- The relationship of acute appendicitis occurring previous to cancer in colon and rectum was studied in the consecutive records of 561 patients, of 40 years of age and older, operated upon with an appendectomy because of acute appendicitis. Sixteen (2.9%) of these patients were readmitted within three years because of a carcinoma in colon or rectum. The incidence of carcinoma in the colon and rectum in the population, of the same age, is only 0.1%, according to the Swedish Cancer Registry (1). This difference is statistically significant. Where acute appendicitis and colon carcinoma co‐exist, the danger is that the carcinoma may be missed. Therfore, any patient over the age of 40 presenting with acute appendicitis should be carefully checked for carcinoma in the colon.

- Patients with cancer have an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to a hypercoagulable state associated with malignancy. This risk is further complicated in patients undergoing cancer-related surgery due to immobility, other cancer treatments, and biologic changes associated with surgery. Despite this relatively high risk of VTE, many patients are not prescribed adequate prophylaxis in the pre- or post-operative periods. This article reviews available measures for thromboprophylaxis in light of current guidelines.

- The effect of general microwave hyperthermia and hepatic artery ligation (HAL) was tested on Wistar rats with a transplanted N‐methyl‐N‐nitroso‐guanidine‐induced adenocarcinoma in the liver. Total body hyperthermia (41.5°C for 1 hour, three times during 24 hours) was given on the same day as HAL, and 1, 2, and 3 days after. HAL induced a slower tumor growth than untreated controls. No additive effect was registered when total body microwave hyperthermia was added to HAL. When hyperthermia was added 2 days after HAL, there was a transient decrease in tumor volume as in the HAL series. Total body microwave hyperthermia added 3 days after HAL induced a faster tumor growth than after HAL alone. When hyperthermia was added the same day and 1 day after HAL, there was a 50% mortality.

- Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) treatment of colorectal peritoneal metastases (PM) is an established treatment alternative. The study aim was, first, to investigate the outcome of high-volume disease defined by the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) 20; second, to report the long-term disease-free survival of patients with >5 years observation. Methods: Consecutive patients with colorectal PM from a prospective HIPEC database between 2004 and 2010 were included, 67 patients. Clinicopathological and outcome parameters were compared between low PCI (n = 40) and high PCI (n = 27). A subgroup analysis on patients with >5 years observation was performed (n = 32). Disease-free survival after 5 years defined cure. Results: Median overall survival (OS) was 28 months, low PCI-group 33 months versus high PCI-group 17 months (P = 0.03). Median OS of patients with complete CRS (n = 56) was 30 months, low PCI-group 37 months versus high PCI-group 27 months (P = 0.2), with 5-year survival of 31% and 21%, respectively. No difference in morbidity/mortality. The cure rate was 22% in the subgroup (7/32) and 28% in those with complete CRS (7/25). Two patients in the cured group had PCI 29 and 34. Discussion: Treatment of high-volume disease may result in long-term survival and even cure. The key is to reach a complete CRS. The overall cure rate is 22%.

- Introduction Radical prostatectomy (RP) is a common surgical procedure with a risk of postoperative erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. There is a need for data on RP as a basis for quality assurance and benchmarking. Methods In 2015, prostatectomies in Sweden (PiS) form was implemented in the National Prostate Cancer Register (NPCR) of Sweden with data on pre-, peri- and post-operative variables. Results Out of all radical prostatectomies performed in 2016 in Sweden, 3096/3881 (80%) were registered in PiS. A total of 2605 (84%) were robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and 491 (16%) were RRP (retropubic radical prostatectomy). RARP was performed by 91 surgeons of whom 47% operated more than 25 RP/year; and RRP was performed by 69 surgeons of whom 10% performed more than 25 RP/year. RARP had a longer operative time (median operating time: RARP 155 minutes [IQR 124-190]; RRP 129 minutes [IQR 105-171]; P < .001) but was associated with smaller bleeding (median intraoperative blood loss: RARP 100 mL [IQR 50-200], RRP 700 mL [IQR 500-1100]; P < .001). Conclusions We report on a nationwide, population-based register with transparent reporting of data on the performance of radical prostatectomy. These data are needed as a basis for quality assurance with comparisons of results from individual surgeons and hospitals.

- Stage III in colorectal cancer is defined by presence of node metastasis, whereas distant growth constitutes stage IV. The aim was to describe prognosis in high risk groups of stage III in relation to survival in stage IV, along with possible effect on research and treatment.

- BACKGROUND: Advantages of one-stage implant-based reconstructions include expedited surgery and recovery. This study aimed to investigate clinical and patient-reported outcomes in one-stage implant-based breast reconstructions without acellular dermal matrix (ADM).METHODS: A prospectively collected database from 2002 to 2018 was retrospectively reviewed. One-stage and two-stage groups were compared for demographics, implant properties, early complications (hematoma, seroma, poor wound healing, implant removal), late complications (skin necrosis, capsular contracture, implant exposure, implant rupture), revision procedures, and Breast-Q questionnaire outcomes.RESULTS: A total of 223 patients, 187 one-stage (84%) and 36 two-stage (16%) patients were recruited. At a mean follow-up of 124.9 and 92.5 months, respectively (p < .01), there were no differences in early (p = .85) or late (p = .23) complications or revision procedures (p = .12). Eighty patients (36%) returned the Breast-Q questionnaire (60 one-stage, 20 two-stage patients). There were no statistical differences in patient reported outcomes in breast well-being (p = .07), psychosocial well-being (p = .84), or sexual well-being (p = .78).CONCLUSIONS: One-stage implant-based breast reconstruction without an ADM is a viable reconstruction providing comparable outcomes to two-stage procedures, with the benefit of minimal complications, a shorter reconstructive journey, and satisfactory quality of life.
