TNT with short-course radiotherapy (5×5 Gy) followed by CAPOX/FOLFOX achieved excellent local and distant control in advanced rectal cancer, possibly driven by optimized surgical margins

🎯 Combining ctDNA with pathological risk stratified patients markedly, with 3-year recurrence ranging from 82% (high-risk + ctDNA+) to 7% (low-risk + ctDNA−).
🚀 These findings support ctDNA as a powerful tool to personalize adjuvant treatment and risk stratification in colon cancer.
📊 In the PROVENC3 prospective study (n=209), 13% had detectable ctDNA after surgery, which was strongly associated with worse outcomes (HR 6.2 for recurrence). ctDNA positivity after adjuvant chemotherapy further increased risk (HR 7.9).

🎯 Take-home: OEH offers superior durability, while THD may reduce short-term pain at the cost of higher failure and reoperation rates.
⚖️ Both techniques improved symptoms and QoL, but OEH was more effective overall.
💥 OEH caused more early postoperative pain and longer recovery (21 vs 14 days; P=0.010).
🧪 Single-centre RCT (n=50) comparing open excisional haemorrhoidectomy (OEH) vs transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialization (THD).
📊 Clinical failure was much higher with THD (61% vs 8%; P<0.001), with all reoperations occurring in the THD group.

🏃♂️Multimodal prehabilitation, when implemented hospital-wide, did not reduce postoperative complications or length of stay in a real-world cohort
These findings suggest that prehabilitation should be targeted to high-risk patients rather than applied universally

🌐 Major disparities: high-income countries consistently outperform LMICs
📉 Many modelled estimates lack transparency and validation
🏠Global surgical system monitoring is fragmented and incomplete. Without standardized, routine data collection, progress toward 2030 goals cannot be reliably tracked
