The application of intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) has been widely accepted to improve surgical outcomes after thyroid surgery. The malfunction of an IONM system might interfere with surgical procedures. Thus, the development of anesthesia modalities aimed at ensuring functional neuromonitoring is essential. Two key issues should be taken into consideration for anesthetic management. Firstly, most patients undergo recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring via surface electrodes embedded in an endotracheal tube. Thus, advanced video-assisted devices might optimize surface electrode positioning for improved neuromonitoring signaling accuracy. Secondly, neuromuscular blocking agents are routinely used during thyroid surgery. The ideal neuromuscular block should be deep enough for surgical relaxation at excision and recovered enough for an adequate signal f nerve stimulation. Proper neuromuscular block management could be achieved by titration doses of muscle relaxants and reversal agents.

Purpose: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid malignancy. Although its mortality rate is low, some patients experience cancer recurrence during follow-up. In this study, we investigated the accuracy of a novel multimodal model by simultaneously analyzing numeric and time-series data to predict recurrence in patients with PTC after thyroidectomy.

Liver cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, characterized by its high incidence and mortality rate. Emerging evidence underscores the critical roles of the immune microenvironment in tumor initiation, development, prognosis, and therapeutic responsiveness. However, the composition of the immune microenvironment of liver cancer (LC-IME) and its association with clinicopathological significance remain unelucidated.

Pdgfrα stromal cells are a group of cells specifically expressing Pdgfrα, which may be mentioned with distinct names in different tissues. Importantly, the findings from numerous studies suggest that these cells share exactly similar biomarkers and properties, show complex functions in regulating the microenvironment, and are critical to tissue regeneration, repair, and degeneration. Comparing the similarities and differences between distinct tissue-resident Pdgfrα stromal cells is helpful for us to more comprehensively and deeply understand the behaviors of these cells and to explore some common regulating mechanisms and therapeutical targets.

The use of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has increased in recent years. We herein report a case wherein suspected intramammary lymph node (IM) recurrence of breast cancer was treated using the thoracic approach (VATS). A 53-year-old woman had undergone right total mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, and implant-based reconstruction for right breast cancer 19 years ago.

Background/aim: The role of lenvatinib as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with advanced thyroid cancer has not been firmly established. In some cases, surgery may be considered when lenvatinib treatment becomes challenging to continue.
Case Report: We present four cases of unresectable thyroid cancer diagnosed histologically as papillary carcinoma.
