Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease with an aggressive clinical course. Patients with pancreatic cancer are usually asymptomatic until significant progression of their disease. Additionally, there are no effective screening guidelines for pancreatic cancer in the general population. This leads to a delay in diagnosis and treatment, resulting in poor clinical outcomes and low survival rates. Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is an indispensable tool for the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer. In the modern era, with exponential advancements in technology and device innovation, EUS is also being increasingly used in a variety of therapeutic interventions...

The Sonata System is a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided transcervical fibroid ablation procedure for the management of symptomatic uterine fibroids. Since its approval by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2018, this procedure has demonstrated an excellent safety profile and postprocedure satisfaction rate. We present the case of a patient treated with Sonata, who subsequently developed bacterial sepsis and Asherman's syndrome-serious complications with long-term sequelae and implications for fertility...

BACKGROUND: Abdominal lymph node (ALN) metastasis is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) because of the limited number of effective therapeutic options available. Immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as those targeting programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1), have produced encouraging results in patients with advanced HCC. Here, we report a complete response (CR) in a patient with advanced HCC and ALN metastasis after combination treatment with tislelizumab (a PD-1 inhibitor) and locoregional therapy...

BACKGROUND: Despite increasingly advanced minimally invasive percutaneous ablation techniques, surgery remains the only evidence-based therapy in curative intent for larger (>3-4 cm) renal tumors. Although minimally invasive surgery using (robotic-assisted) laparoscopic or retroperitoneoscopic approaches has gained popularity, open nephrectomy (ON) is still performed in 25% of cases, especially in tumors with central localization (partial ON) or large tumors with/without cava thrombus (total ON)...

Approximately 1,000 patients are being diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma in Denmark each year, and 20% of these are metastatic at diagnosis. Renal mass biopsies, developing the diagnostic images improve the diagnosis process. Nephron sparing surgery has been the golden standard for the last decade. Robotic/laparoscopic surgery and ablation therapy have shortened the post-hospital stay and led to a faster recovery. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immunotherapy has improved overall survival in the last decade...

BACKGROUND: Few studies have compared the therapeutic outcomes in patients with HCC who underwent laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (LRFA) versus percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, this study compared the recurrence and survival outcomes of the two RFA methods in patients with HCC. METHODS: Recurrence and overall survival outcomes were evaluated in 307 patients who underwent LRFA (n = 151) or PRFA (n = 156) as a treatment method for de novo HCC...

Well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma rarely spreads to soft tissues. Thyroid carcinoma arising within a mature cystic teratoma is even rarer. We report an extremely rare case of synchronous follicular thyroid carcinoma arising within a mature cystic ovarian teratoma and stage IV differentiated thyroid carcinoma. A 62-year-old woman who lived in an iodine-deficient area was accidentally diagnosed with an ovarian cyst during a radiological metastatic work-up for thyroid cancer. Following laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy, histopathological examination revealed a follicular thyroid carcinoma arising within a mature cystic teratoma...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common tumor worldwide and it is characterized in 20-30% of cases by liver involvement, which strongly affects the long-term patient outcome. There are many available therapies for liver colorectal metastases (CRLMs); the current standard of care is represented by liver resection, and when feasible, associated with systemic chemotherapy. Microwave thermal ablation (MWA) is a viable option in unresectable patients or to achieve treatment with a parenchymal spearing approach...

According to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system, the optimal strategy for patients with multiple HCC within the Milan Criteria is liver transplantation (LT). However, LT cannot be offered to all the patients due to organ shortages and long waiting lists, as well as because of the advanced disease carrying a high risk of poor outcomes. For early stages, liver resection (LR) or thermal ablation (TA) can be proposed, while trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) still remains the treatment of choice for intermediate stages (BCLC-B)...

BACKGROUND: Bevacizumab combined with fluorouracil is the currently recommended maintenance treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer, but the use of bevacizumab needs to be carried out in hospitals, which invisibly increases the risk of patients' exposure to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the COVID-19 epidemic. Therefore, except of the advantage of convenience, all oral drugs as the maintenance treatment can reduce hospitalization and potential exposure risk during the COVID-19 epidemic, which is worth further exploration...

Thyroid cancer, as one of the most common endocrine cancers, has seen a surge in incidence in recent years. This is most likely due to the lack of specificity and accuracy of its traditional diagnostic modalities, leading to the overdiagnosis of thyroid nodules. Although there are several treatment options available, they are limited to surgery and 131 I radiation therapy that come with significant side effects and hence cannot meet the treatment needs of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma with very high malignancy...

Background: Echinococcosis (E) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the larval morphology of echinococcosis tapeworms. Among the recognized species, two are of medical importance-E. granulosus and E. multilocularis-causing cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar echinococcosis (AE) in humans, respectively. Diagnosis of AE is based on clinical manifestation and epidemiological data, imaging techniques, histopathology and/or nucleic acid detection, and serology. At present, WHO guidelines suggest that benzimidazoles (BMZ) are mandatory in all AE patients, temporarily after complete resection of the lesions and for life in all other AE cases...

PURPOSE: Hysterectomy is a common but expensive and morbid procedure. Alternative treatments for heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) are effective in up to 80% of cases, but there is substantial variation in surgical approach and pre-operative management of HMB. This study aims to assess the approach to hysterectomies for benign indications including alternative treatments and route of operation. METHODS: We retrospectively collected patient and surgical data on all hysterectomies for benign indications from 1/4/2018 to 31/6/2020 at our tertiary-led hospital network...

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for nearly 90% of primary liver cancers, with estimates of over 1 million people affected by 2025. We aimed to explore the impacting role of an iterative surgical treatment approach in a cohort of HCC patients within the Milan criteria, associated with clinical risk factors for tumor recurrence (RHCC) after liver transplant (LT) and loco-regional therapies (LRT), as well as liver resection (LR) and/or microwave thermal ablation (MWTA)...

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) and focal therapy (FT) are popular trends for small renal masses (SRMs). However, there is currently no systematic comparison between MIPN and FT of SRMs. Therefore, we systematically study the perioperative, renal functional, and oncologic outcomes of MIPN and FT in SRMs. METHODS: We have searched the Embase, Cochrane Library, and PubMed for articles between MIPN (robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy) and FT {radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), cryoablation (CA), irreversible electroporation, non-thermal [irreversible electroporation (IRE)] ablation, and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)}...

BACKGROUND: Thermal ablation is an effective treatment for patients with metastatic colon and rectal cancer and allows surgeons to offer curative intent therapy to patients who are otherwise not candidates for resection. We aimed to report outcomes of a single institution experience using microwave ablation (MWA) with or without resection to treat five or more liver metastases. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, the University of Minnesota Division of Surgical Oncology liver surgery database was queried to identify all patients who underwent thermal ablation of five or more colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) between 2012-2018...
