Objective: To determinate the prognostic factors associated with the local relapse in patients treated for soft tissue sarcoma in extremities.
Methods: Retrospectively, 30 patients were evaluated after being treated with surgical resection of soft tissue sarcoma located in extremities, with a outcome of 36,5 +/- 12,2 months. The prognostic factors evaluated were: age, sex, location, depth, location in the anatomic compartments, size, tumor previous manipulation, surgical margins, grade of histological malignance, presence of histological necrosis or histological vascular invasion. These factors were correlated with the local relapse of the tumor with a univariated and multivariated analysis with significance when p = 0,05.
Results: Local relapse presented significant correlation in univariated and multivariated analysis with extra-compartimental location (p = 0,001) and with high grade histological malignance (p = 0,001). There was no significant association with age (p = 1,000), sex (p = 1,000), body location (p = 0,544), depth (p = 0,288), size (p = 0,694), surgical margins (p = 0,384), previous manipulation (p = 0,461), necrosis (p = 0,461) or with the presence of vascular invasion (p = 1,000).
Conclusion: Local relapse presents correlation with extra-compartimental location and with high grade malignancy tumors.

Lymph-node ratio as a risk factor for recurrence following neoadjuvant docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil therapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Background And Purpose: It remains unclear whether the lymph-node ratio (LNR) is a relevant factor for the risk of recurrence following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DCF), which is a new standard of care for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Japan. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of LNR as a risk factor for recurrence.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 75 patients who underwent nCT-DCF followed by curative surgery for resectable ESCC.
Cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC with oxaliplatin for the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from recurrent fibrolamellar carcinoma.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FHCC) is a rare variant of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), characterised by a poorer prognosis in later stages compared with conventional HCC due to a high rate of local recurrence, lymph node metastasis and peritoneal metastasis. Conventional chemotherapy is generally ineffective, making surgery the only potentially curative treatment. Currently, surgery is also indicated in cases of recurrence, always aiming for an R0 resection.

Background: To determine outcomes of MRI-assisted radiosurgery (MARS) for salvage brachytherapy using the radioisotope Pd after various upfront treatments including surgery, external beam radiotherapy, and brachytherapy.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data for patients who underwent salvage MARS for intraprostatic lesions or prostate bed recurrences from 2016 to 2022. Biochemical recurrence, prostate cancer-specific, and overall survival, and the cumulative incidences of toxicities, were determined by Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of 25Gy/5# prophylactic pelvic nodal irradiation for regional control during stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) for high risk prostate cancer.
Methods: The multinational XXXX consortium database of patients treated with curative-intent prostate SBRT for high risk prostate cancer was queried for prophylactic radiotherapy 25Gy/5# to the pelvic lymph nodes. Details of Phoenix-defined biochemical failure, and location of recurrence (local, regional, or distant) were extracted.
Investigation of circulating miR-182-3p, miR -382-3p and miR -93, miR -142-3p involved in tamoxifen resistance and sensitivity in luminal-subtype breast cancer patients: a case-control study.

Breast cancer (BC) commonly expresses estrogen receptors (ERs); hence, endocrine therapy targeting ERs is considered an effective treatment. Tamoxifen (TAM) resistance is an essential clinical complication leading to cancer progression and metastasis. This study investigated MicroRNAs (miRNAs) potentially implicated in drug resistance (miR-182-3p, miR-382-3p) or sensitivity (miR-93, miR- 142- 3p).
