Background: In the current era of targeted axillary dissection (TAD), there are still cases where axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is indicated, but histopathological examination confirms the regression of nodal metastases (ypN0). In this situation, ALND may represent undesirable overtreatment.
Methods: A retrospective study at the Comprehensive Cancer Centre was conducted based on a prospectively maintained database.

Background: In this case series, we present longitudinal imaging surveillance of 6 cases of osseous sarcoidosis, each of which was effectively treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibition.
Methods: We identified 6 patients from Brooke Army Medical Center with osseous sarcoidosis, who were treated with TNF inhibition and followed with longitudinal imaging studies. Cases of osseous sarcoidosis were defined as having pathologic evidence of noncaseating granulomas on bone biopsy and evidence of osseous lesions on imaging attributable to sarcoidosis by the radiologist, treating clinician, and reviewer.

Background: The use of advanced diagnostic methods, such as high-resolution CT or PET-CT scans, are limited in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). In gastric cancer, occult peritoneal disease may be present in up to 20% of cases, limiting the benefits of surgical resection. Accurate staging of gastric cancer is essential to ensure optimal patient management and prevent undue morbidity from unnecessary surgery.
