Global Curriculum in Surgical Oncology: 2nd Edition, 2026
Jun 11, 2026
The authors aim to update the Global Curriculum in Surgical Oncology to address the increasing global cancer burden by incorporating recent advances in cancer surgical care while maintaining the foundational principles of the original curriculum. This revised curriculum is designed to be resource-stratified and adaptable to diverse geographical contexts, ultimately serving as a framework for training a competent global cancer surgical workforce. The implementation of this curriculum is expected to enhance the capabilities of surgeons in managing cancer effectively worldwide.
Predicting Failure of Active Surveillance in Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis Using Radiomics: An International Multi-center Cohort Study
Jun 11, 2026
The authors aimed to determine whether radiomics can effectively predict the failure of active surveillance (AS) in patients with desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF). In a multicenter study involving 200 patients, they developed prediction models based on MRI features, achieving varying levels of accuracy across different cohorts. The findings suggest that while the radiomics approach shows promise, further improvements are needed to enhance model performance and patient selection for AS.
Double Mini Upper Transversal Hepatectomy for Colorectal Liver Metastases Infiltrating the Right and the Left Hepatic Veins at the Hepatocaval Confluence
Jun 11, 2026
The authors investigate the feasibility and outcomes of a novel surgical technique, double mini upper transversal hepatectomy, for patients with colorectal liver metastases infiltrating both the right and left hepatic veins at the caval confluence, traditionally deemed unresectable. They present a case where the presence of peripheral communicating veins allowed for successful tumor resection while preserving venous outflow, leading to a positive postoperative outcome without major complications. This study suggests that parenchyma-sparing strategies can achieve oncologic radicality in complex liver resections.
