Article Abstract
Purpose: This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the risk of recurrence in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), stratified by the American Thyroid Association (ATA) risk of recurrence, according to variable thyrotropin (TSH) cut-offs (0.1, 0.5, and 2.0 mIU/L).
Methods: We searched Ovid-Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases for studies reporting the recurrence rate of DTCs based on TSH cut-offs through March 2024. The search terms used included 'thyroid neoplasm' OR 'cancer,' 'TSH' OR 'thyroid stimulating hormone,' 'suppress' OR 'supplementation,' and 'thyroidectomy'.
Results: Two randomized controlled trials and seven observational studies, including 5,320 patients, were analyzed, with an overall recurrence rate of 18%. The pooled recurrence risk for DTCs at each TSH cut-off (0.1, 0.5, and 2.0 mIU/L) was not significant. In the subgroup analysis, the pooled hazard ratios [HRs] stratified by the ATA risk of recurrence (low- and high-risk DTCs) did not differ according to TSH levels. However, the risks of recurrence increased at serum TSH ≥0.1 mIU/L (HR 2.27, 95% CI 1.29-3.99) and TSH ≥2.0 mIU/L (HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.001-1.84) in a leave-one-out meta-analysis after removing the study that has significantly influenced the analysis. Patients with distant metastases had a higher risk of recurrence (HR 3.3, 95% CI 1.53-7.10) when maintaining TSH ≥0.1 mIU/L.
Conclusion: The degree of TSH suppression did not affect the overall risk of DTC recurrence. However, TSH suppression may be beneficial in reducing the recurrence risk in high-risk patients with distant metastases.

A major cause of cancer death, colorectal cancer is becoming more common in younger people. The comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) as surgical interventions for mid-low rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) remains uncertain. To systematically evaluate oncological, perioperative, and survival outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for mid-low rectal cancer following nCRT.

Background: Ovarian mature teratomas (OMTs) are the most common benign ovarian tumors in pediatric patients. Management in adolescents can be performed by pediatric (PSs) or gynecologic surgeons (GSs). The aim of this study was to assess the differences in OMT management and the repercussions according to the risk of secondary events.

Background: Enteric glial cells (EGCs) have been implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. This study aimed to develop and validate a prognostic model integrating EGC- and CRC-associated gene expression to predict patient survival, recurrence, metastasis, and therapy response.
Methods: Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data were analyzed, and a machine learning-based model was constructed using the RSF random forest algorithm.

Objective: Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) present a significant long-term threat to human health attributable to their toxicological properties, chemical stability and propensity for bioaccumulation. This study seeks to explore the correlation between PCDDs exposure and prostate cancer (PCa) through comprehensive analysis.
Methods: The multi-dimensional analysis was conducted based on various online databases.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i), such as abemaciclib and ribociclib, have recently been incorporated as adjuvant strategy in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) for patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative early breast cancer at higher risk of recurrence. However, despite a significant reduction in recurrence rates, a subset of patients still experiences distant metastatic spreading, with nearly 10% recurring during or shortly after adjuvant CDK4/6i completion, as observed in pivotal trials. To date, only one small retrospective study has described this emerging population while ongoing trials are not specifically addressing this scenario, leaving both the efficacy of postrelapse treatments and the biological background largely unknown.
