Background: Metastatic spread is characterized by considerable heterogeneity in most cancers. With increasing treatment options for patients with metastatic disease, there is a need for insight into metastatic patterns of spread in breast cancer patients using large-scale studies.
Methods: Records of 2622 metastatic breast cancer patients who underwent autopsy (1974-2010) were retrieved from the nationwide Dutch pathology databank (PALGA).
Article Synopsis
- Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) is a type of cancer where doctors can't find where it started in the body.
- Researchers looked into possible risk factors for CUP by reviewing many studies and found that smoking may increase the risk.
- However, they didn't find enough evidence to link other factors like alcohol, diabetes, family history of cancer, or lifestyle choices to CUP specifically.
Background: Although the incidence of Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) is estimated to be 1-2 % of all cancers worldwide, no international standards for diagnostic workup are yet established. Such an international guideline would facilitate international comparison, provide adequate incidence and survival rates, and ultimately improve care of patients with CUP.
Methods: Participants for a four round modified Delphi study were selected via a CUP literature search in PubMed and an international network of cancer researchers.
. This study aimed to investigate the effect of bilateral transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the electroencephalography (EEG) amplitude and coherence in male patients with opioid use disorder (OUD), who were under methadone therapy. It compares the effects of active versus sham tDCS.
