Adjuvant Chemotherapy Is Associated with Improved Survival for Stage III Colon Cancer When Initiated Beyond 8 Weeks
ConclusionReceipt of AC for stage III colon cancer may be affected by surgical complications or otherwise prolonged recovery. Timely and even delayed AC (>8 weeks) are both associated with improved overall survival. These findings highlight the importance of delivering guideline-based systemic therapies, even after complicated surgical recovery. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)

Distal Versus Total D2-Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: a Secondary Analysis of Surgical and Oncological Outcomes Including Quality of Life in the Multicenter Randomized LOGICA-Trial
ConclusionsIf oncologically feasible, DG should be preferred over TG due to less complications, faster postoperative recovery, and better QoL while achieving equivalent oncological effectiveness.Mini-abstractDistal D2-gastrectomy for gastric cancer resulted in less complications, shorter hospitalization, quicker recovery and better quality of life compared to total D2-gastrectomy, whereas radicality, nodal yield and survival were similar.

Esophageal Motility Patterns in Paraesophageal Hernia Patients Compared to Sliding Hiatal Hernia: Bigger Is Not Better
ConclusionPEH patients had higher rates of IEM compared to controls, possibly due to a chronically distorted esophageal lumen. Offering the appropriate operation hinges on understanding the involved anatomy and esophageal function of each individual. HRM is important to obtain preoperatively for optimizing patient and procedure selection in PEH repair. (Source: Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery)
