Article Synopsis
- Surgery for esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) faces challenges like lymph node metastasis and severe complications, leading this study to assess lymph node involvement and postoperative issues in patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery with extended lymphadenectomy.
- This research tracked 74 ESCC patients, noting a 39.2% lymph node metastasis rate, with significant factors including tumor size, stage, and preoperative treatment.
- Post-surgery, common complications were pneumonia (25.7%), recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (10.8%), and anastomotic leaks (4.1%), but there were no conversions to open surgery or deaths within 90 days.
Pulmonary angiosarcoma is a rare clinical entity with a poor prognosis and no established therapeutic strategies. We present the first case to our knowledge of metastatic pulmonary angiosarcoma, treated with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy, and have an excellent response. Until now, patient has been treated with immunotherapy for 1 year, and his disease is stable and well-tolerated.

Background: Hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC) metastasis include intrahepatic and extrahepatic metastasis. Similar to intrahepatic metastasis, extrahepatic metastases are not unusual in cases with HCC. However, colonic metastasis is infrequent.

Intraventricular fibrinolysis (IVF) with low-dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) can be used to improve patient outcomes. Here, we evaluated the impact of IVF on the risk of death and the functional outcomes in IVH patients with AOH.
