Ablation treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma: a bibliometric analysis.

Objective: Ablation is a common treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to assess research trends in the ablation treatment of HCC using bibliometric analysis.

Methods: Publications between January 1, 1993 and December 31, 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science database.

Epidemiological Trends of Kidney Cancer Along with Attributable Risk Factors in China from 1990 to 2019 and Its Projections Until 2030: An Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.

Background: Understanding the past and future burden of kidney cancer in China over years provides essential references for optimizing the prevention and management strategies.

Methods: The data on incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) and age-standardized rates of kidney cancer in China, 1990-2019, were collected from the database of Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was calculated to depict the trends of kidney cancer burden, and Bayesian age-period-cohort analysis was used to predict the incidence and mortality in the next decade.

High tumor mutation burden indicates better prognosis in colorectal cancer patients with mutations.

Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common type of malignant tumor of the digestive tract. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) is a potential prognostic indicator of numerous malignant tumors. This study investigated the prognostic value of TMB in CRC.

Laparoscopic versus open surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma: a retrospective cohort study on short-term and long-term outcomes.

Background: Laparoscopic surgery (LS) for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCa) remains under development, and its feasibility and safety remain controversial. This study therefore evaluated the outcomes of this technique and compared them to those of open surgery (OS).

Methods: In total, 149 patients underwent surgical resection for HCCa at our center between February 2017 and September 2020.

Clinical Application of a Modified Double Purse-String Continuous Suture Technique for Pancreaticojejunostomy: Reliable for Laparoscopic Surgery and Small Size Main Pancreatic Duct.

Background: The technical challenge of pancreatojejunostomy (PJ) is the greatest barrier for surgeons to complete pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). The authors present an easy-to-master PJ anastomosis technique with limited technical requirements. This technique uses two layers of sutures and double purse-string sutures to complete the entire anastomosis.
