AI Article Synopsis
- Prostate cancer (PCa) is a common cancer globally, with some patients experiencing tumor recurrence even after initial treatments.
- MRI plays a crucial role in checking for local recurrence but struggles with detecting small metastases, particularly in subcentimeter lymph nodes.
- A new scoring system, PI-RR, has been proposed to improve MRI assessments of local recurrence, and this review focuses on MRI findings related to post-treatment changes in PCa.
Article Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. Even following appropriate initial treatments, a subset of the patients develops tumor recurrence. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is pivotal in investigating local recurrence, but its performance is limited in detecting recurrence at other sites (especially in subcentimeter lymph nodes). Recently, an expert consensus proposed a scoring system for MRI-based assessment of local recurrence, called prostate imaging for recurrence reporting system (PI-RR). This case-based review describes the expected post-treatment changes and MRI findings of local PCa recurrence after RP and RT.

Background: De-intensification of anti-cancer therapy without significantly affecting outcomes is an important goal. Omission of axillary surgery or breast radiation is considered a reasonable option in elderly patients with early-stage breast cancer and good prognostic factors. Data on avoidance of both axillary surgery and radiation therapy (RT) is scarce and inconclusive.

Cervical cancer is preventable with screening and vaccination approaches; however, access to these preventative measures is limited both nationally and globally and thus many women will still develop cervical cancer. Novel treatments and practice-changing research have improved cervical cancer outcomes over the past few decades. In this Review, we discuss clinical trials that have refined or redefined the treatment of cervical cancers across the early stage, locally advanced, persistent, recurrent and/or metastatic disease settings.

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) poses challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to its similarities with other breast diseases like cancer. The comparative study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a vacuum-assisted biopsy device with minimally invasive excisions compared to traditional wide local excisions. The vacuum-assisted biopsy device technique offers benefits such as precise tissue removal, reduced damage to healthy tissue, shorter surgery and recovery times, and lower postoperative complication risks.

Objective: Differentiated thyroid cancers tend to excellent long-term survival after surgery. However, Locally Advanced Papillary Thyroid Cancers (LAPTCs) have poor prognosis. This study was to investigate the clinicopathologic features of LAPTC and the risk factors that affect its postoperative recurrence.
