Purpose: To identify the predictive role of the preoperative prognostic nutritional index (PNI) for long-term survival in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy.
Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and CNKI databases were searched up to October 28, 2024. The primary outcomes included overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).

Objectives: We previously did a randomized clinical trial of lobectomy by VATS or thoracotomy for early-stage lung cancer and found that patients who underwent VATS had less postoperative pain and better quality of life compared with thoracotomy. VATS has since been regarded the preferred surgical method for early-stage lung cancer. It is assumed that long-term survival is not influenced by surgical approach, but this assumption primarily rests on non-randomized comparative studies.

Background: Locoregional therapy (LRT) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before liver transplantation (LT) has a role in improving the tumor biology and post-LT survival outcome apart from downstaging and bridging. We retrospectively analyzed our database of adult living donor liver transplants (LDLT) for HCC, to compare the survival outcomes in Group-1 (upfront-LT, HCC within Milan/UCSF/AFP<1000 ng/ml) and Group-2 (LT post-LRT, HCC beyond UCSF/irrespective of tumor burden with AFP>1000 ng/ml). We also explored the risk factors for recurrence on follow-up.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of and long-term survival with combined organ resection for esophageal cancer (EC).
Background: The optimal treatment strategy for EC that is invading adjacent organs is not established.
Methods: Ninety patients with EC invading adjacent organs who underwent combined organ resection after induction treatments during 2003-2023 in our institute were eligible for the study.
