With a median follow-up of 3 years, this approach appears to be feasible, is not associated with notable toxicity and short term disease free and overall survival results are encouraging Clinical Analysis and Surgical Results of Cardiac Myxoma in Pediatric Patients Kai Hong Wu, Xu Ming Mo, and Ying Long Liu Malignant Abdominal Mesothelioma: Defining the Role of Surgery Dayron Rodriguez, Michael C. Cheung, Nadine Housri, and Leonidas G. Koniaris The incidence of abdominal mesothelioma is examined. A beneficial role tor surgical extirpation is demonstrated using retrospective US national cancer registry data Factors Associated With Anastomotic Recurrence After Total Mesorectal Excision in Rectal Cancer Patients Young-Wan Kim, Nam-Kyu Kim, Byung-Soh Min, Hyuk Huh, Jin-Soo Kim, Jeong-Yeon Kim, Seung-Kook Sohn, and Chang-Hwan Cho A distal margin = 10 mm appears to be acceptable in terms of anastomotic recurrence. Patients with a positive distal margin, on the postoperative pathology, should be considered at high risk for anastomotic recurrence Elevated Preoperative Serum Carcinoembrionic Antigen Level May Be an Effective Indicator for Needing Adjuvant Chemotherapy After Potentially Curative Resection of Stage 11 Colon Cancer Yutaka Ogata, Hidetsugu Murakami, Teruo Sasatomi, Nobuya Ishibashi, Shinjiro Mori, Masataka Ushijima, Yoshito Akagi, and Kazuo Shirouzu Contiguous Invasion Per Se Does not Affect Prognosis in Colon Cancer Seung Yeop Oh, Young Bae Kim, Ok Joo Paek, and Kwang Wook Suh This study was intended to investigate the feasibility of en bloc combined resection and the prognostic significance of tumor invasion to adjacent organ in locally advanced colon cancer. The prognosis of colon cancer is not affected by the contiguous invasion but related to nodal metastasis, lymphovascular invasion, and perineural invasion End-to-End Versus End-to-Side Stapled Anastomoses After Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer Giuseppe Brisinda, Serafino Vanella, Federica Cadeddu, Ignazio Massimo Civello, Francesco Brandara, Casimiro Nigro, Pasquale Mazzeo, Gaia Marniga, and Giorgio Maria Sphincter-saving procedures for rectal resection have become prevalent as their safety and efficacy have been established. Increased anastomotic leak rate, associated with the type of anastomosis and the distance trom the anal verge, has been reported How I Do It: A Simplified Technique of Free Flap Pedicle Transfer for Reconstruction of Defects Following Head and Neck Cancer Ablation Rajeev Sharan, Mohit Sharma, Sundeep Vijayaraghavan, P.R.
