Article Synopsis
- The CPS+EG scoring system helps figure out which breast cancer patients might need extra treatment after chemotherapy and was mainly studied in early breast cancer patients.
- Researchers looked at how this scoring works in different types of breast cancer, especially focusing on HER2-low tumors, using data from 608 patients.
- They found that for estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancers, the CPS+EG score was helpful in predicting outcomes, but it didn't work well for estrogen receptor negative (ER-) cancers.
Aim Of The Study: To evaluate the short and long-term effects of anthracycline chemotherapy in adults using conventional echocardiography and pulsed tissue Doppler imaging (TDI).

Endobronchial brachytherapy is commonly used in the palliative management of malignant airway obstructions. In the present study, we describe the results of brachytherapy (mean dose of 18 Gy), used in combination with external beam irradiation (mean dose of 50 Gy) in 30 patients who had primary bronchogenic carcinoma of the lung. The extent of airway obstruction was determined according to symptoms and by bronchoscopy.
