Pathological factors that influence and predict survival following pelvic exenteration (PE) for locally advanced (LARC) or locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC), especially LRRC, remain poorly unders...
A retrospective cohort study was performed for all patients undergoing a curative PE for LARC or LRRC between 2008 and 2021 at a tertiary referral UK specialist colorectal hospital. Cox regression ana...
388 patients were included in the analysis with 256 resections for LARC and 132 for LRRC. 62.4% of patients were male with a median age of 59 years (IQR 49-67). 247 (64%) partial pelvic exenterations ...
A positive resection margin and poorly differentiated tumours are significant negative prognostic markers for survival and recurrence in LARC. The results of this study support the need to look for al...
Local recurrence is common after curative resections of rectal cancer. Surgical resection is considered a primary curative treatment option for patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). LR...
From April 2010 to March 2022, a total of 166 patients underwent surgery for LRRC in the pelvic region at our institutions. Clinicopathological background and VTE incidence were compared retrospective...
Among the 166 patients included in the study, 55 patients (33.1%) needed sacral resection. Pharmacological prophylaxis for prevention of VTE was performed in 121 patients (73.3%), and the incidence of...
This study demonstrates that surgery for LRRC combined with sacral resection could be a significant risk factor for VTE....
Local recurrent brain metastases are defined as lesions that recur in the brain at the same site after a previous local therapy. In patients already submitted to surgery, a second operation may be pot...
37 patients submitted to surgery for a local, histologically confirmed, recurrent brain metastases between 2000 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed with respect to the following parameters: age, hi...
A significant improvement of post-operative KPS status was obtained after second surgery. At multivariate analysis better results in terms of OS were achieved in patients with a pre-operative KPS ≥ 70...
Surgical resection of local recurrent brain metastases may improve patients ́ neurologic conditions allowing more time for systemic therapies to act with a low incidence of surgery-related morbidity a...
The management of locally recurrent gynecological carcinoma remains a challenge due to the limited availability of data. This study aims to share our institutional experience in using definitive radio...
The study retrospectively reviewed 20 patients in our hospital completing salvage 3D image-based HDR brachytherapy, with or without EBRT, for locally recurrent cervical and endometrial carcinoma after...
During a median observation period of 21 months, the study reported a tumor objective response rate of 95%. The 3-year DFS and OS rates were 89.4% and 90.9%, respectively. The EBRT combined with brach...
3D image-guided brachytherapy combined with EBRT shows effective tumor control and acceptable toxicity profile for women with locally recurrent gynecologic cancer. The success in managing vaginal recu...
Currently, the high recurrence rate still forms severe challenges in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. The GALAD score, including age, gender, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), lens culinaris agglutini...
This study included 390 HCC patients after local ablation at Beijing You'an Hospital from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022. Firstly, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) cur...
The ROC curve (AUC: 0.749) and KM curve showed the GALAD score had good predictive ability and could clearly stratify patients into two groups through the risk of recurrence. Prognostic factors select...
This research displayed that the GALAD score is an effective model for predicting the recurrence of HCC. Meanwhile, we found the poor prognosis of the high-risk group and created a nomogram for these ...
We compared the clinical outcomes of second breast conserving therapy (2ndBCT) versus salvage mastectomy (sMT) for the treatment of ipsilateral breast tumour recurrences (IBTR). 195 patients who prese...
Improved prognostic tools are needed for patients with locally recurrent extremity or truncal soft tissue sarcoma (STS)....
To examine the association between average local recurrence (LR) growth rate and outcomes following resection of locally recurrent extremity or truncal STS....
This retrospective cohort study used a prospectively maintained database from a single high-volume tertiary sarcoma referral center in the US to identify patients 16 years of age or older who underwen...
Average LR growth rate, defined as the sum of recurrent tumor maximal diameters divided by the disease-free interval after index operation....
The primary outcomes were cumulative incidences of disease-specific death (DSD), with death from other causes as a competing risk, and second LR, with death from any cause as a competing risk....
The study cohort included 253 patients (median [IQR] age, 64 [51-73] years; 140 [55.3%] male). The 5-year cumulative incidence of DSD after repeat resection was 29%. Multivariable analysis indicated t...
In this cohort study of patients undergoing resection of a locally recurrent extremity or truncal STS, LR growth rate was independently associated with DSD. These findings suggest that patients with g...
Re-irradiation with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) remains the primary treatment modality for inoperable locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the rate of radiation-relat...
The clinical significance of nonclassic, lobular carcinoma in situ (NC-LCIS) at the surgical margin of excisions for invasive cancer is unknown. We sought to determine whether NC-LCIS at or near the m...
Patients with stage 0-III breast cancer and NC-LCIS who underwent lumpectomy between January 2010 and January 2022 at a single institution were retrospectively identified. NC-LCIS margins were stratif...
A total of 511 female patients (median age 60 years [interquartile range (IQR) 52-69]) with NC-LCIS and an associated ipsilateral breast cancer with a median follow-up of 3.4 years (IQR 2.0-5.9) were ...
For completely excised invasive breast cancers associated with NC-LCIS, extent of margin width for NC-LCIS was not associated with a difference in IBTR or LRR. These data suggest that the decision to ...
There is increasing use of local excision (LE) for definitive treatment of early-stage anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) to avoid the morbidity associated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT). However, the ...
A detailed analysis of patient characteristics, histology results, recurrence patterns and salvage treatment was conducted in consecutive T1/T2N0 ASCC patients treated by LE 2010-2021 across a UK regi...
Of 621 ASCC patients discussed in the network MDT, 164 had early-stage disease (T1/T2 N0). Of these, 36 (22%) were deemed suitable for LE (median age 61 years, female to male ratio 2:1). Twenty-two LE...
LE for T1/T2 N0 ASCC of the margin or canal is a viable treatment strategy to avoid the morbidity associated with CRT and salvage treatments are still available for patients that develop recurrence. T...
