Article Synopsis
- Tumor stiffness is being recognized as a new diagnostic parameter, separate from traditional pathological assessments.
- Researchers developed a laser resonance frequency analysis (L-RFA) method that measures stiffness differences between tumor and normal tissues, making it an effective tool for diagnosing gastric cancer.
- Tests showed clear correlations in stiffness measurements, indicating that L-RFA can distinguish between tumor and normal tissue with significant accuracy, highlighting its potential as a noninvasive diagnostic approach.
Purpose: Patients with glioblastomas (GBMs) have poor prognosis despite various treatments; therefore, attention should be paid to maintaining the quality of survival. Neurocognitive deficits can affect the quality of life (QOL) in patients with GBM. Most studies concerning QOL and neurocognitive functions have demonstrated a relationship between QOL and self-reported neurocognitive decline, although this method does not accurately reflect damaged functional domains.

However, this dose may increase the risk of adverse events, including infertility, in some patients.
