NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) provide recommended management patients with NSCLC, including diagnosis, primary treatment, surveillance relapse, and subsequent treatment. Patients metastatic lung cancer who are eligible targeted therapies or immunotherapies now surviving longer. This selection from the NSCLC focuses on actionable mutations.

Background: Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is used in borderline resectable/locally advanced (BR/LA) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Anatomic imaging (CT/MRI) poorly predicts response, and biochemical (CA 19-9) markers are not useful (nonsecretors/nonelevated) many patients. Pathologic response highly survival post-NAT, but only known postoperatively. Because metabolic (FDG-PET) reveals primary tumor viability, this study aimed to evaluate our experience with preoperative FDG-PET...

Background: Accurate staging prior to resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is imperative avoid unnecessary operative morbidity and oncologic futility in patients with occult intraabdominal distant metastases. We aimed determine the diagnostic yield laparoscopy (SL) identify factors associated increased risk positive (PL) modern era. Study Design: Patients radiographically localized PDAC who underwent SL 2017-2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The was defined as proportion...

Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that originates from the mesothelial surfaces of pleura and other sites, estimated to occur in approximately 3,500 people United States annually. Pleural mesothelioma most common type represents 85% these cases. The NCCN Guidelines for Mesothelioma: provide recommendations diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, follow-up patients with pleural mesothelioma. These Insights highlight significant updates Pleural, including revised guidance on disease classification...

Low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN) are indolent tumors that lack invasive potential but may present as pseudomyxoma peritonei. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) significantly improves both overall recurrence free survival. While systemic is generally considered ineffective for LAMN, little literature available to support this notion. We evaluated outcomes individuals with LAMN who did not receive in combination CRS+HIPEC. A...

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an integral part of preoperative treatment for patients with borderline resectable/locally advanced (BR/LA) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

After initial first-line (FL) NAC, some have lack response or therapeutic toxicities precluding further the same regimen; optimal decision making regarding this patient population unclear....

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is one of the most complex operations in surgical oncology with significant morbidity, and improved risk prediction tools are critically needed. Machine learning models can potentially overcome limitations traditional multiple logistic regression (MLR) provide accurate estimates.To develop validate an explainable machine model for predicting major postoperative complications patients undergoing CRS.This prognostic study used patient data from tertiary care...

Abstract Background The management of invasive intraductal papillary mucinous cystic neoplasm (I-IPMN) does not differ from de novo pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, I-IPMNs are debated to have better prognosis. Despite being managed similarly PDAC, no data available on the response I-IPMN neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods All patients undergoing resection for a 2011 2022 were included. PDAC and cohorts compared evaluate therapy (NAT) overall survival (OS). Results This study...

In order to characterize the degree of immunosuppression in regional immunity patients with melanoma, we used immunohistochemistry analyze markers T-cell subtype and polarity, costimulation, dendritic cell maturation, monocytes, lymphatic vasculature, angiogenesis. Specifically, analyzed expression CD4, CD8, CD14, CD40, CD86, CD123, HLA-DR, IL-10, LYVE, VEGFR3, VEGF-C lymph nodes. We compared sentinel nodes without metastasis from melanoma both infection inflamed (reactive) dormant human...

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is associated improved survival for patients colorectal peritoneal metastases (CR-PM). However, the role of neoadjuvant (NAC) prior to CRS-HIPEC poorly understood. A retrospective review adult CR-PM who underwent CRS+/-HIPEC from 2000–2017 was performed. Among 298 CRS+/-HIPEC, 196 (65.8%) received NAC while 102 (34.2%) first (SF). Patients had lower cancer index score (12.1 + 7.9 vs. 14.3 8.5, p =...

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is primarily the result of a ruptured mucinous appendix neoplasm (MAN). Often MAN lumped with but biologically distinct from intestinal appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Nodal and systemic dissemination are rare peritoneal cavity being primary site recurrence. Routine performance right hemicolectomy (RHC) for PMP/MAN has been extensively debated without consensus. Our objective was to ascertain whether RHC survival advantage over appendectomy. We hypothesize if...
