Achieving clear resection margins at the time of lumpectomy is essential for optimal patient outcomes. Margin status is traditionally determined by pathologic evaluation of the specimen and often is difficult or impossible for the surgeon to definitively know at the time of surgery, resulting in the need for re-operation to obtain clear surgical margins. Numerous techniques have been investigated to enhance the accuracy of intraoperative margin and are reviewed in this manuscript.

Background: Residual, recurrent, and second primary head and neck cancers are on the rise. This is largely driven by a younger age at diagnosis and increasingly targeted chemoradiotherapy options. Salvage surgery remains the only curative intent option in this cohort of patients.

Background: The detection of tumor localization is difficult in robotic surgery because surgeons have no sense of touch and rely on visual information. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative CT-guided dye marking of lung nodules prior to robotic surgery.

Methods: Patients undergoing CT-guided dye marking prior to robotic surgery at our hospital between September 2019 and April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Soft-tissue sarcoma involving the popliteal fossa remains challenging because it is difficult to achieve wide margins with limb salvage in this location. Adjuvant therapy is frequently necessary, and limb function can be adversely affected. We reviewed our experience with these tumors.

Backgrounds/aims: Given the high mortality associated with gallbladder cancer (GBC), the efficacy of adjuvant therapy (AT) remains controversial. We audited our data over an 11-year period to assess the impact of AT.

Methods: This study included all patients who underwent curative resection for GBC from 2007 to 2017.

Background And Objective: We evaluate prognostic factors and patterns of recurrence in patients who received RT ± androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for pathologic node-positive (pN1) prostate cancer (PCa) in a multi-institutional cohort.

Methods: Data from patients with pN1 PCa and received RT with short term (ST, ≤6 mo) or long term (LT, >6 mo) ADT were obtained from 4 academic institutions. Biochemical progression free survival (bPFS) and distant metastasis free survival (DMFS) were evaluated.
