Background: The prognosis for patients with relapse of localized rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) remains poor, with limited evidence for optimal second-line therapy. This study describes the management and outcomes of relapsed RMS patients in France.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all nonmetastatic RMS patients enrolled in France in the RMS 2005 study who relapsed between 2006 and 2019 after achieving complete local control, defined as complete remission or stable residue ≥ 6 months after treatment completion.
Background: Early palliative care (EPC) leads to an improvement in quality of life and an unexpected survival benefit compared with oncological care for patients with metastatic lung cancer. The Early Palliative Integrated Care (EPIC) is aimed at examining whether EPC can improve overall survival in patients with metastatic upper gastrointestinal cancer.
Methods: We performed a multicentre, open-label, randomised phase-3 trial.
Professor Audrey Holland is best known for her extraordinary contributions to the field of aphasia rehabilitation; however, for those working in the field of cognitive-communication disorders (CCDs) following traumatic brain injury (TBI), Audrey made seminal contributions to the conceptualization of language disturbances following TBI, setting the scene for a new era of investigation and discovery. This article describes Audrey's contributions which redefined communication disorders following TBI as being different from aphasia, leading to discourse and everyday communication being the gold standard for CCD assessment. Incorporating Professor Holland's influences, this article describes the advances made during the past two decades including the theoretical development of frameworks to inform clinical assessment; expert consensus guidelines that support the assessment of the individual in activities relating to their family life, their friends, their work, and their relationships; the policy from an International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) perspective; advances in technology including the use of automated discourse measures; TBIBank; and main concept analysis.

Purpose: Communication can be chronically impacted by severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet there is a critical lack of research investigating communication recovery beyond 12 months postinjury with discourse measures. This longitudinal study aimed to investigate quantitative and qualitative changes in recounts produced by a group of people with severe TBI up to 2 years postinjury.
Method: A prospective observational design with an inception cohort was adopted.
Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) significantly affects social communication, highlighted by reduced use of mental state terms (MST) among individuals with TBI compared to those without.
- A study analyzed MST use in narrative retells of both groups over two years, finding that while individuals with TBI initially used fewer MSTs, this was more about the content of their stories rather than a decreased ratio of MSTs used.
- Key factors influencing MST use included the severity of the injury, educational background, and verbal reasoning skills, indicating the need for targeted social communication treatments post-TBI.
