Long-term outcomes of hemithyroidectomy in unexpected hereditary medullary thyroid cancer: a nationwide observational study

Total thyroidectomy (TT) is the standard surgical approach for hereditary medullary thyroid cancer (hMTC). However, it is not rare in clinical practice for patients with hMTC to initially undergo hemithyroidectomy (HT) because the hereditary nature of the disease is not recognize...

CACA guidelines for the management of adult cancer pain

Abstract Cancer pain, one of the most prevalent and distressing symptoms in cancer patients, is closely associated with cancer diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, quality of life, and survival outcomes. Effective cancer pain management requires multidisciplinary collaborative a...

Integrating a Ripple Filter into Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy for Breast Cancer: from Dosimetric Feasibility to Acute Toxicity Assessment

Pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy (PT) offers superior dosimetric advantages for breast cancer treatment. However, synchrotron-based facilities frequently encounter throughput limitations due to slow energy layer switching, particularly problematic for superficial targets...

Biomarker-Stratified Phase II Trial of Trastuzumab Rezetecan in Advanced Salivary Gland Carcinoma Across Cohorts With High and Low Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Expression

PURPOSE Systemic treatment options for advanced salivary gland carcinoma (SGC) are limited, and prospective data for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–directed therapy remain sparse, particularly in HER2-low disease. We evaluated trastuzumab rezetecan (SHR-A1811), a...

From predictive model to clinical application: interpretable prediction of metachronous liver metastasis in colorectal cancer

Metachronous liver metastasis (MLM) after curative surgery is a major determinant of poor prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC), yet existing approaches based on clinicopathological indicators or imaging alone have limited predictive performance and clinical applicability. This re...

Clinicopathologic and prognostic value of HER2 alterations in non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract Background Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 ( HER2 ) alterations represent emerging therapeutic targets in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the clinicopathological and prognostic values of HER2 mutations, amplification, and over expression remain poor...

Training experience, perceived needs, and preferences for epidemiological investigation and risk assessment training among infection prevention and control practitioners in Shanghai

Infection prevention and control practitioners (IPCPs) play a crucial role in managing infectious diseases within hospitals. In this study, we aim to assess the training experience, perceived training needs, and training preferences of IPCPs in Shanghai regarding epidemiological...

Cancer of unknown primary: the evolution of tissue of origin identification in the artificial intelligence era

Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) presents substantial diagnostic and therapeutic challenges owing to its heterogeneous nature and the absence of an identifiable primary tumor site. This review provides a structured search of the pathogenesis, epidemiological characteristics, and l...

Benchmarking RNA-seq with the Quartet and MAQC reference materials to establish best practices for accurate alternative splicing analysis

Previous limited characterization of short-read RNA-seq (srRNA-seq) accuracy in alternative splicing (AS) analysis due to methodological diversity and lack of reference standards, has left unclear how to achieve optimal performance—an issue increasingly critical with the rise of...

BCL9 inhibition promotes fibroblast lipogenesis by regulating macrophage–fibroblast interactions to attenuate pulmonary fibrosis

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease with an urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. M2 macrophage-derived TGF-β1 promotes fibroblast myogenesis, contributing to IPF pathogenesis. Targeting macrophage polarization and fibr...
