TL;DR: Implementation of the checklist was associated with concomitant reductions in the rates of death and complications among patients at least 16 years of age who were undergoing noncardiac surgery in a diverse group of hospitals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the relationship between changes in clinician attitude and changes in postoperative outcomes following a checklist-based surgical safety intervention and find that improvements in post-operative outcomes were associated with improved perception of teamwork and safety climate among respondents, suggesting that changes in these may be partially responsible for the effect of the checklist.

TL;DR: Despite recurrences in >50% of patients, long-term survival can be achieved after resection of HCC, and intermediate and poor tumor differentiation and tumor size and number were significant predictors of disease-free survival.

TL;DR: Hepatic resection for metastatic colorectal cancer is safe and provides good long-term overall survival rates of 47% at 5 years and 28% at 10 years, even in individuals with multiple bilobar metastases.

TL;DR: It is concluded that longterm survival from pancreatic adenocarcinoma is possible if the disease is identified in its early stages as well as the development and evaluation of novel screening strategies to improve early detection of this disease.
