Article Synopsis
- National guidelines recommend segmental colectomy for appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms larger than 2.0 cm due to risks of lymph node involvement, with conditional overall survival becoming an important prognostic tool.
- A study of 3,541 patients revealed that 16% had positive lymph nodes, and factors like size, depth of invasion, and lymphovascular involvement were correlated with metastasis.
- The findings suggest that more clinicopathologic factors should influence decisions on surgical treatment and surveillance for better survival rates, especially for patients with more aggressive histologies.
Food is medicine (FIM) interventions are a strategy for preventing and managing chronic disease via diet. These interventions often combine the provision of food with access to behavior change support (e.g.

- Pelvic exenterations (PEs) are complex surgeries aimed at treating advanced rectal cancer, with the study focusing on national patterns and outcomes instead of single-center data.* -
- From 673 patients, 76% received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 24% had positive margins after surgery; younger age and post-surgery chemotherapy improved overall survival, while positive margins worsened prognosis.* -
- The study concluded that a significant portion of patients had positive resections, highlighting the importance of achieving negative margins in surgical procedures for better patient outcomes.*
This strategic plan summarizes the major accomplishments achieved in the last quinquennial by the soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] genetics and genomics research community and outlines key priorities for the next 5 years (2024-2028).
