Relationship between initial dose, dose intensity, and survival in unresectable pancreatic cancer treated with nanoliposomal irinotecan, fluorouracil, and folinic acid

Abstract While nanoliposomal irinotecan with fluorouracil and folinic acid (NFF) is a standard second-line regimen for unresectable pancreatic cancer (uPC) after gemcitabine-based therapy, the effects of initial dosing and relative dose intensity (RDI) in routine practice are unc...

Retrograde carotid fat pad flip method for carotid exposure during carotid endarterectomy

Background: Exposure of the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can be challenging in anatomically difficult cases. We present the retrograde carotid fat pad (CFP) flip method, a cranial-first, layer-oriented exposure strategy based on preserv...
