Background
Liposarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma, which comprises around 20% of soft tissue sarcoma. While diverse therapeutic approaches exist for liposarcoma, the primary goal remains the achievement of effective local disease control. Wide resection of liposarcoma is the cornerstone of treatment. Radiotherapy is often employed as an adjuvant measure to enhance the local disease control. At Hospital Kuala Lumpur, the treatment protocol includes R0 resection and followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. This study aims to review the demographic characteristic of liposarcoma patients and evaluate the efficacy of their treatment based on the treatment protocol.
Method and material
This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 72 patients (male/female = 43/29) were included in this study. Recorded parameters included the histologic subtype, tumor location, treatment modality, resection margin, radiotherapy status, and occurrences of local recurrence and metastasis.
Result
Histopathological examination revealed a varied spectrum of liposarcoma subtypes, with the predominant subtype being atypical lipomatous tumor (n = 35), followed by myxoid liposarcoma (n = 32), two cases of dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and three cases of pleomorphic liposarcoma. Of these patients, 69 underwent resection, while three necessitated amputations. Total 62 achieving negative and 10 cases had R1 margins. Adjuvant radiotherapy was administered in 58 cases. Overall, the local recurrence was observed in only six cases.
Conclusion
This study emphasizes that achieving R0 resection is the fundamental approach in the treatment of liposarcoma and is able to minimize the risk of local recurrence.

Introduction
The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer have tremendously changed in the last decades improving the survival and quality of life of the patients. Adherence to clinical practice guidelines in oncology significantly improves patients’ recurrence-free and overall survival. Nowadays, no national registry/database for breast cancer patients is available. This study aims to perform a nationwide analysis of the breast cancer guidelines adherence in Bulgaria, in particular regarding the diagnostic methods for histological confirmation and the types of radical surgery performed using an artificial intelligence (AI) powered software.
Materials and methods
We analyzed data from January 2019 to August 2023 nationwide using the platform with access to anonymized medical information from Bulgaria's leading territorial oncology hospitals. A total of 13,790 patients met the inclusion criteria.
Results
The gold standard diagnostic tool, CNB, was done in 5427 patients (39.35%), an intraoperative frozen section was performed as a method for confirmation of breast cancer in 6257 patients (45.37%) and the standard technique for lymph node evaluation, sentinel lymph node biopsy, was done in 357 patients (2.99%).
Conclusion
In Bulgaria, there are still difficulties in achieving comparable rates of core-needle biopsy for the diagnosis of breast cancer and we have demonstrated unacceptably high rates of frozen section use for intraoperative diagnosis of breast cancer. Breast-conserving surgery is widely accepted and available, but still, the rates are lower than usual for developed countries. The rates of sentinel lymph node biopsy, however, are unreasonably low.

Introduction
This investigation assessed whether the following factors were associated with radiographic local progression in bone metastases from renal cell carcinoma (RCC): (1) high-risk histologic features (2) lesional surgery (3) biologically effective dose (BED) of radiation therapy.
Methods and materials
A single-institution database identified all patients who underwent surgery and radiation therapy for bone metastases from RCC to the appendicular skeleton and pelvis from 2006 to 2016. Thirty-six patients underwent radiotherapy for 80 metastases. While all patients had surgical stabilization, 17/36 also had lesional surgery to address the metastatic lesion. Progression of each individual lesion was determined using the application of RECIST criteria to imaging at last follow-up.
Results
The rate of progressive disease was 8/25 (32%) in the high-risk group versus 5/55 (9%) in the standard-risk group (p = 0.019). The rate of progression among high-risk metastases undergoing lesional surgery was 0/9 versus 8/16 (50%) having non-lesional surgery (p = 0.0218). The rate of progression among standard-risk metastases undergoing lesional surgery was 1/16 (6%) versus 4/39 (10%) with non-lesional surgery (p = 1.00). High-risk histologic features (OR: 10.592, 95% confidence interval: 1.347–83.271, p = 0.025) and as well as a reduction in risk with every additional Gray of BED (OR: 0.902, 95% confidence interval: 0.827–0.984, p = 0.021) were found to predict progressive disease.
Conclusions
Bone metastases from renal cell carcinoma with high-risk histologic features are associated with less favorable response to radiotherapy than those with standard-risk histology. Delivery of a higher BED was associated with lower odds of progression.

Background
We aimed to identify prognostic factors for mortality and survival in patients operated on for metachronous primary lung cancer (MPLC).
Materials and methods
The data of 67 non-small cell lung cancer patients with MPLC, diagnosed and operated upon between January 2000 and December 2015, were retrospectively analyzed.
Results
Of the 67 included patients, 63 (94%) were male and 4 (6%) were female. The overall survival rate after second surgery was 53.6% at 5 years and 34.1% at 10 years. The mean survival time was 64 months (95% confidence interval: 35–92 months). Adjuvant treatment improved survival (p = 0.039). Although the survival of grade N0 and N1 patients did not differ, four grade N2 patients exhibited poor survival (p = 0.02). Cox's regression analysis revealed that grade N2 disease decreased survival 5.3- fold, the absence of adjuvant treatment decreased survival 2 fold and pT4 grade decreased survival 3.4 fold.
Conclusions
New lung tumors may be detected during follow-up of lung cancer patients who have been definitively treated. In such cases, if extrapulmonary metastases and N2 lymphatic involvement are absent, there is no recurrence in the surgical margins of the first operation, and there is only one new tumor, we suggest that surgical treatment should be initially chosen for patients with adequate cardiopulmonary reserves regardless of the time of appearance of the second tumor, whether or not the histopathological type is the same as that of the first tumor.

Background
During a pancreaticoduodenectomy, Feeding Jejunostomy (FJ) is frequently placed to improve postoperative nutrition. Our aim is to ascertain the effects of the FJ tube after pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Methods
Prospective analysis was performed on all patients who underwent concurrent FJ after pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipples surgery) between 2022 and 2023. On POD 1, FJ feeds were frequently initiated. After the patient had taken enough oral feeds, the jejunostomy feeds were stopped. Frequency and mean were used to represent the data.
Results
A total of 48 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with concomitant FJ. A total of 35 (72.9%) were men and the mean age was 49.2 years. The majority (28, 58.3 %) of these patients had cancer head of the pancreas as an indication for surgery. Only 13 out of 48 (27%) patients required nutrition supplementation through FJ on POD 10. Only 1 out of 48 (2%) patients required FJ feeds on POD 30. None of these patients had tube-related complications in the 30-day postoperative period. There was a single FJ-related mortality in the 30-day postoperative period due to pulmonary embolism. The patients, who required prolonged FJ feeds had grade C pancreatic leaks, delayed gastric emptying, and surgical site infection.
Conclusion
The routine use of concurrent FJ in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy has a good outcome, especially for those who require prolonged postoperative nutritional supplementation because of grade c pancreatic leak and delayed gastric emptying.

Background
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common tumors worldwide, with rising numbers of elderly patients affected. Nutritional status significantly influences tumor prognosis. We aimed to investigate the association of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue and skeletal muscle mass with the prognosis of the oldest-old patients with CRC, after surgery.
Patients
We retrospectively reviewed 210 patients >75 years who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Beijing Hospital, between December 2010 and December 2020.
Materials
Subcutaneous adipose, visceral adipose, and skeletal muscle areas were measured using BMI_CT. The cut-off values of the CT measurements were then confirmed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
Results
Subcutaneous adipose tissue index (SATI), visceral adipose tissue index (VATI), and total adipose tissue index (TATI) were significantly associated with sex and BMI. Notably, the oldest-old CRC patients with high SATI, VATI, and TATI scores exhibited significantly higher rates of wound complications and reduced postoperative hospitalization durations. Intriguingly, patients with high VATI and TATI demonstrated significantly better 5-year Overall survival (OS), Cancer-specific survival (CSS), and Disease-free survival (DFS) than patients in the other groups. Similar results were observed in patients with a high visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio (VSR) and skeletal muscle index (SMI) scores.
Conclusion
Significantly improving skeletal muscle content while concurrently managing the total adipose content, especially visceral adipose tissue, may aid in extending the survival time of oldest-old patients with CRC after surgery.

Present study aims to explore the surgery patterns and survival of T4N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in real-world condition.
Materials and methods
Clinical stage T4N2 NSCLC patients in Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Result Program were extracted. Cox regression was used for calculation of hazard ratio (HR) and confidence interval (CI), and landmark analysis was used for survival test at different cut-off time points.
Results
There were 1445 eligible patients included, of which 306 patients received surgery alone, 390 patients received induction therapy, and 749 patients received adjuvant therapy. For resection types, 1210 patients received lobectomy and 235 received pneumonectomy. Among patient receiving induction therapy, the overall survival (OS) HRs of pneumonectomy at 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 8-year cut-off points were 1.330, 0.972, 1.231, and 1.332 (P = 0.708, 0.972, 0.281 and 0.145), respectively, and cancer-specific survival (CSS) HRs at these landmark points were 2.386, 1.231, 1.455, and 1.480 (P = 0.293, P = 0.409, 0.059 and 0.056), respectively. Among patients receiving adjuvant therapy, the OS HRs of pneumonectomy at 1-year and 8-year cut-off points were 1.570 and 1.274 (P = 0.050 and 0.087), respectively, and CSS HRs at these landmark points were 1.493 and 1.284 (P = 0.096 and 0.094), respectively. Both OS and CSS of patients receiving lobectomy were superior than pneumonectomy at 3-year and 5-year in this cohort. For patients receiving surgery alone, pneumonectomy resulted in inferior survival than lobectomy at all cut-off points (all P < 0.05).
Conclusions
Surgery after induction therapy is still an optional choice for T4N2 NSCLC, and pneumonectomy should not be excluded from treatment strategy.
