Objective: This narrative review analyses factors affecting recurrence of Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) after surgery, such as type, extension and completeness of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). We also described new implications in the management of recurrences after the advent of biologics.
Methods: We identified four topics: definition of disease state; factors linked to recurrence of polyps; evaluation and management of recurrence in clinical practice.
Results: We analysed the differences between exacerbation and recurrence, as well as the concept of "controlled disease". We focused on potential predictors of recurrence after ESS, such as type 2 inflammation, asthma, aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, incomplete initial surgery and lack of adherence to long-term post-operative local corticosteroids. We discussed the new aspects of diagnosis and treatment of recurrences after surgery, summarising our suggestions in a detailed algorithm for practical management of patients with recurrent disease.
Conclusions: The results emphasised the importance of accurate evaluation of patients with CRSwNP recurrence, focusing on the reasons of failure and risk of disease progression, in order to guide personalised interventions. It is crucial to define the concept of appropriate surgery, which affects the choice between starting a biologic or repeating surgery.

Background: Ethanol ablation (EA) has been proposed as a first-line treatment modality for recurrent symptomatic cystic thyroid nodules following initial aspiration. The efficacy of EA can be compromised when the initial nodule volume exceeds 10 mL. This study assessed the efficacy of single-session EA in managing thyroid cysts with an initial volume of ≥10 mL.

Introduction: Current trends of delaying childbearing and the increasing incidence of endometrial cancer in nulliparous woman necessitate research and development of fertility sparing treatments. Hormonal therapy with progestins offers an alternative to surgical treatment for a select group of patients of reproductive-age, who wish to preserve their reproductive potential.
Materials And Methods: The study evaluates the effectiveness of medroxyprogesterone acetate therapy in patients with early-stage endometrial cancer, atypical endometrial hyperplasia or atypical polypoid adenomyoma, seeking to preserve fertility.

Purpose: Male breast cancer is an understudied disease with unique clinicopathological features. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of the Clinical Treatment Score post-5 years (CTS5) in estimating late recurrence risk in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) male breast cancer patients.
Methods: This retrospective study includes 65,711 ER+ early male (n = 611) and female (n = 65,100) breast cancer patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database diagnosed between 2010 and 2018.
