Background & Aims: Significant progress has been made in the management of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in recent years. In this population-based study, we aimed to compare incidence, therapeutic strategies, and survival outcomes of PDAC patients in France over a decade.
Methods: This study was performed using a nationwide French database.
Article Synopsis
- PARP inhibitors can help breast cancer patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations, affecting their chances of survival during treatment, necessitating a reassessment of who should be tested for these mutations.
- The study analyzed the occurrence of these mutations in breast cancer patients and unaffected individuals, revealing significant rates of gene carriage in both groups.
- Findings showed that about 1.66% of breast cancer patients had gBRCA1, while 1.71% had gBRCA2, with a higher mutation frequency in ER- tumors compared to ER+ tumors.
Objective: Multimorbidity is frequent in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and could interfere with the therapeutic response. The aim of this study was to evaluate multimorbidity in the French cohort of early arthritis, the ESPOIR cohort, and its possible impact on the therapeutic response.
Methods: We included patients fulfilling 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria for RA.
Purpose: To adapt the Moorong Self-Efficacy Scale (MSES) in the French language and determine its psychometric proprieties.
Materials And Methods: After a back-translation process, an expert committee was solicited to develop the French Self Efficacy Scale, thanks to a Delphi method, regarding theoretical framework and concepts explored. A total of 201 patients with SCI were included to explore internal consistency, internal and external structure validity assessed with the General Self-Efficacy scale, MOS Health Survey Short-Form, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Way of Coping Check-list, Perceived Stress Scale, Social Support Questionnaire, Self-Esteem questionnaire, and Satisfaction With Life Scale.
