Implementing W&W across high-volume-robust organ preservation and survival rates, and stable regrowth/metastasis rates across cohorts
More recent cohorts showed increased use of
TME for persistent residual disease, likely reflecting broader inclusion of near-complete responders
November 15, 2025 at 10:12 AM
Local regrowth: 3-year incidence of 23%; organ preservation: 3-year rate reported; distant metastases: 3-year rate reported; overall survival: 97% at 3 years.
November 15, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Registry analysis (2004–2022); three chronological cohorts compared. Outcomes include local regrowth, distant metastases, overall survival, and organ preservation.

Assess nationwide Watch-and-Wait (W&W) for rectal cancer across 18 high-volume Dutch hospitals in patients displaying a good response after (chemo)radiotherapy.

🥤 Post-op care focuses on tailored maintenance (≤2–2.5 L/day), early oral intake, and aiming for near-zero or negative fluid balance to reduce complications

⚖️ Intraoperatively, it advocates balanced crystalloids over 0.9% saline, low-rate background infusions, and goal-directed boluses to avoid salt–water overload
🩸 For bleeding, early 1:1:1 blood product transfusion is advised

IV fluids are drugs — both deficit and overload worsen outcomes, yet perioperative prescribing is often overlooked and delegated to juniors
🩺 The paper stresses ABCDE assessment and clear indication (resuscitation, replacement, maintenance), plus better pre-op hydration with “SipTilSend”

Sex-specific considerations may be necessary when monitoring and managing patients with small AAA.

These data suggest that, within the small-AAA range, women experience faster aneurysm expansion and differ in baseline risk factor profiles, including less frequent use of cardioprotective medication and a more frequent family history.
November 12, 2025 at 8:50 AM
Aneurysm growth: higher in women (0.21 vs 0.16 cm/year); Medication use (statins, antiplatelets): ↓ in women; Family history of AAA: ↑ in women.
November 12, 2025 at 8:50 AM
Retrospective cohort study using N-TA3CT RCT data; baseline AAA ≤4.5 cm and at least one follow-up CT; outcomes include growth rate, patient characteristics, safety/adverse events, and clinical outcomes.
November 12, 2025 at 8:49 AM
Investigate sex differences in characteristics, aneurysm growth, and outcomes among adults with small AAA in N-TA3 clinical trial (secondary analysis).
