Article Synopsis
  • Organ preservation through the Watch and Wait (WW) approach in rectal cancer patients shows promise but poses a risk of local regrowth (LR), leading to higher rates of distant metastases (DM) compared to traditional surgery (TME).
  • A study comparing 508 LR patients managed by WW and 893 near-complete pathologic response (nPCR) patients after TME found a significantly higher DM rate in the LR group (22.8% vs. 10.2%).
  • The research concluded that patients with LR have poorer 3-year DM-free survival (75% vs. 87%) and highlight that leaving a primary undetectable tumor can result in worse overall outcomes.

Introduction: In the context of climate change, monitoring the spatial and temporal variability of plant physiological parameters has become increasingly important. Remote spectral imaging and GIS software have shown effectiveness in mapping field variability. Additionally, the application of machine learning techniques, essential for processing large data volumes, has seen a significant rise in agricultural applications.

Background: Pathologic complete response (pCR) after multimodal treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is used as surrogate marker of success as it is assumed to correlate with improved oncologic outcome. However, long-term oncologic data are scarce.

Methods: This retrospective, multicentre study updated the oncologic follow-up of prospectively collected data from the Spanish Rectal Cancer Project database.

The use of reclaimed water is considered an efficient tool for agricultural irrigation; however, the high salinity associated to this water could compromise plant quality and yields. Balm and spearmint plants were submitted for 15 days to three irrigation treatments in a controlled chamber: control with EC: 1.2 dS m (control), reclaimed water from secondary effluent (EC: 1.
