Background: Surgery is the best approach to treat endometrial cancer (EC); however, there is currently a deficiency in effective scoring systems for predicting EC recurrence post-surgical resection. This study aims to develop a clinicopathological-inflammatory parameters-based nomogram to accurately predict the postoperative recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate of EC patients.
Methods: A training set containing 1068 patients and an independent validation set consisting of 537 patients were employed in this retrospective study.

Objective: Preoperative prediction of visual recovery after pituitary adenoma resection surgery remains challenging. This study aimed to investigate the value of clinical and radiological features in preoperatively predicting visual outcomes after surgery.
Methods: Patients undergoing endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETS) for pituitary adenoma were included in this retrospective and prospective study.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer improves surgical outcomes and reduces recurrence but can cause low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), affecting quality of life. This study aims to predict the risk of LARS in male patients with mid-low rectal cancer after laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME).
Methods: Clinical data from 203 male patients with mid-low rectal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant therapy and laparoscopic resection were collected.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major factor for cancer-associated mortality globally. Although the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and albumin (ALB) show individual prognostic value for various cancers, their combined significance (SII/ALB) in HCC patients undergoing curative hepatectomy is still unknown. It is hypothesized that a higher SII/ALB ratio correlates with poorer outcomes with regard to overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS).

Therefore, low T may impact perioperative outcomes for surgical patients. We sought to characterize the association between low T, frailty, and perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and laser photovaporization of the prostate (PVP).
