Laparoscopy was systematically employed for the study of 143 cases of primary ovarian tumor in the various phases of staging, treatment, follow-up, and restaging. We found that laparoscopy allowed a more precise staging if used before laparotomy. Verification of response at any time in the course of therapy was readily achieved by laparoscopy.

Rapid Improvement in Cardiac Damage Predicts Better Prognosis After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
J Cardiovasc Dev Dis
January 2025
Cardiovascular Center, Cathay General Hospital, Taipei 106, Taiwan.
Background: A staging system based on cardiac damage for severe aortic stenosis (AS) has been validated for prognosis prediction following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Our study aims to investigate whether TAVR can lead to changes in cardiac damage shortly after the procedure and how these changes impact prognosis.
Method: Patients in this retrospective cohort study were classified into five stages (0-4) before TAVR based on the echocardiographic findings of cardiac damage.
Positive lateral lymph node turned negative after neoadjuvant therapy-surgery or observation?

Since the adoption of neoadjuvant chemoradiation and total mesorectal excision as the standard in rectal cancer care, there has been marked improvement in the local recurrence rates. In this context, restaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a key role in the assessment of tumor response, occasionally enabling organ-sparing approaches. However, the role of restaging MRI in evaluating lateral lymph nodes remains limited.

Background: The Lung Cancer Staging Program of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) has proposed using solid component size, rather than overall tumor size, for T-staging. However, studies focusing on patients with ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesions with a diameter larger than 2 cm are limited. This study aims to validate the T stage classification strategy recommended by IASLC in this specific and less-studied patient group.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the outcomes of bladder preservation therapy combining maximal TURBT and neoadjuvant chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients.
- A total of 110 patients were treated, with 61 achieving noninvasive downstaging, allowing them to preserve their bladders.
- The findings indicated that bladder preservation therapy had comparable survival rates to radical cystectomy, but more research is necessary to confirm these results due to the retrospective nature of the study.
Pelvic Regional Control With 25 Gy in 5 Fractions in Stereotactic Radiation Therapy for High-Risk Prostate Cancer: Pooled Prospective Outcomes From the SHARP Consortium.
Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys
January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, University of California, Los Angeles, California.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of 25 Gy in 5 fractions (25 Gy/5#) prophylactic pelvic nodal irradiation for regional control during stereotactic radiation therapy (SBRT) for high-risk prostate cancer.
Methods And Materials: The multinational SHARP consortium database of patients treated with curative-intent prostate SBRT for high-risk prostate cancer was queried for prophylactic radiation therapy 25 Gy/5# to the pelvic lymph nodes. Details of Phoenix-defined biochemical failure and location of recurrence (local, regional, or distant) were extracted.
