Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed human malignancies and is a major cause of death worldwide. A high-quality macroscopic examination and histopathology report enables correct tumour staging, affects patient prognosis, and provides indications for further therapy. Although venous invasion is a stage-independent indicator of poor prognosis that identifies high-risk patients for visceral metastases, it is not a stage-influencing factor. Accordingly the use of special stains to facilitate the detection of venous invasion is not universally recommended and therefore not widely used in routine histopathological analysis. In this report based on a case presentation, the different approaches and techniques for detecting venous invasion are presented and discussed.

To explore the value of vessel wall MRI (VW-MRI) in the preoperative assessment of T3 renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) with varying degrees of longitudinal venous system invasion. Patients with RCC with pathological T3 stage between January 2016 and December 2023 were included in this retrospective study. All the patients underwent contrast-enhanced CT (CECT), conventional MRI (con-MRI) or VW-MRI.

Background: The prognostic prediction of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains challenging. This study aimed to develop a radiomics model to predict Ki-67 expression status in PDAC patients using radiomics features from dual-phase enhanced CT, and integrated clinical characteristics to create a radiomics-clinical nomogram for prognostic prediction.
Methods: In this retrospective study, data were collected from 124 PDAC patients treated surgically at a single center, from January 2017 to March 2023.

Minimally invasive medical treatments for peripheral nerve stimulation are critically needed to minimize surgical risks, enhance the precision of therapeutic interventions, and reduce patient recovery time. Magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs), known for their unique ability to respond to both magnetic and electric fields, offer promising potential for precision medicine due to their dual tunable functionality. In this study a multi-physics modeling of the MENPs was performed, assessing their capability to be targeted through external magnetic fields and become electrically activated.

Department of Diagnostics and Intervention, Diagnostic Radiology, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden.
Purpose: To evaluate current MRI-based criteria for malignancy in mesorectal nodal structures in rectal cancer.
Method: Mesorectal nodal structures identified on baseline MRI as lymph nodes were anatomically compared to their corresponding structures histopathologically, reported as lymph nodes, tumour deposits or extramural venous invasion. All anatomically matched nodal structures from patients with primary surgery and all malignant nodal structures from patients with neoadjuvant treatment were included.
