Peritumoral Edema Is Associated With Postoperative Hemorrhage and Reoperation Following Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery.
Background: Postoperative hemorrhage (POH) is a severe complication following vestibular schwannoma surgery that may require surgical treatment. The purpose of our study is to identify risk factors associated with POH and reoperation following the resection of vestibular schwannoma. Methods: We retrospectively recruited 452 vestibular schwannoma patients treated with retrosigmoid approach. ⋯ And larger hematoma occurs more commonly in tumors with peritumoral edema which may require reoperation. Tumor size and extent of tumor resection are associated with peritumoral edema. Close attention should be paid to high-risk patients especially for those who presented with severe postoperative hypertension.

Pretreatment Inflammatory-Nutritional Biomarkers Predict Responses to Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy and Survival in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer.
To evaluate the value of pretreatment inflammatory-nutritional biomarkers in predicting responses to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) and survival in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). ⋯ The pretreatment PNI can serve as a promising predictor of response to nCRT and survival in patients with LACR, which is superior to NLR, PLR, and LMR, and the patients with clinical stage III rectal cancer who have a higher PNI are more likely to benefit from nCRT.

Short-Term and Long-Term Outcomes in Mid and Low Rectal Cancer With Robotic Surgery.
To investigate the risk factors for postoperative complications and anastomotic leakage after robotic surgery for mid and low rectal cancer and their influence on long-term outcomes. ⋯ Being male, having a lower tumor location, and having a prolonged operation time were independent risk factors for complications and anastomotic leakage in mid and low rectal cancer. Complications and anastomotic leakage might have no long-term impact on oncological outcomes for mid and low rectal cancer with robotic surgery.

Post-Diagnostic Beta Blocker Use and Prognosis of Ovarian Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 11 Cohort Studies With 20,274 Patients.
Previous experimental studies have indicated that exposure to beta blocker provides protective effects against ovarian cancer (OC). However, findings from epidemiologic studies have still been controversial. Therefore, we carried out a meta-analysis to update and quantify the correlation between post-diagnostic beta blocker usage and OC prognosis. ⋯ Identifier (CRD42020188806).

Contrast-Enhanced CT-Based Radiomics Analysis in Predicting Lymphovascular Invasion in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
To develop a radiomics model based on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) to predict the lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and provide decision-making support for clinicians. ⋯ The combined model incorporating radiomics features and clinical CT predictors may potentially predict the LVI status in ESCC and provide support for clinical treatment decisions.
