Latest Consensus conference statement following the most recent European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO) meeting earlier this year. 'Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) has emerged as an innovative technique with promising applications in various surgical specialties. However, clinical implementation is hampered by limited availability of evidence-based reference work supporting the translation towards standard-of-care use in surgical practice. Therefore, we developed a consensus statement on current applications of FGS.' #consensus #fgs #fluorescenceguidedsurgery #standardofcare #icg #verdye #diagnosticgreen Michael Achiam Luigi Boni Ronan Cahill Manish Chand MD MBA PhD Michele Diana MD, PhD, MBA Sylvain Gioux Schelto Kruijff Joost van der Vorst Raúl Rosenthal Karol Polom Alex Vahrmeijer Sven Mieog Link to article below;

🔍 Laparoscopic vs. Robotic-Assisted Surgery in Kidney Cancer Treatment: Understanding the Differences 🔍 🏥 When it comes to kidney cancer treatment, surgical approaches like laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries offer advanced options. Laparoscopic surgery involves small incisions through which a camera and surgical instruments are inserted to remove the tumor. It's minimally invasive, with quicker recovery times and less scarring compared to traditional open surgery. 🤖 On the other hand, robotic-assisted surgery takes laparoscopy a step further by using robotic arms controlled by the surgeon. This provides enhanced precision, dexterity, and visualization, making it suitable for complex procedures. Patients often experience less pain and blood loss, along with shorter hospital stays. 💡 Understanding the differences between these approaches is crucial for patients and their families. While both techniques aim to achieve the same outcome – removing the cancerous tumor – the method of execution varies. Factors like tumor size, location, and patient health may influence the choice of surgery. 👨⚕️ Consultation with a urologist or oncologist is essential to determine the most suitable approach based on individual circumstances. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure the best possible outcome with minimal discomfort and swift recovery for patients undergoing kidney cancer treatment. #KidneyCancerAwareness #SurgicalOptions #LaparoscopicSurgery #RoboticAssistedSurgery

A recent study found that microwave ablation is a more effective treatment option for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) than surgery. PTC is the most common type of thyroid cancer and often presents with multifocality. While surgical resection is a common treatment for multifocal PTC, it can have negative side effects such as scarring, the need for lifelong hormone replacement, and potential complications. Microwave ablation resulted in higher progression-free survival rates and fewer complications compared to surgery, making it a promising alternative treatment option. #microwaveablation #thyroidcancer #papillarythyroidcarcinoma #interventionalradiology #thyroidcancertreatment https://lnkd.in/dbtyEfGK

Director of Nuclear Medicine and Theranostics Department - IEO European Institute of Oncology IRCCS, Milan. Department of Oncology and Hemato-Oncology, University of Milan.
The future of surgery relies on innovation and new technologies. Thanks to the collaboration within IEO Istituto Europeo di Oncologia, INFN and Sapienza Università di Roma we tested for the first time a new-generation probe able to detect, during surgery, the radiation (positrons) emitted by cancer-specific radiopharmaceuticals in patients affected by NeuroEndocrine Tumor (NET). Radio-guided surgery with novel beta-probes has the potential to improve radical resection rates and surgeons accuracy in NETs.

Exciting Advances in Kidney Cancer Surgery: Empowering Patients with New Options Patients facing kidney cancer now have access to groundbreaking advancements in surgical management, offering renewed hope and improved outcomes. One such innovation is nephron-sparing surgery, which aims to remove cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with early-stage kidney cancer or those with only one functional kidney. Another exciting aspect is the emergence of minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgeries, which offer smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. These techniques allow surgeons to precisely target cancerous tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy structures. Moreover, the integration of imaging technologies like MRI and CT scans enables surgeons to accurately assess tumor size, location, and extent, guiding personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. By staying informed about these new aspects of surgical management, patients can actively participate in their treatment decisions and collaborate with their healthcare team to achieve the best possible outcomes. Empowering patients with knowledge about these advancements fosters hope, confidence, and optimism on their journey towards overcoming kidney cancer. #kidney #Kidneysurgery #Surgery #story
