Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA) is a key inducer of angiogenesis, responsible for generating new blood vessels in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and facilitating metastasis. Notably, Avastin, which targets VEGFA, failed to demonstrate any significant benefit in clinical trials for breast cancer (BC). This study aimed to investigate the clinical relevance of gene expression in BC.

Background: Current management of patients with borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (BR-PDAC) depends on the degree of involvement of the major arterial and venous structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate 3D segmentation and printing to predict tumor size and vascular involvement of BR-PDAC to improve pre-operative planning of vascular resection and better select patients for neoadjuvant therapy.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 16 patients with BR-PDAC near vascular structures who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with or without vascular resection between 2015 and 2021.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a systemic and systematic chemotherapy regimen for breast cancer patients before surgery. However, NAC is not effective for everyone, and the process is excruciating. Therefore, accurate early prediction of the efficacy of NAC is essential for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients.

Background: Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation (nCRT) has been shown to improve survival in patients with Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC). The objective of this study is to assess the patient characteristics associated with tumor downstaging in a large national database. Additionally, we evaluated surgical approach and change in clinical versus pathological staging as predictors of patient survival.

Background: Immuno-chemotherapy has demonstrated significant anti-tumor effects in patients with resectable nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Additionally, for patients initially diagnosed with unresectable stage III NSCLC, induction immuno-chemotherapy may achieve tumor downstaging, enabling conversion to resectable disease allowing for by R0 resection. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of induction immuno-chemotherapy followed by conversion surgery in unresectable stage III NSCLC.
