TLDR
A marked increase in the use of international datasets for more highly evidenced-based changes in staging, and the enhanced use of nonanatomic prognostic factors in defining the stage grouping are notable.Abstract:
The American Joint Committee on Cancer and the International Union for Cancer Control update the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) cancer staging system periodically. The most recent revision is the 7th edition, effective for cancers diagnosed on or after January 1, 2010. This editorial summarizes the background of the current revision and outlines the major issues revised. Most notable are the marked increase in the use of international datasets for more highly evidenced-based changes in staging, and the enhanced use of nonanatomic prognostic factors in defining the stage grouping. The future of cancer staging lies in the use of enhanced registry data standards to support personalization of cancer care through cancer outcome prediction models and nomograms.read more

TL;DR: Serum Metadherin mRNA expression is a useful non-invasive biomarker for CRC that can be used for screening and early diagnosis and can increase the efficacy of other routine CRC screening markers when it is estimated in CRC patients with them.

The value of diffusion kurtosis imaging in assessing pathological complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy in rectal cancer: a comparison with conventional diffusion-weighted imaging
Feixiang Hu,Wei Tang,Yiqun Sun,Dang Wan,Sanjun Cai,Zhen Zhang,Robert Grimm,Xu Yan,Caixia Fu,Tong Tong,Weijun Peng +10 more
TL;DR: The DKI parameters, especially MKpost, showed a higher specificity than conventional DWI in assessing pCR and non-pCR in patients with LARC, but the pre-CRT ADC and MD are unreliable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of major vascular resection in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
TL;DR: Hepatectomy combined with IVC or PV resection can be safely performed in patients with ICC, and major vascular resection does not affect short and long-term outcomes in this patient population.
