    Abstract Objective: To determine trends in internet search volume for elective surgery terms during the first peak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic using Google Trends data.
    Background: Postponement of much-needed elective and urgent oncologic surgeries takes a toll on patients and the health care system. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a decline in elective surgery volume, partially due to the cancellation of elective surgeries at the start of the pandemic.
    Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of internet search volume trends for elective surgery terms during the first peak of the COVID-19 pandemic using Google Trends data and compared to a control group of terms representing common urgent and oncologic surgeries.
    Results: Search volume for elective surgery terms ("knee replacement," "spinal fusion," "hip replacement," "laminectomy," "cataract surgery") revealed a decrease of up to 54% compared to the prepandemic period, a significantly greater decrease than search volume for urgent and oncologic surgery terms ("C-section," "cholecystectomy," "CABG," "colectomy," "lobectomy," and "mastectomy").
    Conclusions: The first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic led to sharp declines in search volume for essential elective surgical procedures, which may have been partially due to the cancellation of elective surgeries, but patient factors such as a temporary decline in interest in elective surgery might have also played a role. Attention to internet search volume may be used during future public health crises to monitor public engagement and interest in important health topics, including preventive health measures such as cancer screening.

    Abstract Immunotherapy has revolutionized the contemporary oncology landscape, with durable responses possible across a range of cancer types. However, the majority of cancer patients do not respond to immunotherapy due to numerous immunosuppressive barriers. Efforts to overcome these barriers and increase systemic immunotherapy efficacy have sparked interest in the local intratumoral delivery of immune stimulants to activate the local immune response and subsequently drive systemic tumor immunity. While clinical evaluation of many therapeutic candidates is ongoing, development is hindered by a lack of imaging confirmation of local delivery, insufficient intratumoral drug distribution, and a need for repeated injections. The use of polymeric drug delivery systems, which have been widely used as platforms for both image guidance and controlled drug release, holds promise for delivery of intratumoral immunoadjuvants and the development of an in situ cancer vaccine for patients with metastatic cancer. In this review, we explore the current state of the field for intratumoral delivery and methods for optimizing controlled drug release, as well as practical considerations for drug delivery design to be optimized for clinical image guided delivery particularly by CT and ultrasound.

    Abstract Although ablations are performed with conscious sedation or general anesthesia, microwave ablations can be painful post procedure. Newer analgesic modalities, including regional blocks, have promoted the proliferation of less invasive anesthesia care for ablative procedures. This study evaluates whether bilateral paravertebral blocks reduce the need for additional analgesics in comparison to unilateral blocks in microwave ablations. In this retrospective study, individuals undergoing microwave ablation who underwent unilateral versus bilateral nerve blocks at a single institution from 2017 to 2019 were compared. Categorical variables were analyzed using Pearson's chi-squared tests. Comparisons of means were completed using multiple T-tests corrected using the Holm-Sidak method with α = 0.05. Regression modeling was used to identify factors related to increased MME (milligram morphine equivalent) usage and post-procedure admission rates. A total of 106 patients undergoing 112 liver MWA procedures were included in this analysis, with patients receiving either a bilateral or unilateral block. Pre-procedural characteristics demonstrated no significant differences in age or gender. Bilateral blocks were associated with decreased usage of gabapentin (14% vs. 0%, p = 0.01) and a lower rate of post-procedure admissions (OR 0.23, p = 0.003). Therefore, when using paravertebral blocks, bilateral blocks are superior to unilateral blocks, as demonstrated by decreased rates of hospital admission and reduced use of systemic neuropathic pain medication. Additionally, reducing post-procedural MME may reduce the rate of admission to the hospital.
