Article Synopsis
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab, have shown effectiveness in treating metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H), though liver metastasis often indicates resistance to these therapies.
- A case study focuses on a 23-year-old man with MSI-H colorectal liver metastasis who achieved a complete pathological response after receiving pembrolizumab following chemotherapy.
- Pathological analyses revealed high PD-L1 expression in both the primary tumor and regional lymph nodes, suggesting that examining lymph nodes could help predict responses to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies in cancer treatment.
Background: Post-pneumonectomy syndrome (PPS) is a rare but serious condition that can occur after pneumonectomy. It is characterized by a mediastinal shift towards the vacated hemithorax, which can potentially lead to respiratory failure. The management of PPS poses a clinical challenge, especially in the context of the limited availability of certain therapeutic devices due to regulatory restrictions in Japan.

Methods: We planned surgical training programs for medical students and residents that we named the MANGOU (Miyazaki Advanced New General surgery Of University) training project in the Department of Surgery, Miyazaki University, Japan. From January 2016 through December 2022, we asked trainees who attended this training to complete questionnaires to evaluate their interest in surgery, confidence in surgical skills, and training.
