Prophylactic cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for low-grade appendiceal mucinous tumors with early and limited disease after completely removed.

The necessity of prophylactic cytoreductive surgery (PCRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN) after complete removal is still controversial. This study aims to determine the role of PCRS + HIPEC and identify optimal strategies for managing these patients. One hundred fifty-nine patients who sought medical advice at Aerospace Center Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from January 2011 to December 2021.

Comparison of functional characterization of cancer stem cells in different tumor tissues of pseudomyxoma peritonei.

Background: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare malignant peritoneal tumor that readily recurs and metastasizes. Studies have shown that cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role in tumor recurrence, metastasis, and prognosis.

Objective: In this study, our aim was to isolate CSCs from various tissues of PMP patients and compare their proliferation, migration, and anti-inflammatory abilities.

Significance of laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery for appendiceal pseudomyxoma peritonei with limited disease and low tumor burden.

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in treating of appendiceal pseudomyxoma peritonei with limited disease and low tumor burden.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with appendiceal pseudomyxoma peritonei treated by surgery with CRS at the Aerospace Center Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into laparoscopic or open CRS groups according to the operation method.

Complete Cytoreductive Surgery vs. Debulking Surgery for pseudomyxoma peritonei of appendiceal origin: A propensity score-matched study based on a single-center experience.

Objective: This study aimed to report the prognostic predictors and compare the long-term outcomes of complete cytoreductive surgery (CCRS) vs. debulking surgery (DS) in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) of appendiceal origin.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1008 consecutive patients with PMP undergoing primary surgery from January 2008 to December 2019 was performed.

The mutational landscape and prognostic indicators of pseudomyxoma peritonei originating from the ovary.

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare disorder with unique pathological and genetic changes. Although several studies have reported the clinical features and mutational changes of PMP that originates from the appendix, few studies on PMP originating from the ovary have been reported due to its extreme rarity. In order to characterize the somatic mutational landscape and to investigate the prognosis predicting factors of ovary-originating PMP, we examined 830 cases of PMP and identified 16 patients with PMP that originated from the ovary.

[Ultrasound guided percutaneous microwave ablation in the treatment of recurrent thyroid nodules].

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of ultrasound guided microwave ablation in the treatment 01 recurrent thyroid nodules.

Method: Seventy-five cases of recurrent thyroid nodules were treated with ultrasound guided microwave ablation(MWA) under local anesthesia. All the patients underwent biopsy puncture, then the microwave ablation needle puncted in the center site of nodule with energy of 25-35 W, and the center tempera- ture could reach to 70-95 °C.
