Effect of Preoperative Immunonutrition on Postoperative Major Morbidity after Cytoreductive Surgery and HIPEC in Patients with Peritoneal Metastasis.

The effect of preoperative immunonutrition intake on postoperative major complications in patients following cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) was assessed. The accuracy of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) for detecting postoperative complications was also analyzed. Patients treated within a peritoneal carcinomatosis program in which a complete or optimal cytoreduction was achieved were retrospectively analyzed.

Effect of home-based prehabilitation in an enhanced recovery after surgery program for patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Surgery remains the first curative treatment for colorectal cancer. Prehabilitation seems to attenuate the loss of lean mass in the early postoperative period. However, its long-term role has not been studied.

Tolerance to Specific Foods After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Purpose: We assessed the degree of tolerance to different types of food after LSG to provide specific useful advice concerning food intake to these patients during the first postoperative year.

Methods: A specific questionnaire measuring tolerance to 59 types of food was completed in postoperative months 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 in a prospective consecutive cohort of patients who underwent LSG. An ordinal score of tolerance based on the median (Me) and a cumulative link ordinal model (CLOM) analyzing temporal variability in oral tolerance to each type of food were used.

The Colonoscopy Satisfaction and Safety Questionnaire (CSSQP) for Colorectal Cancer Screening: A Development and Validation Study.

Colonoscopy services working in colorectal cancer screening programs must perform periodic controls to improve the quality based on patients' experiences. However, there are no validated instruments in this setting that include the two core dimensions for optimal care: satisfaction and safety. The aim of this study was to design and validate a specific questionnaire for patients undergoing screening colonoscopy after a positive fecal occult blood test, the Colonoscopy Satisfaction and Safety Questionnaire based on patients' experience (CSSQP).

Initial results of the oesophageal and gastric cancer registry from the Comunidad Valenciana.

Aims: To evaluate the initial results of the oesophagogastric cancer registry developed for the Sociedad Valenciana de Cirugía and the Health Department of the Comunidad Valenciana (Spain).

Methods: Fourteen of the 24 public hospitals belonging to the Comunidad Valenciana participated. All patients with diagnosis of oesophageal or gastric carcinomas operated from January 2013 to December 2014 were evaluated.

[Application of the EUSOMA criteria in breast units in countries of the European Union].

All the countries of the European Union face similar challenges when providing adequate and high quality treatment in oncology. A working party was established to consider what should comprise a specialist service and the Requirements of a Breast Unit, published in 2000, represent the opinion of the European Society of Mastology (EUSOMA) on the standards required for creating high quality Breast Cancer Units across Europe. We studied the application of the mandatory requisites and general recommendations of EUSOMA: critical mass, or minimum number of patients, core team (composition and specific training), quality assurance, and application of diagnostic and treatment protocols.
