Raising awareness of alcohol as a modifiable risk factor for breast cancer: A randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of accessing an interactive website with a non-interactive website.

Background: Alcohol consumption is a potentially modifiable risk factor for breast cancer (BC). Reducing alcohol consumption within the daily amount at low-risk for alcohol-related consequences (daily alcohol threshold) may contribute to preventing BC new cases. However, most women are unaware of risk factors for BC, the daily alcohol threshold, and how to measure alcohol use.

Healthcare students are faced with the issue of the rights of people with disabilities and the quality of services: Are we training future healthcare workers who overemphasize technology?

This research describes incorporating the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in training students at an Italian university. It also describes the perception of students on the rights of people with disabilities and the quality of services using the questionnaire the Well-Being at Work and Respect Right (WWRR), the objective is to compare the responses of students from the faculty of health sciences and health professionals human rights respect, organizational well-being, and job satisfaction in healthcare environments method: Cross-sectional study the data obtained were analyzed using the ANOVA test and Chi-SQUARE test results: University students have little recognition of the professional roles for the social and labor inclusion of users of health services, which promotes rethinking the type of training they receive conclusions: the findings show the need to incorporate in a more detailed way the principles of the CRPD in university training plans that promote an emphasis on disabilities based on human rights, despite the fact that the perception by students is optimistic in relation to respect for the rights of users in health services where they have done their training or practices, these results indicate a reevaluation of university training that gives a balance between technical skills but with an emphasis on human rights and social inclusion in health services.

Cancer is not a guest.

In a recent article titled "Embracing Cancer Complexity: Hallmarks of Systemic Disease" published in Cell, Swaton et al. propose the idea of cancer as a guest that develops within a host. They discuss the possible causes and events of neoplastic cell dysregulations within an organism, highlighting events such as cachexia and thrombosis.

Leptin as a surrogate immune-metabolic marker to predict impact of anti-cachectic therapy: results of a prospective randomized trial in multiple solid tumors.

Description Of The Work: Leptin is a reliable predictive and surrogate marker of the efficacy of multitargeted treatment of cancer cachexia.

Purpose: To the best of our knowledge, no study has assessed the predictive role of biomarkers in establishing the effectiveness of anti-cachectic treatment, which remains a complex issue. Herein, we aimed to find a marker that can detect early response to anti-cachectic treatment.

Early taxane exposure and neurotoxicity in breast cancer patients.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most diagnosed tumor and a leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Taxanes are the most used chemotherapeutic agents and are strictly connected to neurotoxicity. Taxane-induced neuropathy (TIN) significantly impacts patients' quality of life (QOL).
