One-Year Experience of Same-Day Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction Protocol
August 11, 2022
Specht, M.C., Kelly, B.N., Tomczyk, E. et al. One-Year Experience of Same-Day Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction Protocol. Ann Surg Oncol 29, 5711–5719 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1245/s10434-022-11859-9
Synopsis: A same-day mastectomy recovery protocol was implemented March 2020 at the authors’ institution. Postoperative recovery course was compared to a historical mastectomy cohort. Median length of stay was reduced from 24.5 hours to 5.5 hours, and overnight admissions decreased by 65.8%.
Drug-Eluting Bead, Irinotecan Therapy of Unresectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (DELTIC) with Concomitant Systemic Gemcitabine and Cisplatin

Martin, R.C.G., Simo, K.A., Hansen, P. et al. Drug-Eluting Bead, Irinotecan Therapy of Unresectable Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (DELTIC) with Concomitant Systemic Gemcitabine and Cisplatin. Ann Surg Oncol 29, 5462–5473 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1245/s10434-022-11932-3
Synopsis: The authors hypothesized that delivering irinotecan in drug-eluting beads via the hepatic artery would reduce systemic exposure while targeting to the location of the intra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma of the liver. Combination Gem/Cis with DEBIRI is safe, and leads to significant improvement in downsizing to resection, improved progression-free survival, and overall survival.
