Purpose: We herein report updated survival and toxicity data on the entire cohort of 53 eligible patients treated on North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) protocol 86-72-52, which is now closed.
Methods And Materials: An initial report was published in this journal in 1995. No substantive changes in the conclusions of that report were identified in this analysis. Median survival was 9.6 months for the entire cohort; median survival for the 20 patients who completed the prescribed protocol treatment was 20.7 months. The hematologic and non-hematologic toxicity distributions are virtually the same as those reported in the original paper.
Results: Results are given for the entire group and for subsets defined by age < or = 60 versus > 60 years, and < 70 versus > or = 70 years of age.
Conclusions: No significant differences were observed in any of the outcome variables by age group. There was, however, a nonsignificant suggestion of poorer outcome in those who were > 60 years of age.

With the rapid development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, there remains considerable controversy regarding the choice of surgical approach and anastomosis method for patients with right-sded colon cancer (RSCC). This meta-analysis compared the short-term outcomes of open right colectomies (ORC), laparoscopic right colectomies with intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis (LRC-IA and LRC-EA), as well as robot right colectomies with intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis (RRC-IA and RRC-EA). A systematic search was conducted across PubMed (n = 549), Web of Science (n = 821), Embase (n = 591), and the Cochrane Central Register (n = 86) from January 2000 to August 2024.

The genomic diversity and population structure of marine species represents a complex mosaic shaped by historical and contemporary environmental seascape features that maintain or alter it over time. The Gulf of California (GC) is an interior sea with a dynamic history during its formation and a contemporary environmental and oceanographic complexity; hence, it is a suitable system to test the effect of historical and contemporary factors on genomic diversity in marine species. We investigated the genomic seascape of the redhead goby (Elacatinus puncticulatus; Ginsburg, 1938), a cryptobenthic marine fish, to gain insights into the historical and contemporary drivers shaping its population structure in the GC.

This case series and literature review highlights the prevalence of scarring hair loss in children. A retrospective review of 29 pediatric cases from centers in the USA and Chile showed that primary cicatricial alopecia was more common, with lichen planopilaris and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia being the most frequent diagnoses. Early detection in children is essential to reduce progressive scarring.
