Purpose: Multiple studies have demonstrated that electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) improve overall survival and quality of life in cancer care. However, there are no specific prospective data on remote ePRO monitoring in the older population, although they represent a significant proportion of patients with cancer.

Patients And Methods: From February 2021 to April 2022, patients age 75 years and older under active anticancer treatment were consecutively recruited in six institutions.

Unlabelled: Advanced age in patients with colorectal cancer is a factor of poor prognosis, but little is known about geriatric factors associated with survival and chemotherapy prescription in frail elderly patients. Our research sought to investigate these factors in older patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

Patients And Methods: patients aged ≥75 years, who were treated for mCRC and have had a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) due to their frailty, were included in this multicenter practice study in the Loire Valley region (France).

The following paper gives a detailed description of the oogenesis cycle for the European Plaice (), from oogonia to post-ovulatory follicle, including ovarian follicle and sizes. Noteworthy particularities were the difficulty in identifying cortical alveoli due to their very small size. Quantitative histology (stereology) on histological slides was used to determine a first size at maturity for females from the English Channel, which was found to be smaller compared to the literature (19 cm).

Background: Studies have shown the negative prognostic impact of increased time between colectomy and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in colon cancer (CC). Our aim was to investigate the role of age and non-organizational factors on access and time to AC.

Methods: All adult patients undergoing surgery for stage II or III CC in the "Région Centre-Val de Loire" in 2013, were selected.
