Summary: Endometrial cancer is a common gynecological malignancy with increasing incidence rates annually. Lymph node status is crucial for prognosis evaluation and treatment selection. Sentinel lymph node mapping (SLNM) in early-stage lower risk EC patients has shown high detection rate and sensitivity without compromising patient survival.

Summary: Occult endometrial cancer after supracervical hysterectomy is rare, and restaging should be considered for optimal management. A case report described a patient with metastatic parametrium after laparoscopic surgery, highlighting the feasibility of SLN mapping with cervical injection even without the uterine corpus.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the overall sensitivity and specificity of indocyanine green (ICG)-near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging in the detection of sentinel lymph node metastasis (SLNM) in penile cancer. The results showed that ICG-NIR imaging had high sensitivity but low specificity for SLNM detection.

Summary: Sentinel lymph node mapping is a viable alternative to full lymphadenectomy for evaluating lymphatic spread in clinical stage I endometrial cancer. While lymphadenectomy provides valuable information, most patients do not benefit from this procedure. SLN mapping offers prognostic information and avoids postoperative complications.

Summary: This study estimates the annual cost of wasted indocyanine green (ICG) used for sentinel lymph node mapping in patients with endometrial cancer. The findings show that the current manufactured vial size of ICG leads to wasted costs exceeding $2 million for hospitals and $13.3-$17.7 million for patients annually. The study suggests packaging ICG in smaller vials to avoid drug waste and financial impact.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to review the literature on ovarian sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping and assess its feasibility. The results showed that SLN mapping in ovarian tumors is feasible and has a high sensitivity for detecting lymph node involvement. Larger studies are needed to further evaluate the sensitivity of this procedure.

Summary: Surgical staging for clinical early-stage endometrial cancer traditionally involved complete lymphadenectomy to assess lymph node metastasis. However, sentinel lymph node biopsy has been shown to have similar accuracy and is now considered an acceptable alternative.

Summary: The use of ICG coupled with NIR fluorescence imaging in SLN mapping for vulvar cancer shows good feasibility and accuracy, with a detection rate ranging from 89.7% to 100%. Studies with more metastatic lymph nodes tend to have lower SLN detection rates. There is no consensus on the optimal use of ICG.

Summary: The study investigates the oncological safety and potential cost savings of selective histopathological examination after appendectomy. The results suggest that this selective policy is oncologically safe and can reduce the workload of pathologists, save costs, and minimize re-resections without clear benefits.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review was to determine the distance and incidence of distal mesorectal spread. The results showed that distal mesorectal spread occurred in 11% of cases, with an average distance of 20.2mm. Overtreatment is present if a distal margin of 5cm is routinely utilized.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of vascular ligation during ileal pouch-anal anastomosis on the time to fluorescence enhancement during intraoperative fluorescence angiography. The results showed that vascular ligation may prolong the time to fluorescence enhancement, possibly due to arterial rerouting and venous outflow obstruction.

Summary: This qualitative study investigated the decision-making process of surgeons regarding protective ileostomy creation after rectal cancer surgery. The results showed that 76% of surgeons supported the creation of ileostomy. When making the decision, 88% of surgeons considered risk factors. Emotions influenced the decision-making process in 22% of cases, and personal experiences influenced it in 49% of cases. The most frequently considered risk factors were the distance between the anus and the tumor (96%), neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (88%), positive intraoperative leak test (65%), blood loss (37%), and immunosuppression therapy (35%).

Summary: This retrospective multicentre cohort study aimed to identify risk factors for a permanent stoma (PS) in patients with left-sided obstructive colon cancer (LSOCC) and develop pre- and postoperative prediction models. The results showed that 37% of LSOCC patients had a PS, and 53% of those with a stoma directly after resection had a PS due to non-reversal. Both baseline characteristics and treatment strategies determine the risk of a PS in LSOCC patients. The developed predictive models will help physicians understand the role of individual variables in the risk of a PS and inform patients about the probability of a PS.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analyses demonstrate a strong association between ctDNA and recurrent disease in non-metastatic rectal cancer. ctDNA analysis can stratify patients into high and low risk groups for recurrence, especially when detected after neoadjuvant treatment and surgery. Future research should focus on the feasibility of ctDNA-guided treatment and follow-up strategies in rectal cancer.

Summary: In a randomized phase II trial, the study compared the patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPMs) who received perioperative systemic therapy or cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) alone. The results showed that there were comparable PROs between the two groups at 3 and 6 months postoperatively, indicating acceptable tolerance of perioperative systemic therapy in this setting.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the attitudes of surgeons involved in the treatment of synchronous colorectal liver metastases (sCRLM). The study found that there were differences in clinical practices and viewpoints on the management of sCRLM among surgeons from different specialties and continents. However, there was consensus on a growing role for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and a need for evidence-based input.
