Background: The introduction of total mesorectal excision improved locoregional control for rectal adenocarcinoma significantly. Standardisation of the technique of LPLND is lacking in literature.
Methods: We describe the current practices of case selection and technical details of lateral lymph node dissection in rectal cancer.

The impact of high heterogeneity of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) immunotherapy response has not been fully elucidated, restricting progress in precision immuno-oncology. We integrated single-cell transcriptomic data from 18 TNBC patients and analyzed fibroblast subpopulations. Extracellular matrix CAFs (ecmCAFs) were identified as a fibroblast subpopulation with distinct ECM-associated characteristics.

Background: In recent years, the incidence of pancreatic cancer has shown an obvious increasing trend worldwide and even causes a greater disease burden to the mankind. Due to the lack of effective early surveillance methods, patients are often in the middle to advanced stages of their disease at the time of detection, thus losing the opportunity for surgery. The currently available chemotherapy regimens are yet to be further improved to prolong patient survival.

Objective: This study aims to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of adding pazopanib to neo-adjuvant radiotherapy followed by surgery in patients with high-risk non-metastatic soft tissue sarcoma of the trunk and extremities treated in the PASART-1 and PASART-2 trials, as well as to compare the PASART cohorts to a control cohort receiving standard treatment during the same time period from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (IKNL) to investigate if adding pazopanib improves Overall Survival (OS).
Methods: Updated follow-up data on disease control, survival and long-term toxicities of the PASART-trials were extracted from electronic patient records. The effect of adding pazopanib to neo-adjuvant radiotherapy on OS was investigated by comparing the combined PASART cohorts to the IKNL cohort via direct comparison and exact matching analysis.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate clinicopathological characteristics, patterns of recurrence, survival outcomes, and implications for the addition of chemoradiotherapy for patients with resected perihilar and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
Materials And Methods: For the present retrospective study, we identified 38 and 10 patients with resected perihilar and intrahepatic CCA. In perihilar CCA, adjuvant treatment was given as chemotherapy ( = 13) or chemoradiotherapy ( = 10).
