In Brief
In this prospective, longitudinal cohort study with 659 acromegaly patients, the authors investigated the immediate and long-term endocrine outcomes after initial transsphenoidal surgery based on the strict 2010 remission criteria, analyzed the clinical determinants, and explored the patterns of outcome changes during a long follow-up (median 51 months). This study will assist in informing patient consultations on possible treatment outcomes and planning for individualized adjuvant treatments in advance.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate an updated prediction model for survival estimation in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type glioblastoma. The study found that individualized estimates of survival time can be obtained with reasonable accuracy from the updated prediction model. The different tools from this study, including a user-friendly web application, can be used pre- and postoperatively by health care professionals to explain the anticipated outcome of treatment.

This project set out to determine the socioeconomic correlates with the neurosurgical workforce in the US. Key findings include greater average distances to access neurosurgical care for Hispanic and Native American populations. Methods to reduce these disparities are still to be determined.

In Brief
Ganglioneuromas are rare, benign, neurogenic tumors that arise de novo from the sympathetic plexus or from dedifferentiated neuroblastoma. This case series describes the outcomes of 15 paraspinal paragangliomas operated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center over a 19-year period. One patient presented with a catecholamine-secreting tumor. Surgical approaches were dictated by tumor anatomy. Gross-total resection is curative, but even those without complete tumor resection demonstrated excellent tumor control at a median follow-up of 68 months.
