The aim of this study was to evaluate different preoperative immune, inflammatory, and nutritional scores and their best cut-off values as predictors of poorer overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients who underwent curative gastric cancer resection. This was a retrospective observational multicentre study based on data of the Spanish EURECCA Esophagogastric Cancer Registry. Time-dependent Youden index and log-rank test were used to obtain the best cut-offs of 18 preoperative biomarkers for OS and DFS.

The aims of the study were to compare postoperative morbidity and mortality, hospital stay, and anatomopathological findings between the robotic and open approaches to oncologic total gastrectomy. We analyzed a prospectively collected database, which included patients who underwent total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy in our center using a robotic or an open approach between 2014 and 2021.

- The study aimed to assess the impact of different waiting periods between chemoradiotherapy and surgery on surgical safety and pathology outcomes in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
- Patients were divided into two groups based on a 10-week wait threshold; the group waiting ≥ 10 weeks showed better tumor regression and higher rates of complete pathological response.
- Results indicated that waiting ≥ 10 weeks did not compromise surgical safety, and patients in this group were four times more likely to achieve complete tumor remission compared to those who waited less than 10 weeks.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate whether hip fracture risk is affected differently by cognitive impairment in men and women, and to examine the links between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild neurocognitive disorder (MND).
- - An analysis of 4,803 individuals aged 55+ in Zaragoza, Spain, over 16 years revealed that men face a significantly higher risk of hip fractures at "mild" and "severe" cognitive impairment stages, but no similar association was found in women.
- - Results showed that men exhibited increased hip fracture risk at mild (HR=4.99) and severe (HR=9.31) cognitive impairment levels, while no substantial correlations were present for women or between hip fractures
Background: The goal of treatment for patients with synchronous liver metastases (SLM) from rectal cancer is to achieve a complete resection of both tumor locations. For patients with symptomatic locally advanced rectal cancer with resectable SLM at diagnosis, our usual strategy has been the rectum first approach (RF). However, since 2014, we advocate for the interval approach (IS) that involves the administration of chemo-radiotherapy followed by the resection of the SLM in the interval of time between rectal cancer radiation and rectal surgery.

Objectives: The primary objective was to explore differences between the rectum first (RF) and the liver first strategy (LF) to achieve the complete resection (CR) of both tumors.
Methods: Patients diagnosed of RC with resectable or potentially resectable SLM were included.
Objectives: To analyze independently in men and women the incidence rate of and risk factors for hip fracture in a southern European population. Illiteracy, dementia, clinically significant depression and disability were factors to receive special emphasis.
Study Design: A community sample of 4803 individuals aged over 55 years was assessed in a two-phase case-finding study in Zaragoza, Spain, and was followed up for 16 years.
