TL;DR: Multidimensional analysis considering various surgical outcomes is necessary to evaluate the learning curve for laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery, and the effective surgical learning curve was approximately 60-80 procedures in this series.

TL;DR: An analysis of pretransplant donor-specific IFN-gamma ELISPOT may identify the posttransplant risk of developing ARE and displaying decreased GFR at 6 months.

TL;DR: For the perforated colorectal cancers, the stage, thePerforation proximal to the cancer, and the number of the metastatic lymph nodes were correlated, with the survival and the cancer-free survival as factors of a poor prognosis.

TL;DR: Preoperative short-course concurrent CRT followed by delayed surgery for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer demonstrated poor pathologic responses compared with conventional long-course CRT, and it yielded considerable toxicities despite the use of an advanced radiation therapy technique.
