Status and prognosis of lymph node metastasis in patients with cardia cancer – A systematic review
Adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) has a poor prognosis and survival rates significantly decreases if lymph node metastasis is present. An extensive lymphadenectomy may increase chances of cure, but may also lead to further postoperative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the optimal treatment of cardia cancer remains controversial. A systematic review of English publications dealing with adenocarcinoma of the cardia was conducted to elucidate patterns of nodal spread and prognostic implications. (Source: Surgical Oncology)

What should we intend for minimally invasive treatment of colorectal cancer?
Non-inferiority of laparoscopic treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been demonstrated in randomized controlled trials although operative and perioperative management varies widely among centers. Literature data in English language published up to April 15, 2014 were analyzed in order to give an up to date analysis that would highlights the key aspects of a modern and factual minimally invasive treatment of CRC. Laparoscopic resection is the first choice treatment of colon cancer. Laparoscopic resection of rectal cancer should be considered an investigational procedure to be performed in high volume centers with specia...

Image navigation assisted joint-saving surgery for treatment of bone sarcoma around knee in skeletally immature patients
It is challenge to perform a native joint preserving resection for skeletally immature patients with bone sarcomas around the knee. We determined whether tumor resection under image-guided navigation make joint-saving surgery possible for juxta-articular sarcomas around knee while adhering oncological principles.
