Cancer radical surgery is the primary treatment for melanoma, but almost all malignant melanoma patients get recurrence and metastasis after surgery and are eventually dead. This clinical dilemma appeals to better drugs for post-surgery therapy. Artemisinin is a safe and effective antimalarial drug used in the clinic for decades.

However, diagnostic challenges with core biopsy specimens often result in suboptimal surgical margins. This study aims to elucidate the correlation between margin status and PT recurrence, thereby informing surgical decision-making and enhancing patient outcomes.

Background: Desmoid-type fibromatosis of the breast is a rare, benign, but locally aggressive tumor that typically affects women.

This case report describes a unique presentation of breast fibromatosis in a male patient, who developed the condition after undergoing liposuction for cosmetic purposes to define the pectoral area.

Background: Treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) involves neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT), followed by total mesorectal excision. Examining the response to treatment is one of the most important factors in the follow-up of patients; therefore, in this study, radiomics patterns derived from pretreatment computed tomography images in rectal cancer and its relationship with treatment response measurement criteria have been investigated.
Methods: Fifty patients with rectal adenocarcinoma who were candidates for nCRT and surgery were included.

Extensive postmastectomy defects and soft-tissue defects often require some additional flap cover of reconstruction after excision. The reconstruction aim in this group should be a diligent and easy closure with a quality skin cover, early recovery, and brief stay in hospital so that the patients can receive early postoperative radiotherapy/chemotherapy. Medially based abdominal transposition flap is a type C fasciocutaneous flap based on medial perforating vessels.
