Early gastric cancer (EGC) refers to malignant tumor lesions that are limited to the mucosa and submucosa layers, regardless of the presence of lymph node metastasis. Typically, EGC has a low rate of perigastric lymph node metastasis, and long-term survival outcomes are good after radical surgical treatment. The primary objective of surgical treatment for EGC is to achieve functional preservation while ensuring a radical cure. Sentinel node navigation surgery (SNNS) is a surgical technique used in the treatment of EGC. This approach achieves functional preservation by limiting lymph node dissection and performing restrictive gastrectomy guided by intraoperative negative sentinel node (SN) biopsy. Despite the apparent improvement in the detection rate of SN with the emergence of various tracing dyes and laparoscopic fluorescence systems, the oncological safety of SNNS remains a controversial research topic. SNNS, as a true form of stomach preservation surgery that enhances the quality of life, has become a topic of interest in the EGC field. In recent years, scholars from Japan and South Korea have conducted extensive research on the feasibility and safety of SNNS in the treatment of EGC. This article aims to provide reference choices for surgeons treating EGC by reviewing relevant research on SNNS for EGC in recent years.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors are a promising new therapy for advanced Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC). We investigated real-world utilization and survival outcomes of first-line immunotherapies in a contemporary cohort.

Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) is an invasive histologic subtype with a poor prognosis and rapid progression. Currently, there is no standard therapy for the third-line treatment of mTNBC. In this study, we conducted a network meta-analysis to compare regimens and determine treatment outcomes.

As radiation therapy (RT) for Wilms tumor (WT) evolves with more conformal techniques, it is necessary to evaluate patterns of failure and toxicity. We sought to determine the rate of local failure (LF) after abdominal RT in WT, specifically focusing on those with contained rupture treated with whole abdominal and pelvic RT (WAPRT) vs flank RT. Secondary objectives were to determine overall survival (OS), distant failure (DF), and late toxicities.
