Background: Vasa vasorum (VVs) is a Latin word representing vessels of vessels. VVs are usually found on the adventitia of the parent vessel and infrequently reach the media and intima, depending on the size and type of the parent vessels and physiological and pathological conditions. The VVs include arteries, capillaries, veins, and lymphatic vessels, involving the oxygenation and nourishment of the vessel's wall to sustain its healthy state.

Article Synopsis
  • EGFR-TKIs like afatinib and osimertinib are effective for treating non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutations, but high PD-L1 levels may lead to poorer responses.
  • A study analyzed 177 patients with PD-L1-positive EGFR-mutant NSCLC to compare the effectiveness of afatinib versus osimertinib.
  • The findings indicated no significant difference in progression risk or overall survival between the two treatments, suggesting similar effectiveness for patients with this specific cancer profile.

In the preoperative evaluation, it was revealed that essential thrombocythemia existed in the background. Therefore, medical treatment with antithrombotic agents in conjunction with hydroxycarbamide for essential thrombocythemia was initiated, but the thrombus was not dissolved by three weeks.
