  • * Results showed that the ERAS protocol significantly shortened hospital stays, improved bowel recovery, and reduced POI in non-frail patients, but it did not have the same benefits for frail patients.
  • * The findings suggest that while ERAS is effective for non-frail patients, frail patients might require additional strategies, like prehabilitation, to better manage POI post-surgery.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in either of two tumor suppressor genes, TSC1 and TSC2. These mutations lead to the growth of benign tumors and hamartomas in many organs, including those of the central nervous system, the skin, and the kidneys. To investigate the genotype-phenotype correlation, we performed sequence analysis of the TSC1/2 genes using next-generation sequencing.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is a key enzyme associated with immunomodulation through its regulation of the tryptophan-kynurenine (Kyn) pathway in advanced cancers, including metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, the failure of IDO1 inhibitors when used in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), as observed in clinical trials, raises a number of questions. This study aimed to investigate the association of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) and IDO1 with cancer development and resistance to immunotherapy in patients with RCC.
