Prediagnostic circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and prostate cancer-specific survival: a collaborative pooled analysis of 13 prospective studies

Abstract Background Previous research suggests higher risk of prostate cancer diagnosis in men with high vitamin D serology, but there are limited data related to prostate cancer survival. In this study, we examine the associations between prediagnostic circulating levels of 25-h...

Malnutrition Severity, Morphofunctional Assessment, and Survival in Patients with Lung Cancer: A Multicentre Prospective Cohort Study

PURPOSE: Malnutrition is common in lung cancer and may contribute to impaired functional status and poor survival. This study evaluated the association between GLIM-defined malnutrition, morphofunctional nutritional parameters, and one-year mortality in patients with lung cancer....

Prospective analysis of pre-diagnostic untargeted plasma metabolomics and risk of triple-negative breast cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 10–15% of newly diagnosed breast cancer, and its aetiology is poorly understood compared to other breast cancer subtypes. We applied untargeted metabolomics to identify novel biological pathways associated with TNBC risk and poten...

Early evaluation of the WCT EVI MAP project: implementation, challenges, and emerging impact on evidence-based tumour classification

<ns5:p>Background The WHO Classification of Tumours (WCT) underpins cancer diagnosis globally, but the evidence-base used to inform tumour classification has never been systematically appraised. The WCT EVI MAP project was designed to address this need by developing a structured,...

Association between risk of eating disorders and an unhealthy lifestyle score in university students: uniHcos project

Introduction The first year of university is a critical period for the consolidation of lifestyle habits and has been associated with an increased risk of developing eating disorders (EDs). This study aimed to assess the prevalence of ED risk among first-year Spanish university s...

Non-communicable disease care delivered by emergency medical teams during the Gaza Health Response in 2024–2025: an observational analysis of WHO Minimum Data Set Reports

The objective is to describe patterns of noncommunicable disease (NCD) service delivery and the operational roles of the different Emergency Medical Team (EMT) types-Type1 mobile (outpatient mobile primary care), Type1 fixed (outpatient static primary care), and Type2 (inpatient...

MassCas tabletop game as a training tool in mass casualty incidents for undergraduate medical students: a quasi-experimental study with knowledge assessment at 6-month follow-up

Mass casualty incidents (MCI) require a coordinated prehospital response from multiple healthcare teams. Undergraduate medical students rarely receive systematic MCI training, and some of the methods that have shown good results so far, full-scale simulations and extended reality...
