Background: Despite trimodality treatment, 10% to 20% of patients with esophageal cancer experience interval metastases after surgery. Restaging may identify patients who should not proceed to surgery, as well as a subgroup with limited metastases for whom long-term disease-control can be obtained. This study aimed to determine the proportion of patients with interval metastases after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and to evaluate treatment and survival.

Importance: Suboptimal surgical performance is hypothesized to be associated with less favorable patient outcomes in minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE). Establishing this association may lead to programs that promote better surgical performance of MIE and improve patient outcomes.

Objective: To investigate associations between surgical performance and postoperative outcomes after MIE.

Article Synopsis
  • A nationwide study in the Netherlands aimed to compare the outcomes of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy and open pancreatoduodenectomy, focusing on safety and effectiveness across various centers from 2014 to 2021.
  • The research included data from 701 patients who underwent robotic procedures and 4447 who had open surgery, with a focus on major complications and mortality rates.
  • While robotic surgery had a longer operating time, it resulted in less blood loss, fewer infections, and shorter hospital stays, but it did not show significant differences in major complications or mortality compared to open surgery after matching the patient groups.

Introduction: Perioperative music can have beneficial effects on postoperative pain, anxiety, opioid requirement, and the physiological stress response to surgery. The aim was to assess the effects of intraoperative music during general anesthesia in patients undergoing surgery for esophagogastric cancer.

Materials And Methods: The IMPROMPTU study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized multicenter trial.

Introduction: Physical activity (PA) is associated with higher quality of life and probably better prognosis among colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. This study focuses on determinants of PA among CRC patients from diagnosis until 5 yr postdiagnosis.

Methods: Sociodemographic and disease-related factors of participants of two large CRC cohort studies were combined.
