHDS) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder caused by mutation in a tumour suppressor gene, FLCN, leading to skin tumours (fibrofolliculomas), renal tumours and pulmonary cysts. Lung involvement is predominantly observed in 70% of the cases of BHDS, manifesting in the form of recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax. This video tutorial showcases the surgical management of recurrent right primary spontaneous pneumothorax in a young adult with a history of multiple episodes of bilateral pneumothorax managed by surgical intervention previously.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as the pioneering approach for the most complex of pulmonary resections, offering high-definition 3D visualization, enhanced instrument augmentation and tremor-free tissue articulation. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform is associated with reduced peri-operative morbidity, shorter hospital admissions and faster patient recovery. However, sublobar resections such as segmentectomies remain anatomically and technically demanding, particularly in the context of resecting multiple segments, as showcased in this right S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as a leading technique for undertaking the most complex pulmonary resections, providing high-definition 3D visualization, advanced instrument control and tremor-free tissue handling. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform offers reduced peri-operative complications, shorter hospital stays and faster patient recovery. Nevertheless, sublobar resections, such as segmentectomies, remain both anatomically intricate and technically challenging, particularly when resecting multiple segments, as in this left S1 and S2 segmentectomy.
