Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of genetic alterations in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the association between EGFR mutations and recurrence after surgical resection. The presence of EGFR mutations was found to be an independent risk factor for recurrence and was associated with systemic recurrence. Targeted therapy should be considered more actively as an adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment option.

Summary: The study analyzed a patient who underwent complete resection of the knee extension mechanism and found that the knee joint extension position could be maintained during the stance phase, with increased muscle activities in the hamstring and gastrocnemius. The results suggest that hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles play an important role in maintaining the knee extension position during the stance phase.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed surgical approaches to the pineal region and found that the occipital transtentorial approach resulted in a significantly lower extent of resection compared to the supracerebellar infratentorial approach, with a higher incidence of radiological occipital lobe ischemia. There was no consistent location of residual tumor relative to the surgical approach chosen.

Summary: This case report described a 45-year-old female patient with intracardiac leiomyomatosis. Imaging methods indicated a mass likely to be leiomyoma extending from the uterus to the heart. Complete excision of the tumor was performed through an abdominal approach. Complete tumor excision is the gold standard in ICLM treatment.
