Objective: Extant imaging methods used for the proper identification of the parathyroid glands to prevent post-operative hypothyroidism associated with the resection of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) are limited by factors such as low specificity, high cost, and technical complexity. This study, therefore, sought to investigate the efficacy of the immunocolloidal gold strip method combined with nanocarbon negative imaging tracing technology for parathyroid gland imaging during radical resection of DTC in elderly patients.
Methods: A total of 100 elderly patients with DTC were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups: the control group and the observation group.

Lymphedema is a chronic condition caused by the accumulation of protein-rich fluid in the interstitial tissue, resulting in edema and a diminished quality of life. When first-line treatments like complete decongestive therapy (CDT) fail, surgical options are considered. These include physiological procedures like lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) and vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT), which aim to restore lymphatic function, as well as reductive procedures such as liposuction and excisional techniques, which reduce limb volume.

Background: Despite efforts to expand insurance coverage, substantial inequalities persist, particularly in cancer treatment. We aimed to evaluate whether quality disparities exist across major insurance plans for patients undergoing curative-intent resection for gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of adult patients in the National Cancer Database (NCDB) diagnosed with GI malignant neoplasms between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2020.

Aim: Local excision (LE) for T1 rectal cancer may be recommended in those with low-risk disease, while resection is typically recommended in those with a high risk of luminal recurrence or lymph node metastasis. The aim of this work was to compare survival between resection and LE.
Method: This was a population-based retrospective cohort study set in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Background: Guidelines recommend the extension of the pelvic radiotherapy volume to the para-aortic region in locally advanced cervical cancer and ≥3 suspicious pelvic lymph nodes (PLN) on imaging. Whether this recommendation is also valid for clinically early stages is uncertain. The objective of this study was to investigate the para-aortic (PAO) lymph node recurrence rate in patients with early-stage cervical cancer, ≥3 metastatic PLN, and negative common iliac nodes after a radical hysterectomy followed by pelvic (chemo)radiotherapy without extension to the PAO region.
