Objective: Uterine serous carcinoma (USC) is a rare diagnosis but associated with high mortality. There is limited data to guide adjuvant treatment decisions in early stage disease. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of adjuvant therapy on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in early stage USC.

Systematic Review of Sublobar Resection for Treatment of High-Risk Patients with Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center. Pittsburgh, PA. Electronic address:

Sublobar resection offers a parenchymal-sparing surgical alternative to lobectomy and includes wedge resection and segmentectomy. Sublobar resection has been historically utilized in high-risk patients with compromised lung function; however, the technique is becoming more prevalent for normal-risk patients with peripheral lung tumors < 2 cm. In this article, we summarize the technique of sublobar resection, the importance of surgical margins and lymph node sampling, patient selection, perioperative complications, outcomes, and the impact of sublobar resection on the quality of life.

Hydrogen-Generating Magnesium Alloy Seed Strand Sensitizes Solid Tumors to Iodine-125 Brachytherapy.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

December 2024

Department of Minimally Invasive Intervention, State Key Laboratory of Oncology in South China, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Cancer, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Guangzhou, 510060, P. R. China.

Radioactive iodine-125 (I) seed implantation, a brachytherapy technique, effectively kills tumor cells via X-rays and gamma rays, serving as an alternative therapeutic option following the failure of frontline treatments for various solid tumors. However, tumor radioresistance limits its efficacy. Hydrogen gas has anticancer properties and can enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of various minimally invasive focal treatments (FT) for prostate cancer (PCa), as traditional treatments still dominate despite improved imaging techniques.
  • A literature review analyzed 22 recent articles to assess different types of FT, which include thermal methods like high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as well as non-thermal methods such as irreversible electroporation (IRE).
  • While some FT options show promising functional outcomes, more comprehensive data is needed to robustly compare their oncological effectiveness against standard treatments.
