We present a long-term survivor who received multidisciplinary treatment for a postoperative recurrence. A 52-year-old female who had been clinically diagnosed with primary lung cancer underwent a right lower lobectomy, middle lobe wedge resection, and lymph node dissection(ND2a-1), and was pathologically diagnosed with primary pulmonary papillary adenocarcinoma( pT3N0M0, Stage ⅡB)positive for a sensitizing EGFR mutation(L858R). The patient was given UFT as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for 2 years. During the follow-up, multiple pulmonary metastases occurred in postoperative month 44. Gefitinib was administered as the first-line treatment, which resulted in a complete response for 30 months. Then, stereotactic radiotherapy was administered for 3 brain metastases, and multiple pulmonary metastases were treated with cisplatin plus pemetrexed and carboplatin plus pemetrexed for PD, but an adverse event occurred. Therefore, pemetrexed monotherapy was administered as a fourth-line treatment for 5 months. Then, afatinib, nivolumab, docetaxel, osimertinib, S-1, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab(11th-line treatment)were administered with each PD or new lesion. Finally, the best supportive care was administered and she died on postoperative month 134, which was post-recurrent month 90.

The rising incidence of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) has increased the demand for precise treatments like robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), especially for conditions like Kümmell's disease that require high surgical accuracy. However, the traditional tracer fixation method has certain limitations. This study aimed to compare the safety and clinical efficacy of a modified tracer fixation technique with the traditional fixation method in robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for Kümmell's disease.

Propose: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant treatment of darolutamide, a next-generation androgen receptor inhibitor, plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for patients with locally advanced prostate cancer (LAPC).
Methods: This single-arm, multicenter, open-label phase II trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05249712, 2022-01-01), recruited 30 localized high-risk/very high-risk prostate cancer (HRPCa/VHRPCa) patients from three centers in China between 2021 and 2023.

Introduction: There exist conflicting electrodiagnostic reports between diagnosing mild carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and normal results, depending on the interpretation methods used by electrodiagnosticians. This underscores the necessity for precise clinical guidelines. This study aims to assess how the variation between mild and normal electrophysiological reports impacts (1) subsequent clinical outcomes in patients diagnosed with CTS and (2) physicians' decision-making.

Purpose: We sought to evaluate the incidence, natural history, and management of cystic spinal lesions following myelomeningocele/myeloschisis closure.
Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective review of all patients who underwent myelomeningocele/myeloschisis closure from 2013 to 2018 with follow-up to 5 years old.
Results: We analyzed 100 fetal repairs and 81 postnatal closures from 305 total surgeries.

Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is an emerging physiological pacing technique characterized by stable pacing parameters and a narrower QRS duration. This study aims to compare the long-term efficacy and safety of biventricular pacing (BIVP) and LBBP in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB). A retrospective analysis was conducted on 35 patients with chronic HFrEF accompanied by CLBBB treated at our center from April 2018 to October 2022.
