Summary: This article summarizes a conference session that aimed to bring together international experts in food toxicology and food safety to share scientific knowledge. The presentations covered a wide range of interdisciplinary issues, including the impact of diet on health outcomes, methods for microbial oil extraction, food processing and its effects on safety and health, avoiding mycotoxin contamination, and the safety of cannabidiol in food supplements. Conclusions from the presentations showed that food choices can affect the risk of non-communicable diseases, food processing can have both positive and negative effects on health, and research on novel compounds is important for prevention and health.

Summary: Surgery plays a crucial role in the treatment of solid organ malignancies, with intraoperative molecular imaging (IMI) emerging as a potential tool to address various challenges faced by cancer surgeons. Recent advances in tracer development, near-infrared camera approvals, and clinical trials have shown promising progress in the field of IMI. The use of IMI is increasingly recognized as an improvement to standard oncologic surgical resections and is expected to advance the field of cancer surgery in the coming years.
