Proactive surgical treatment is a viable strategy for patients aged 75 with resectable esophageal cancer, leading to a favorable long-term prognosis. In addition, the fast-track recovery protocol, eliminating the need for tubes and fasting, is both safe and readily applicable to elderly patients. Active surgical treatment proves beneficial for 75-year-old patients having resectable esophageal cancer, resulting in long-term survival. Furthermore, the no-tube, no-fasting fast-track recovery protocol is both safe and viable for elderly patients. Worldwide, ovarian cancer is the seventh most frequent cancer among women, yet it remains the deadliest gynecological malignancy. This grim reality is exacerbated by the absence of reliable screening procedures for early detection and the often late emergence of symptoms. Frequently, the lack of early-onset symptoms leads to diagnosis delays until the disease has progressed significantly, often culminating in peritoneal involvement. Though ovarian cancer displays a heterogeneous histopathological picture, the therapeutic approach for advanced tumors generally combines chemotherapy and surgical cytoreduction. While CAR T-cell therapy has demonstrated efficacy in treating hematological malignancies, its application to solid tumors presents an unresolved challenge. Outcomes are less satisfactory due to the limited ability of CAR T cells to target the tumor site, the protective characteristics of the tumor microenvironment, and the heterogeneity of surface antigens on tumor cells. In view of these results, CAR T-cells are still being considered as a potential treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal and gastric origin. Local CAR T-cell treatment delivered intraperitoneally surpasses systemic treatment, evidenced by enhanced tumor shrinkage, more durable treatment effects, decreased risk of local tumor recurrence and distant disease, and fewer systemic adverse reactions. This article examines the use of CAR T-cells in treating ovarian cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis originating from ovarian cancer. Among a select group of patients, intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) offers an alternative to the standard external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) treatment, achieving comparable breast cancer control. Post-IORT, patients generally do not require additional external beam radiation therapy, thereby averting the travel to and from the radiotherapy center that would otherwise be necessary in the ensuing weeks. The application of EBRT demonstrates a connection with a higher risk of mortality from cancers other than breast cancer, a decrease in the quality of aesthetic results, and an extended travel time for patients, adding emissions from travel and prolonged time in the hospital. pim signaling Predictably, EBRT's implementation is associated with a noticeably poorer quality of life outcome than IORT. Patients with coexisting health conditions or clinical impairments are expected to experience consequences from the daily necessity of radiotherapy. Patients undergoing pre-operative assessment should be given the opportunity to discuss IORT options. In this paper, we examine a case of IORT and the subsequent follow-up in a functionally impaired patient. The study of IORT's impact on quality of life further validates its application for selected breast cancer patients with existing health conditions or impairments. Complications from anterior resection for rectal cancer include anastomotic leakage, a serious issue. The employment of transanal drainage tubes (TDT) during surgery to prevent AL is a matter of significant controversy. For this reason, a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was carried out to evaluate the capability of TDT to decrease AL. From PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, relevant data and studies published between the start of publication and November 1st, 2022, were col
