Background: Duodenal cancer presents an elusive therapeutic challenge for clinicians to treat because of its highly malignant behavior and anatomical complexity. Endoscopic excision has been administered to treat early-stage cancers of upper gastrointestinal tract, especially esophagus and stomach cancer. There is currently a scarcity of data regarding the application and efficacy of endoscopic resection for early duodenal cancer due to its rarity. This study aimed at exploring the prevalence and efficacy of endoscopic excision in treatment for early duodenal cancer in comparison with major surgery.
Methods: This cohort study retrospectively collected patients with primary Tis/T1-N0-M0 duodenal cancer in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2004 to 2017. Prevalence of endoscopic excision in duodenal cancer treatment, overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) of patients who received different tumor-resection procedures were estimated.
Results: A total of 1354 patients with Tis/T1-stage duodenal cancer were identified. Most patients (69.4%) underwent tumor resection as initial treatments. Among them, 65.7% underwent endoscopic excision, while 34.3% underwent major surgery. The multivariable Cox analyses revealed that endoscopic excision was associated with a significantly favorable OS (HR: 0.70; 95% CI: 0.52-0.95, p = 0.02) and DSS (HR: 0.32; 95% CI: 0.17-0.60, p < 0.001), compared to major surgery, for Tis/T1-stage cancer patients. In addition to cancer-related deaths (p < 0.001), endoscopic resection manifested significantly lower cumulative mortality rate of post-operative infectious diseases (p = 0.03).
Conclusion: Endoscopic resection currently accounted for approximately two-thirds of all procedures to resect Tis/T1-stage duodenal tumor. Endoscopic resection represents a viable therapeutic option in the management of Tis/T1-stage duodenal cancer for its oncological superiorities to major surgery and its capacity to reduce operative traumas and morbidities.

Purpose: The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is distinguished by its ability to leave no visible scars on the body's surface. Currently, there is still a lack of single-center large sample size analysis on the learning curve of TOETVA, especially for the treatment of thyroid cancer. This study aims to fill this void by presenting a comprehensive analysis of the learning curve and assessing the procedure's feasibility in managing thyroid cancer.

Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) continues to pose a major public health challenge, ranking among the most common malignancies globally and being a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Most CRCs originate from adenomatous polyps, underscoring the importance of detecting and removing these precancerous growths as a key preventive measure against CRC. In particular, large colonic polyps (≥10 mm) warrant special attention due to their increased risk of progressing to malignancy compared to smaller polyps.

For gastric leiomyomas measuring ≥5 cm, endoscopic resection is necessary. The larger size of these tumors significantly impairs the resection field of view, increasing the risk of intraoperative bleeding and perforation and potentially leading to incomplete tumor removal. The combination of dental floss and tissue clip traction techniques is commonly used for resecting mucosal lesions but is rarely reported for submucosal tumors.

Background: A rapid and smooth emergence is essential in patients undergoing trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgeries. Ketofol has been used as an anesthetic agent with good recovery characteristics. We conducted this study to compare the recovery profile of the patients receiving propofol-dexmedetomidine or ketofol-dexmedetomidine infusions for trans-sphenoidal excision of pituitary tumours.
