Impact of Surgery on Disease Progression and Survival of Patients with Pleural Mesothelioma
CONCLUSIONS: Overall survival and progression-free survival were significantly better in surgery than in refusal of surgery. Surgery may improve the survival outcomes of patients with pleural mesothelioma.PMID:38428631 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.02.022 (Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery)

Immunotherapy for Resectable Locally Advanced Esophageal Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: Outside of clinical trials, immunotherapy for resectable esophageal carcinoma is limited to the adjuvant setting. Phase III trials investigating neoadjuvant and perioperative immunotherapy are now underway and will provide much-needed data on survival that may ultimately lead to practice-changing recommendations.PMID:38408631 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.02.021 (Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery)

Association Between Past and Present Operative Mortality in Congenital Heart Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Past mortality relates to present primarily for groups of hospitals at the extremes, with past 4-year more informative than past 1-year data. For individual hospitals, past may differ from present, regression to the mean is common, and many change quartiles. Past mortality should be used thoughtfully and not as the sole factor informing present decision making.PMID:38401767 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.02.018 (Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery)
