🔍 A new study in Annals of Surgical Oncology identifies the C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio (CRP/ALB) as a key independent risk factor for recurrence and survival in older patients undergoing curative resection for stage I–III colorectal cancer. The research by Bekki et al. highlights that while tumor factors drive prognosis in younger patients, preoperative status plays a more critical role in those aged 70 and older.

A recent study published in Annals of Surgical Oncology sheds light on the clinicopathological predictors of positive resection margins in breast-conserving surgery. The research, led by Chauhan et al., highlights the significant impact of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) on the likelihood of a positive margin in patients undergoing surgery for invasive breast cancer. Notably, the study found that the presence of DCIS increases the relative risk of an involved margin by over eightfold compared to pure invasive breast cancer.
