The recurrence ofgastric cancer has a poor prognosis in spite ofsystemic chemotherapy. We report three cases oflocal control ofdisease after the recurrence owing to intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT). The first case was a 66-yearsold man. He was received distal gastrectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer. Abdominal lymph node metastases appeared 1 year and 7 months after the surgery. IMRT was performed and he keeps CR for 1 year and 8 months. The second case was a 72-years-old man. He received proximal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer. Abdominal lymph node metastasis appeared 1 year and 9 months after the surgery. IMRT was performed and he keeps CR for 1 year. The third case was a 71-years-old woman. She received distal gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Abdominal lymph node metastasis appeared 2 years after the surgery. IMRT was performed and she keeps CR for 10 months. We experienced longtime CR after IMRT against abdominal lymph node metastasis. IMRT could be one ofthe strategies ofthe comprehensive treatment for the recurrence of gastric cancer.

Background/aim: Appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors (ANETs) are the most prevalent type of appendiceal neoplasm and the fifth most common neuroendocrine tumor in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we described the clinicopathological features of patients with ANET.
Patients And Methods: We reviewed the clinicopathological findings and histopathological reports of six patients diagnosed with ANET between January 2014 and December 2023 at Korea University Medical Center, Anam Hospital.

Department of Gynecologic Oncology, The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine Central, South University/Hunan Cancer Hospital, Changsha, People's Republic of China.
Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the outcomes of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) for International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2018 stage IA1 IB1 patients with low-risk cervical cancer (CC), which was defined as tumor ≤ 2cm, less than 1/2 stromal invasion and no lymph node involvement.
Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with CC who underwent radical hysterectomy across three hospitals between 2010 and 2020. The patients were stratified into low-risk and high-risk groups based on risk factors (tumor size, lymph nodes and stromal invasion depth).
Preoperative CT-Scan Angiography Reconstruction Before Right Colectomy with Complete Mesocolon Excision: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
J Gastrointest Cancer
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Universitäts medizin Mannheim, Heidelberg University, Mannheim, Germany.
Background: Complete mesocolon excision (CME) and central vascular ligation for right colonic cancers have been developed to improve oncological outcomes. However, it has been linked with a higher risk of morbidity and technical difficulties in operating near major vessels. This study investigated the impact of preoperative surgical planning utilizing CT reconstruction on surgical outcomes in right colectomy with CME.

Background: The Resection and Partial Liver Transplantation with Delayed Total Hepatectomy (RAPID) procedure for unresectable colorectal liver metastases (uCRLM) has renewed interest by increasing, in selected cases, patients' long-term survival. Initially described using deceased donor graft, this technique evolved to living donors, tackling organ-shortage issues, allowing better scheduling, and reducing liver failure risk.
Methods: A 50-year-old patient presented 18 months earlier with a colic adenocarcinoma with synchronous uCRLM.
tumour specific surgery in colon cancer is gaining popularity among colorectal surgeons. Many advocate adapting surgical technique based on preoperative CT staging as not all patients require complete mesocolic excision (CME) and D3 lymphadenectomy. We aimed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of preoperative CT scans in nodal staging and analyse whether inadequate CT staging could have influenced local recurrences.
