Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) levels and the effectiveness of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
- A meta-analysis of 32 studies showed that patients with high TIL levels had a significantly higher pathologic complete response (pCR) rate (48.0%) compared to those with low TIL levels (27.7%).
- The research suggests TILs could be a useful predictor for how well TNBC patients respond to NAT, with high TIL levels consistently linked to better treatment outcomes across different NAT protocols.

Article Synopsis
- A 66-year-old male with a long history of a growing neck lump and diabetes mellitus was hospitalized due to a chronic infected giant thyroid cyst.
- Imaging revealed the cyst displaced the trachea, leading to surgical intervention where inflammatory complications were discovered, but thankfully major vessels were unharmed.
- The surgery resulted in a diagnosis of a benign thyroid cyst with chronic infection, suggesting a link between the cyst's progression and the patient's diabetes.
