To investigate the impact of different surgical margin and recurrence-free survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The data of 601 patients who underwent curative hepatectomy for HCC between January 1997 and December 2009 were analyzed. Milan group and exceeding Milan group were divided according to the Milan Criteria. Each of them was divided into 3 groups: group A (surgical margin≤1 mm), group B (1 mm

Atypical lipomatous tumors/well-differentiated liposarcomas (ALT/WDLPS) are low-grade, slow-growing, and locally aggressive tumors. We investigated clinical outcomes and recurrence factors for ALT/WDLPS of the extremities. This is retrospective study across three institutions which included patients who underwent surgery for ALT/WDLPS from 2001 to 2019.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explore the evolving management strategies for stage III melanoma, focusing on the comparative effectiveness of traditional surgical approaches like complete lymph node dissection (CLND) versus modern adjuvant therapies. It also examines the latest evidence on the efficacy, risks, and complications of these strategies, emphasizing the role of shared decision-making between patients and clinicians.
Recent Findings: Recent clinical trials and meta-analyses, including the MSLT-II and DeCOG-SLT studies, have demonstrated that CLND may not significantly improve survival outcomes in melanoma patients with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB)-positive status.

The prediction of survival outcomes is a key factor in making decisions for prostate cancer (PCa) treatment. Advances in computer-based technologies have increased the role of machine learning (ML) methods in predicting cancer prognosis. Due to the various effective treatments available for each non-linear landscape of PCa, the integration of ML can help offer tailored treatment strategies and precision medicine approaches, thus improving survival in patients with PCa.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive subtype of breast cancer, characterized by frequent recurrence, metastasis, and poor survival outcomes despite chemotherapy-based treatments. This study aims to investigate the mechanisms by which Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) modulates the tumor immune microenvironment in TNBC, utilizing CiteSpace and bioinformatics analysis.
Methods: We employed CiteSpace to analyze treatment hotspots and key TCM formulations, followed by bioinformatics analysis to identify the main active components, targets, associated pathways, and their clinical implications in TNBC treatment.
Improving postoperative outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer: Inflammatory and nutritional biomarkers.

Department of Biochemistry, School of Medicine, College of Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 404328, Taiwan.
This editorial assesses the prognostic value of preoperative inflammatory and nutritional biomarkers in patients undergoing surgical resection for pancreatic cancer. Lu evaluated the ability of seven biomarkers to predict postoperative recovery and long-term outcomes. These biomarkers were albumin-to-globulin ratio, prognostic nutritional index (PNI), systemic immune-inflammation index, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, nutritional risk index, and geriatric nutritional risk index.
