Background And Aim: Conflicting findings have been reported in older patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of age and comorbidities on short- and long-term results of patients undergoing laparoscopic curative resection for rectal cancer (LCRRC).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated all 173 consecutive patients undergoing LCRRC at our unit (June 2005-September 2015). They were divided into two age groups as follows: <75 (n = 122) and ≥75 (n = 51) years. Comorbidities were evaluated using American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and age-related Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI).
Results: Tumor characteristics were similar in the two groups. Comorbidity status (ASA, CCI, ACCI) was worse in elderly patients. Type of surgery performed was similar in the two groups. Medical complications were significantly higher in elderly (10.7% versus 29.4%, P = .006), while surgical complications were similar. Postoperative stay was longer in older patients (13 days versus 9 days, P = .0007). Multivariable analysis identified older age, higher CCI, and longer operative time as independent predictors of morbidity. Five years overall survival and disease-free survival were 49% and 43% in older and 84% and 77% in younger group (P < .0001). Multivariable analysis identified age, CCI, tumor, node, metastasis stage, and postoperative morbidity as independent risk factors for overall and disease-free survival.
Conclusions: LCRRC achieves excellent short- and long-term results, but age and comorbidities may significantly affect postoperative morbidity and survival.

Feasibility of on-site CT-FFR analysis on cardiac photon-counting CT in evaluation of hemodynamically significant stenosis in comparison to invasive catheter angiography.

Objectives: Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is an excellent tool in ruling out coronary artery disease (CAD) but tends to overestimate especially highly calcified plaques. To reduce diagnostic invasive catheter angiographies (ICA), current guidelines recommend CT-FFR to determine the hemodynamic significance of coronary artery stenosis. Photon-Counting Detector CT (PCCT) revolutionized CCTA and may improve CT-FFR analysis in guiding patients.

Background: We assessed association among household income, overall survival (OS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) after proctectomy for rectal cancer.
Methods: Population-based cohort study included stage I-III rectal adenocarcinoma patients who underwent proctectomy (2010-2020), subdivided by household income at diagnosis [low (<$50,000), average ($50,000-74,999), above-average (≥$75,000)] and compared.
Results: Of 39,185 patients (59 % male; mean age 60.
Adjuvant radiation therapy is not associated with a survival benefit after R0 resection in non-metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma.

The benefit of adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is not well characterized for those who undergo initial R0 surgical resection. Patients in the NCDB who underwent R0 resection were placed into two cohorts - those who underwent adjuvant RT and those who did not. 388 patients were identified with 51 receiving RT.

Background: Intraoperative ultrasound-guided breast-conserving surgery guarantees real-time direct visualization of tumor and resection margins. We compared surgical, oncologic, and cosmetic outcomes between intraoperative ultrasound-guided breast-conserving surgery and traditional (palpation- or wire-guided) surgery across all breast cancer lesion types.
Methods: This prospective observational cohort study was conducted at the Veneto Institute of Oncology between January 2021 and October 2022.

Objective: The potential of robot-assisted (RA) single-position (SP) lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) warrants further investigation. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of RA-SP-LLIF in improving both clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion surgery.
Methods: A total of 59 patients underwent either RA-SP-LLIF (n = 31 cases) or traditional LLIF (n = 28 cases).
