T cells are important for controlling ovarian cancer (OC). We previously demonstrated that combinatorial use of a personalized whole-tumor lysate-pulsed dendritic cell vaccine (OCDC), bevacizumab (Bev), and cyclophosphamide (Cy) elicited neoantigen-specific T cells and prolonged OC survival. Here, we hypothesize that adding acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and low-dose interleukin (IL)-2 would increase the vaccine efficacy in a recurrent advanced OC phase I trial (NCT01132014).

Article Synopsis
  • A survey commissioned by the American College of Radiology aimed to understand the opinions of radiology department chairs on teaching ultrasound to medical students, with a response rate of 30%.
  • The findings revealed that while 76% of respondents included ultrasound in the curriculum, radiology's involvement was notably low in preclinical years (6.4%), but more substantial during clinical years (51.7% overall, 82.9% for electives).
  • Key challenges identified for expanding ultrasound education include limited curriculum time (55.6%), insufficient faculty (48.2%), and a lack of resources and institutional support (40.7%).

However, availability of structured training programs during medical school is lagging behind and many physicians still acquire all their ultrasound skills during postgraduate training.There is wide variation in medical student ultrasound education worldwide.
