Background And Objective: The role of urine cytology during follow-up for low-grade (LG) non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is not well established, although cytology has low sensitivity in detecting LG recurrences. Our study aims to evaluate the impact of urine cytology as a complementary method to cystoscopy during follow-up for LG NMIBC.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with primary LG TaT1 bladder cancer (BC) between 2010 and 2020 were included.
Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic cancer is a challenging disease with a poor outlook and significant symptoms, requiring a collaborative approach in healthcare and research for better patient outcomes.
- The Canadian National Pancreas Conference (NPC) took place in November 2023, bringing together healthcare providers and researchers to focus on enhancing the prognosis and quality of life for pancreatic cancer patients.
- The conference covered various topics, including diagnosis, palliative care, and current management strategies, with reviews of the sessions offered in relation to existing research.
Background: Mental health outcomes in healthcare workers (HCWs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have been poorly explored during COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim was to carry out a cross-sectional study of the prevalence of mental health symptoms in HCWs in Colombia.
Methods: A cross-sectional web-survey study was performed during the COVID-19 pandemic mid-2021 including HCWs in two hospitals in Colombia.
(1) Background: Genomic medicine harbors the real potential to improve the health and healthcare journey of patients, care provider experiences, and improve the health system efficiency-even reducing healthcare costs. There is expected to be an exponential growth in medically necessary new genome-based tests and test approaches in the coming years. Testing can also create scientific research and commercial opportunities beyond healthcare decision making.
