AI Article Synopsis
- The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol is a comprehensive approach designed to reduce surgical stress and improve recovery outcomes, particularly in colorectal cancer surgeries, by promoting teamwork among healthcare providers.
- A study involving 117 elective surgery patients demonstrated that those following the ERAS model experienced faster recovery, shorter hospital stays, and lower healthcare costs compared to patients receiving traditional care.
- The findings emphasize the effectiveness of ERAS in enhancing patient quality of life and reducing inflammation post-surgery, highlighting the value of multidisciplinary collaboration in perioperative care.
Article Abstract
Introduction: The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, a comprehensive multimodal approach, aims to mitigate surgical stress, expedite recovery, and improve postoperative outcomes. Its implementation has notably advanced perioperative care in colorectal cancer surgeries. Integrating ERAS with multidisciplinary collaboration, involving surgery, anesthesia, nursing, and nutrition, may further enhance patient outcomes, making it a significant focus in clinical practice.
Methods: This study assessed the effectiveness of integrating the ERAS model with multidisciplinary collaboration during the perioperative period in colorectal cancer patients. A total of 117 patients scheduled for elective surgery at Haiyan People's Hospital between August 2023 and April 2024 were randomly assigned to either a control group (n = 59), receiving traditional care, or an experimental group (n = 58), receiving ERAS-based multidisciplinary care. Key outcomes related to postoperative rehabilitation were evaluated.
Results: Patients in the ERAS group demonstrated significantly shorter hospital stays, quicker catheter removal, and earlier mobilization compared to the control group (P < 0.0001 for all). Additionally, the ERAS group exhibited reduced postoperative inflammatory responses, as indicated by significantly lower interleukin-6 levels on the first postoperative day (P = 0.0247). The quality of life was significantly higher in the ERAS group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the ERAS group incurred lower total hospitalization expenses than the control group (P = 0.0011).
Conclusion: These findings confirm the benefits of the ERAS protocol in enhancing postoperative recovery in colorectal cancer surgeries. The study highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in optimizing patient outcomes and reducing the burden on hospital resources.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and about 50% of its advanced patients will have liver metastasis. Preoperative assessment of the risk of liver metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer is of great significance for making individualized treatment plans. Traditional imaging examinations and tumor markers have some limitations in predicting the risk of liver metastasis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents an escalating public health challenge globally. However, drug resistance has emerged as a major impediment to successful HCC treatment, limiting the efficacy of curative interventions. Despite numerous investigations into the diverse impacts of hsa-miR-125a-5p on tumor growth across different cancer types, its specific involvement in chemotherapy resistance in HCC remains elusive.

Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are electric fields clinically approved for cancer treatment, delivered via arrays attached to the patient's skin. Here, we present a protocol for applying TTFields to torso orthotopic and subcutaneous mouse tumor models using the inovivo system. We guide users on proper system component connections, study protocol design, mouse fur depilation, array application, and treatment condition adjustment and monitoring.

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a standardized procedure for intramucosal and slightly invasive submucosal colorectal cancers (CRC). However, the role of ESD for T1b (depth of submucosal invasion: ≥1,000 μm) CRC remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of ESD for T1b CRC.
