Background: A pathological complete response (pCR) rate after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is important for the prognosis of early-stage breast cancer. The prediction of an NAC response plays a key role in managing neoadjuvant treatment.
Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of the baseline PETCT FDG (F-18 fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography) SUVmax (the maximum standardized uptake value) for pCR after NAC in early-stage breast cancer.
Effect of Ki-67 proliferation index on survival in large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the survival rates of patients with large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung, focusing on the Ki-67 proliferation index and other clinical characteristics.
- The research involved 38 patients and found that factors like age, tumor location, metastasis at diagnosis, and treatment received could impact overall survival rates, though not significantly statistically.
- It concludes that identifying specific subgroups with lower survival rates could aid in patient prognosis, but larger studies are necessary for more definitive insights.
