Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer that has limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the first-line treatment for intermediate-stage HCC but can induce tumour hypoxia, thereby promoting angiogenesis. Recent studies suggested that combining TACE with anti-angiogenic therapies and immunotherapy might improve efficacy.

Background: Currently, traditional blood biomarkers such as neuron-specific enolase (NSE), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA) etc. are mostly elevated in the late stage of tumour, and patients have already lost the chance of tumour eradication when the relevant indexes are found to be elevated. Therefore, there is a need for blood biomarkers with higher sensitivity, better specificity, and better accessibility.

Objectives: The extent of the surgical treatment for Graves' disease (GD) has evolved from subtotal to total thyroidectomy. This study analyzes the extent of thyroidectomy for GD and its impact on recurrence and complications, focusing on the relationship between remnant thyroid tissue and recurrence in subtotal thyroidectomy, comparing our current approach with historic data spanning over three decades.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 427 GD patients who underwent surgery at a tertiary hospital from 1988 to 2022.

Background: Sperm extraction by Microscopic Testicular Sperm Extraction (microTESE) has become the standard of care for sperm retrieval (SR) in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) but is costly and has a 40-50% chance of failure. Fine needle aspiration mapping (FNAM) can be performed prior to microTESE as a predictor of success to reduce the likelihood of failure to retrieve sperm but there is limited evidence that directly compares these methods. The objective of this study was to compare success rate of SR, pregnancy, and live birth rates in men who underwent upfront microTESE versus FNAM.
