Background And Objectives: This study evaluates the prognostic value of venous tumor thrombus (VTT) in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) undergoing radical resection and inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy.
Methods: Retrospective review of patients with radical nephrectomy for RCC and associated VTT (2000-2024). Patients were dichotomized into Neves 0-II (infrahepatic) and Neves III-IV groups (suprahepatic) IVC involvement for univariate analysis.
Objective: To synthesize the methodologies of studies that evaluate the impacts of heat exposure on morbidity and mortality.
Methods: Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched from date of inception until 1 March 2023 for English language literature on heat exposure and health outcomes. Records were collated, deduplicated and screened, and full texts were reviewed for inclusion and data abstraction.
Treatment guidelines for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) vary by several factors including pathological stage, patient candidacy, and goal of treatment. With many therapeutics and even more combinations available in the NSCLC clinician's toolkit, a multitude of questions remain unanswered vis-a-vis treatment optimization. While some studies have begun exploring the interplay among the many pillars of NSCLC treatment-surgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy-the vast number of combinations and permutations of different therapy modalities in addition to the modulation of each constituent therapy leaves much to be desired in a field that is otherwise rapidly evolving.

- Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) generally results in fewer postoperative complications compared to open esophagectomy (OE), but the risks might be influenced by how long the surgery takes.* -
- Analyzing data from over 8,500 patients, researchers found that while MIE had a longer median operative time (402 minutes) than OE (321 minutes), the incidence of complications and 30-day mortality was lower for the MIE group.* -
- Interestingly, when comparing short-duration OE surgeries to long-duration MIE surgeries, no significant differences in complications were observed, suggesting operative time may play a role in outcome consistency across approaches.*
Background: Given resource constraints during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, we explored whether minimally invasive anatomic lung resections for early-stage lung cancer could undergo rapid discharge.
Methods: All patients with clinical stage I-II non-small cell lung cancer from September 2019 to June 2022 who underwent minimally invasive anatomic lung resection at a single institution were included. Patients discharged without a chest tube <18 hours after operation, meeting preset criteria, were considered rapid discharge.
