Background: Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) poses a significantly challenge in clinical management, requiring a multimodal treatment approach. Among innovative strategies, Total Neoadjuvant Therapy (TNT) has emerged, delivering all planned chemotherapy before surgery.
Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the real-world application and efficacy of TNT and to compare it with the non-TNT standard strategy.
Introduction: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most feared postoperative complications in colon cancer surgery due to an association with increased morbidity and mortality, although its impact on long-term survival is not consensual. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of AL on long-term survival of patients undergoing curative colon cancer resection.
Methods: A single-centre retrospective cohort study was designed.
Article Synopsis
- The paper analyzes the outcomes of bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy (BLA) performed on 5 patients suffering from Ectopic Cushing Syndrome (CS) who did not respond to medical treatment.
- A retrospective review of patient records from 2009 to 2017 reveals the clinical and surgical details, including type of surgery, hospitalization duration, and biochemical remission achieved post-operation.
- The study concludes that BLA is a successful option for managing symptoms of excessive corticosteroid production in patients with Ectopic CS resistant to other therapies, with no reported surgical fatalities.
