OBJECTIVE: To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system for the early prediction of residual cancer burden (RCB) scores during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: RCB III indicates drug resistance in breast cancer, and early detection methods are lacking. METHODS: This study enrolled 1048 patients with breast cancer from four institutions, who were all receiving NAC. Magnetic resonance images were collected at the pre- and mid-NAC stages, and radiomics and deep learning features were extracted...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Surgery is pivotal in the management of neuroblastoma (NB), particularly in patients with Image-Defined Risk Factors (IDRFs). The International Neuroblastoma Surgical Report Form (INSRF) was introduced to enhance surgical reporting quality and analyze the defining role of extensive surgery in NB. This study reports our experience with INSRF and explores new criteria for evaluating the extent of surgical resection. METHODS: INSRF was deployed to critically analyze 166 patients with abdominal or pelvic NB who underwent surgery at our department between October 2021 and June 2023...

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether variations in Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) are associated with disparities in colon cancer surgery and mortality. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Colon cancer mortality is influenced by health care access, which is affected by individual and community-level factors. Prior studies have not used the SVI to compare surgical access and survival in localized colon cancer patients. Further, it is unclear if those above 65 years are more vulnerable to variations in SVI...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between objective (geospatial) and subjective (perceived) measures of neighborhood disadvantage (ND) and aggressive breast cancer (BCa) tumor biology, defined using validated social adversity-associated transcription factor (TF) activity and clinical outcomes. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: ND is associated with shorter BCa recurrence-free survival (RFS), independent of individual, tumor, and treatment characteristics, suggesting potential unaccounted biological mechanisms by which ND influences RFS...

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the costs of a Same-Day Discharge Enhanced Recovery Pathway (SDD) for diverting loop ileostomy closure compared to a standard institutional enhanced recovery protocol (ERP). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Every year, 50,155 patients in the United States undergo temporary stoma reversal. While ambulatory stoma closure has shown promise, widespread adoption remains slow. This study builds on previous research, focusing on the costs of a novel SDD protocol introduced in 2020...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at assessing outcomes after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in dependence of center policy with respect to imaging intraoperative completion study (ICSi) usage. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Although randomized controlled studies are missing, a beneficial effect was shown for ICSi techniques (i.e., angiography and intraoperative duplex ultrasound) after CEA. METHODS: This secondary data analysis is based on the German statutory quality assurance database...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to compare long-term post-resection oncological outcomes between A-IPMN and PDAC. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Knowledge of long term oncological outcomes (e.g recurrence and survival data) comparing between adenocarcinoma arising from intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (A-IPMN) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is scarce. METHODS: Patients undergoing pancreatic resection (2010-2020) for A-IPMN were identified retrospectively from 18 academic pancreatic centres and compared with PDAC patients from the same time-period...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between burns and hospitalization for mental health disorders up to three decades later. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Burns are associated with pain, disability, and scarring, but the long-term impact on mental health is unclear. METHODS: We analyzed a cohort of 23,726 burn patients aged ≥10 years who were matched to 223,626 controls from Quebec, Canada, between 1989 and 2022. The main exposure was admission for a burn...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine if advances in neoadjuvant therapy affected recurrence patterns and survival outcomes after pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). BACKGROUND: Data are limited on how modern multimodality therapy affects PDAC recurrence and post-recurrence survival. METHODS: Patients who received neoadjuvant therapy followed by curative-intent pancreatectomy for PDAC during 1998-2018 were identified. Treatments, recurrence sites and timing, and survival were compared between patients who completed neoadjuvant therapy and pancreatectomy in 1998-2004, 2005-2011, and 2012-2018...

OBJECTIVE: Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare disease and reported outcomes of surgical management, typically a Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE), vary considerably across the world. Centralization has been proposed to improve this. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: A national centralization programme was started in Jan. 1999, involving 3 English units with co-located liver transplant facilities. As the program has now reached the 20-year point, the main aim was to update outcome statistics and identify trends...

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether long-term surveillance of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) leads to early diagnosis and better clinical outcomes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) developing concomitantly with IPMNs. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Long-term image-based surveillance is recommended for patients with low-risk IPMNs. However, it is unknown whether the surveillance can improve surgical and survival outcomes of patients with concomitant PDACs...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to demonstrate that creation of a Center for Trauma Survivorship (CTS) is not cost prohibitive but is a revenue generator for the institution. BACKGROUND: A dedicated CTS has been demonstrated to increase adherence with follow-up visits and improve overall aftercare in severely injured patients discharged from the trauma center. A potential impediment to the creation of similar centers is its assumed prohibitive cost. METHODS: This pre-and post-cohort study examines the financial impact of patients treated by the CTS...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance and risk factors of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after post-pancreatectomy acute pancreatitis (PPAP) in patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: PPAP has been recognized as a critical factor in the pathophysiology of POPF after PD. METHODS: A total of 817 consecutive patients who underwent elective PD between January 2020 and June 2022 were included...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to present the early and mid-term outcomes of fenestrated/branched thoracic endovascular aortic repair (f/bTEVAR) for aortic arch pathologies. BACKGROUND: f/bTEVAR represents a less invasive treatment option for aortic arch diseases. Previous published series showed decreased early mortality and morbidity compared to open repair. METHODS: A single-center retrospective analysis of consecutive patients, managed with f/bTEVAR (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA) between 01...
