Background: The treatment of locally recurrent rectal cancer has evolved dramatically in recent decades. As the boundaries of exenterative surgery continue to be pushed, one of the unanswered and controversial questions is the role of radical salvage surgery for locally recurrent rectal cancer in the setting of oligometastatic disease.
Objective: To investigate the impact of synchronous or previously treated distant metastases on survival following pelvic exenteration for locally recurrent rectal cancer.
Purpose: The BlueWind Medical Device, Revi, is a novel implantable tibial neuromodulation system powered by an external, battery-operated wearable that facilitates individually tailored stimulation to provide treatment for urgency urinary incontinence (ie, overactive bladder wet). The Revi System is the first Food and Drug Administration-cleared implantable neuromodulation device which can be used without prior failure with more conservative treatment options. Two-year follow-up results of the OASIS study are presented.

- - The introduction of implantable tibial neuromodulation (iTNM) systems offers a new way to treat overactive bladder (OAB), but a meta-analysis was conducted to compare their effectiveness and safety with sacral neuromodulation (SNM) due to a lack of direct studies.
- - This meta-analysis included 20 studies with a total of 1,416 patients for SNM and 350 for iTNM, focusing on the reduction of urinary incontinence episodes and safety by tracking device-related adverse events.
- - Results showed that both SNM and iTNM had similar success rates in reducing symptoms of OAB and improving quality of life, highlighting equivalent safety profiles despite the iTNM
Introduction: Older adults with cancer value the perspectives of significant others and their carers regarding decision-making about treatment. Understanding the support provided by carers, and their perspectives on involvement in treatment decision-making, can help us improve our communication with patients and their supports. We aimed to describe the roles, burden, and decision-making preferences of carers of older adults with cancer.

Study Design And Setting: The pilot interventions occurred from April 27, 2020, to August 3, 2020.
