Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Radiomics modelling in rectal cancer to predict disease-free survival: evaluation of different approaches.
Radiomics may be useful in rectal cancer management. The aim of this study was to assess and compare different radiomics approaches over qualitative evaluation to predict disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant therapy. ⋯ Radiomics models can predict DFS in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Multicenter Study
Prognosis of poorly cohesive gastric cancer after complete cytoreductive surgery with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CYTO-CHIP study).
The incidence of gastric poorly cohesive carcinoma (PCC) is increasing. The prognosis for patients with peritoneal metastases remains poor and the role of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is controversial. The aim was to clarify the impact of gastric PCC with peritoneal metastases treated by CRS with or without HIPEC. ⋯ In selected patients, CRS-HIPEC offers acceptable outcomes among those with gastric PCC and long survival for patients without PCC.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Adrenalectomy for incidental and symptomatic phaeochromocytoma: retrospective multicentre study based on the Eurocrine® database.
Phaeochromocytoma is sometimes not diagnosed before surgery and may present as an adrenal incidentaloma. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in clinical presentation and perioperative outcome in patients with subclinical and symptomatic phaeochromocytoma, and in patients operated with and without preoperative α-blockade. ⋯ Subclinical phaeochromocytoma detected incidentally is common. A significant proportion of patients with phaeochromocytoma did not have α-blockade before surgery, without an apparent effect on complications.
