Prognostic Significance of Recurrence and Timing of Recurrence on Survival Among Patients with Early-Stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma in U.S. Clinical Practice
Many patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) experience recurrence after curative-intent resection or ablation, with a poor prognosis. Real-world patterns of recurrence and the prognostic significance of early recurrence in U.S. clinical practice have not been well characterized.

Fibroblast Activation Protein-α Expression in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Shows the Poor Survival of Colorectal Cancer via Immune-Mediated Pathways : Implications of FAP in Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Link Immune Dysregulation to Adverse Survival in Colorectal Cancer
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and immune cells, the key components of the tumor microenvironment (TME), play critical roles in oncogenesis. Despite the recognized function of fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP), a specific biomarker of CAFs in cancer progression, its role in the survival of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) remains unclear.
Breast Cancer Recurrence in Initially Clinically Node-Positive Patients Undergoing Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in the NEOSENTITURK-Trials MF18-02/18-03
This study aims to identify factors predicting recurrence and unfavorable prognosis in cN+ patients who have undergone sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
A Multicenter Retrospective Study on Adjuvant S-1 Chemotherapy Versus Observation Following Major Hepatectomy for Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma
The prognosis of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PHC) is poor even after curative resection, highlighting the need for effective adjuvant chemotherapy. The efficacy of adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy following major hepatectomy for PHC is unclear, and thus the aim of this study was to elucidate this.

Patterns of Care and Oncologic Outcomes after Pelvic Exenteration for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer in the United States
Pelvic exenterations (PEs) are technically demanding procedures performed with curative intent for advanced malignancies to improve patient survival while balancing morbidity and functional outcomes. The majority of United States (US) data regarding PE for rectal cancers originate from single-center series.
Technical Guidelines for Safe Mesojejunum Dissection During Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Unveiling Critical Techniques in a Complex Procedure
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is a complex procedure involving the dissection of the superior mesenteric artery and vein. However, a safe and standardized technique for dissecting the jejunal veins (JVs) in the mesojejunum during PD remains elusive.
