Multidisciplinary cancer conferences (MCCs) improve patient outcomes. Our goals were to investigate the impact of a technology platform, navify® Clinical Hub for Tumor Boards (nCH) on the quality and educational value of gynecologic oncology MCCs. We conducted a prospective, mixed methods study of the gynecologic oncology MCC at a comprehensive cancer center from 2020 to 2023.

- There is evidence of a prodromal phase in pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS), marked by increased health care utilization prior to the first demyelinating event (FDE).
- In a study analyzing 37 POMS cases over two years before FDE, it was found that health care interactions increased significantly in the year prior (B) compared to the year before (A), including a notable rise in neurology-related encounters.
- The most common symptoms reported were neurological, particularly headaches, along with psychiatric and various non-neurological issues, highlighting the complexity of POMS symptoms leading up to FDE.
Background: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a recently described demyelinating disorder, and children represent about 50% of all cases. Almost half of the patients experience relapses, but very few studies have evaluated predictors of relapse risk, challenging clinical management. The study aimed to identify predictors at MOGAD onset that are associated with a relapsing course.

The aim of this pilot study was to assess the applicability of an existing validated performance assessment tool to evaluate the quality of thoracic MCCs (T-MCCs).

We present a previously healthy 16-year-old girl who presented with acute onset headaches that rapidly progressed to encephalopathy, flaccid paraparesis, lower extremity hyperreflexia, and urinary retention. Serial MRI brain and total spine imaging demonstrated evolving diffuse supratentorial leptomeningeal enhancement and holocord gray matter restricted T2 bright lesion without enhancement.
