BackgroundThere is limited randomized evidence on the comparative outcomes of early-stage lung cancer resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) versus open resection.MethodsWe conducted a parallel-group multicenter trial that recruited participants with known or suspected and randomly assigned them to VATS their lesions. The primary outcome was physical function at 5 weeks as measure recovery using European Organisation for Research Treatment Cancer core health-related quality...

Abstract The introduction of the International Association for Study Lung Cancer grading system has furthered interest in histopathological risk stratification lung adenocarcinoma. Complex morphology and high intratumoral heterogeneity present challenges to pathologists, prompting development artificial intelligence (AI) methods. Here we developed ANORAK (pyrAmid pooliNg crOss stReam Attention networK), encoding multiresolution inputs with an attention mechanism, delineate growth patterns...

8504 Background: Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a popular access for lung cancer resection. However, there limited information from RCTs in-hospital to one-year clinical efficacy, safety and oncologic outcomes of minimal approach. Methods: VIOLET parallel group multi-center RCT conducted in 9 centers the United Kingdom that recruited participants with known or suspected (cT1-3, N0-1 M0) (ISRCTN13472721).

Nighttime organ transplantation aims to decrease cold ischemia duration, yet conflicting data exists on its impact graft function and perioperative complications. This multicenter TRANSPLANT’AFUF study including 2,854 patients, transplanted between 1 January 2011, 31 December 2022, investigated nighttime kidney transplantation’s (8:00 p.m.–8:00 a.m.) versus daytime a.m.–8:00 p.m.) surgical complications survival. Overall, 2043 patients (71.6%) underwent graft, while 811 (28.4%) graft. No was...
