8. A 12 year, 180,000 person randomised trial on eradication of Helicobacter pylori, which causes up to 90% of gastric cancers
The number of people needed to treat, to prevent one gastric cancer, was 141

The history and physical examination remain the cornerstone for evaluation of acute abdominal pain, but imaging methods have improved diagnostic precision and shortened the time to diagnosis. Read the full review on acute abdomen: nej.md/4cK1QOd

Prognostic value of total tumor volume in CRC liver metastases
@OncologyAdvance
doi.org/10.1016/j.ejca.2024.…
🔎post-hoc of CAIRO5
👉Tumor total volume, but not RECIST 1.1 is prognostic for survival outcomes
👉5-yr Os 72% for TTV of 3 mL vs 7% for TTV of 300 mL
@myESMO
⚠️Highest risk elevation of CRC associated with high-risk adenomas and serrated polyps particularly high in the first 3 years after the index colonoscopy.
📋The use of surveillance colonoscopy mitigated the risk elevation of CRC associated with high-risk polyps.

Historic surgical "I have a comment..." moment:
Richard Cattell's comment on a presentation at the Southern Surgical in 1952 in which he described what would later become known as the "Cattell-Braasch" maneuver when it was finally published in 1960, some *8 years* later. 🧐

Just published: ground-breaking study of over 23,000 RCTs in Cochrane reviews. Trials hugely underpowered for true effects. Consequently, “statistically significant” estimates seriously overestimate actual treatment effects, can’t trust them. evidence.nejm.org/doi/abs/10…
