AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The supraclavicular approach of subclavian vein catheterization is associated with the lowest incidence of malposition. We report two cases of unusual malpositions seen during central venous cathelerization of subclavian vein via supraclavicular approach. Literature search did not reveal such malpositions. The possible cause for the malposition and method to prevent it is discussed.

Comparing supraclavicular surgery with radiotherapy versus radiotherapy alone in breast cancer patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis: a two-center retrospective cohort study.
BMC Cancer
December 2024
Department of Radiation Oncology, Cancer Center, West China Hospital, No. 37, Guoxue Alley, Chengdu, 610041, China.
Background: This study aimed to assess combined supraclavicular lymph node dissection (SLND) and radiotherapy (RT) versus standalone radiotherapy for efficacy in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients with ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis (ISLNM).
Methods: Totally 143 ISLNM patients treated between 2014 and 2021 in two medical institutions were examined retrospectively. Patients were divided into two groups to undergo combined SLND and radiotherapy (surgery + RT, n = 73) or radiotherapy alone (RT, n = 70).

Background: Automation in radiotherapy presents a promising solution to the increasing cancer burden and workforce shortages. However, existing automated methods for breast radiotherapy lack a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that meets varying standards of care.
Purpose: This study aims to develop a complete portfolio of automated radiotherapy treatment planning for intact breasts, tailored to individual patient factors, clinical approaches, and available resources.
Long-Term Follow-Up of Single-Step Free Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer for the Management of Combined Genital and Lower Extremity Lymphedema: A Case Report.

The occurrence of genital lymphedema with lower extremity involvement is rare. There is no standard approach in the management of combined genital and lower extremity lymphedema (CGLL). The limited literature available on the management of CGLL reveals the use of multiple procedures, including vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT), lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA), and debulking.

Ovarian cancer typically presents at advanced stages, with prognosis heavily influenced by the presence of residual disease following cytoreductive surgery. The role of resecting enlarged extra-abdominal lymph nodes during cytoreductive procedures remains contentious. These enlarged lymph nodes are commonly identified through high-resolution imaging techniques such as ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT).
