Factors Associated With Residual Disease on Re-Excision Specimens After Breast-Conserving Surgery for Breast Cancer
Lee K, Pallesi A, Valdez BJ, Hanes DA, Samuels E, Stern S, Handy NM, Fancher CE, Orozco JIJ and Grumley JG
After breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for early-stage breast cancer, re-excision rates for positive or close margins remain high, although most re-excisions show no residual disease. This study aimed to identify clinicopathologic factors associated with residual disease to guide re-excision decisions.

Preoperative Physiological Reserve and Pathological Response as Independent Predictors of Survival in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma after Neoadjuvant Therapy
Cui R, Cheng J, Hao X, Chen L and Yang Y
Despite standardized multimodal treatment, long-term outcomes in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain variable. We aimed to identify preoperative and pathological factors associated with survival following neoadjuvant therapy and esophagectomy.
Short-and Long-term Patient Outcomes in Hospitals Primarily Serving Patients with Colorectal Cancer from High-Poverty Areas-An Observational Cohort Study
Zheng X, Pinheiro LC, Tehranifar P, Phillips E, Tamimi RM, Chao SY, Pisu M, Gao C, Rundle AG and Mao J
Prior evidence indicate that differences in treatment settings between patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) from high-poverty areas (HPA, ≥ 20% residents living under poverty level) and low-poverty areas (LPA) might have contributed to disparities in their health outcomes. We sought to determine whether certain hospitals predominantly provided surgical care for patients with CRC from HPAs and examine associated patient outcomes.

The Effect of Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection on Cancer-Specific Mortality in Partial Cystectomy According to Eligibility Criteria
Longoni M, Le QC, Falkenbach F, Marmiroli A, Nicolazzini M, Catanzaro C, Polverino F, Goyal JA, Graefen M, Ferro M, Chun FKH, Palumbo C, Schiavina R, Longo N, Saad F, Shariat SF, Quarta L, Moschini M, Gandaglia G, Montorsi F, Briganti A and Karakiewicz PI
This study tested the rates of partial cystectomy (PC) according to PC eligibility criteria (  ≤  cT2 stage, tumor   ≤  3 cm, and segmental resection possible), as well as the effect of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) at PC on cancer-specific mortality (CSM).
Surgical Outcomes of Robotic, Minimally Invasive, and Open Esophagectomy After Neoadjuvant Therapy: a Propensity Score-Matching Study
Hong J, Wang P, Lin J, He H, Zhang H, Qiu Y, Liu X, Liu S and Wang F
This study compared surgical outcomes among robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE), minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE), and open esophagectomy (OE) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after neoadjuvant therapy (NAT).
Machine Learning for Classification in Lung Cancer Using Routine Clinical and Laboratory Data
Liu C, Liao Y, Wang D, Yang J, Zhao L, Liu X, Wang Z and Wu L
Accurate pathological classification of lung cancer is essential for informing treatment strategies. However, invasive biopsy procedures are not feasible for high-risk patients or those with inaccessible lesions. This study aimed to develop a machine learning model utilizing routine clinical and laboratory data for classification of non-invasive lung cancer.
