The clinical implications of varying FeNO responses to anti-IL-5 biologics remain unclear. This study aims to categorise patients based on their FeNO response to anti-IL-5 biologics and evaluate the association of these categories with clinical outcomes.

The drug's activity at the target tissue could help to define the minimal effective dose to promote cancer preventive therapy. Here we present exemestane and sex hormone concentrations within breast tissue from a presurgical study of alternative exemestane schedules. Postmenopausal women candidates for breast surgery for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer were randomly assigned to exemestane 25 mg once daily (QD), 25 mg 3 times/week (TIW), or 25 mg per week (QW) for 4-6 weeks before surgery.

Mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-D) has surfaced as a predictor of prognosis and response to immune checkpoint inhibitor(s) in several cancer types, but its value in cervical cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to define the prevalence of MMR-D in cervical cancer and assess the prognostic value of MMR protein expression.
