To evaluate the relationship between liver metastasis volume and survival in colorectal cancer patients using the volumetric measurement method. 114 colorectal cancer patients with isolated liver metastases were included in the study. Liver tumor volume, total liver volume were calculated from the patients images at the time of diagnosis.

Methods: This retrospective single-center study involved an analysis of 938 patients with localized or locally advanced breast cancer who underwent BRCA variation testing. The patients were divided into three groups: 757 were without BRCA variation, 64 were with BRCA1 variation, and 117 were with BRCA2 variation.
Article Synopsis
- - Gallbladder and biliary tract tumors are rare but often deadly, and while systemic chemotherapy is recommended for patients with stages that cannot be surgically removed, standard treatment options are still lacking due to limited studies in this area.
- - The study aims to assess the prognostic effectiveness of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), which combines albumin and lymphocyte levels to reflect a cancer patient's health status, in patients with unresectable/metastatic gallbladder and biliary tract cancers.
- - Results showed that a PNI score below 44 was linked to shorter overall survival, particularly in patients receiving chemotherapy, with a median survival of 8.93 months for those with low PNI compared to 12.58
Our study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) in predicting immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in solid tumor patients receiving immunotherapy. The CCI score at the time of initiation of immunotherapy was calculated in 164 solid tumor patients receiving immunotherapy and the correlation between the CCI score and immune toxicity was evaluated. A significant relationship was found between CCI score and irAEs in lung cancer and renal cell cancer patients.
