Background: Whether wedge resection of a tumor before lobectomy (Wed + Lob) can improve the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has yet to be determined comprehensively. This study aimed to compare the effects of Wed + Lob with those of direct lobectomy (Lob) on survival and tumor cell dissemination in patients with T1N0M0 NSCLC.
Methods: A cohort of 813 patients with T1N0M0 NSCLC who underwent lobectomy at a single center in China was investigated. After propensity score matching, the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients were estimated using Kaplan-Meier plots. Associations between surgical strategies and patient survival were computed as hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals using Cox proportional hazards regression models. Changes in folate receptor-positive circulating tumor cells (FR+ CTCs) after lobectomy were analyzed in another cohort from our hospital.
Results: A total of 401 Wed + Lob cases were matched with 255 Lob cases according to their propensity scores. Although no significant differences were found in OS, multivariate analysis showed that patients with T1N0M0 NSCLC in the Wed + Lob group had significantly improved DFS (HR =0.583; P=0.012) compared to those in the Lob group. After surgery, a decrease in FR+ CTCs was observed in 21 of 23 patients (91.3%) in the Wed + Lob group and in 16 of 23 patients (69.6%) in the Lob group [mean changes: 6.10 (±7.80) FU per 3 mL 1.31 (±4.39) FU per 3 mL; P=0.014].
Conclusions: Wed + Lob may improve DFS and reduce tumor cell dissemination in patients with T1N0M0 NSCLC.

The utility of modified RENAL nephrometry score in predicting the perioperative outcomes following open partial nephrectomy.
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand)
November 2024
Branch of Clinical Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Sulaimani, Sulaimani, Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Article Synopsis
- The RENAL nephrometry score (RNS) is a method for assessing the complexity of kidney tumors, but it doesn't effectively predict outcomes after surgery.
- A modified version of the RENAL score was evaluated for its ability to forecast perioperative complications in patients undergoing open partial nephrectomy for small renal masses.
- The study included 47 patients, finding that the modified RENAL score is a useful indicator for predicting surgical risks, with a cut-off score of 8.7 linked to a higher likelihood of complications.
Limited Thyroidectomy Achieves Equivalent Survival to Total Thyroidectomy for Early Localized Medullary Thyroid Cancer.
Cancers (Basel)

Division of Endocrine and Oncologic Surgery, Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, Tulane University, New Orleans, LA 70112, USA.
Background: The optimal surgical approach for localized T1 medullary thyroid cancer remains unclear. Total thyroidectomy is standard, but lobectomy and subtotal thyroidectomy may minimize mortality while maintaining oncologic control.
Methods: This retrospective analysis utilized the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry to identify 2702 MTC patients including 398 patients with T1N0/1M0 MTC treated with total thyroidectomy or lobectomy/subtotal thyroidectomy from 2000 to 2019.
Impact of thyrotropin levels on outcomes in T1N0M0 papillary thyroid cancer after microwave ablation.
Int J Hyperthermia

Department of Interventional Medicine, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) affect tumor progression and survival in patients with early-stage papillary thyroid cancer treated with microwave ablation (MWA).
- It analyzed the medical records of 525 patients, categorizing them into uni-focal (U-PTC) and multifocal (M-PTC) groups based on TSH levels after treatment, and observed the rates of tumor progression and survival outcomes.
- Results indicated that lower TSH levels in U-PTC patients correlated with higher tumor progression rates and reduced progression-free survival compared to medium and high TSH levels, whereas M-PTC patients showed no significant relationship between TSH levels and progression.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of microwave ablation (MWA) for solitary T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and compare them between T1a and T1b disease.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 136 patients with solitary T1N0M0 PTC who were treated with MWA and followed up for more than 5 years. Outcomes were compared between patients with T1a and T1b disease.
Thermal Ablation for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.

Department of Ultrasound, First Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Importance: Image-guided thermal ablation has been administered for patients with T1N0M0 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) who elect to not undergo surgery or receive active surveillance. Considering the indolent nature of PTC, long-term outcomes of ablation are needed.
Objective: To investigate l0-year outcomes of thermal ablation in treating T1N0M0 PTC.
