- * In the trial with 30 patients, the results showed a median progression-free survival of 4.1 months and an overall survival of 7.4 months, though the primary survival endpoint was not achieved.
- * Most patients tolerated the treatment well, with a notable 24-month survival rate of 23.3%, which was higher than previously reported for this combination.
Olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC), and sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma (SNEC) are rare malignancies arising from the sinonasal tract with limited therapeutic options. The expression of the somatostatin receptor 2 gene (), which is expressed in other neuroendocrine neoplasms and is therapeutically actionable, has been reported in these tumors. Here, we analyzed gene expression and its associations with genomic features, established biomarkers predicting of immune response, and the tumor immune microenvironment in a cohort of ONB, SNUC, and SNEC tumor samples (26, 13, and 8 samples, respectively) from a real-world database.

- The breeding of wild birds as pets in Paraíba is influenced by cultural and socioeconomic factors, as well as the declining status of the species.
- Data was collected from local breeders about their practices and the commercialization aspects of bird breeding, focusing on three main species known for their singing and use in bird fighting.
- The study highlights the complexity of captive breeding in terms of management practices and behavioral factors, indicating a need for further research to assess the impact of these practices on bird genetics through artificial selection.
