Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of two different schedules of modern image-guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) in patients underwent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) for locally advanced cervical cancer treated (LACC) METHODS AND MATERIALS: Data from medical records of all consecutive patients with histologically proven cervical cancer (FIGO 2018 stage IB-IVA) treated by HDR-BT after CCRT at our institution between 2016 and 2021 were reviewed.

Results: Two hundred and 8 patients with LACC FIGO 2018 stages (IB 20.7%; II 26.

Biscriptuality is the ability to write in two different scripts. Achieving handwriting expertise in a single script demands years of intensive practice, and these demands are even stronger when two scripts must be mastered. Biscriptuality could thus impact the cognitive and motor skills underlying graphomotor control.

Article Synopsis
  • Elderly AML patients (60-75 years) with poor-risk cytogenetics typically have poor outcomes with intensive chemotherapy, but the effectiveness of Venetoclax (VEN) combined with other treatments is being studied.
  • A study at Institut Paoli Calmettes involved comparing 26 patients treated with VEN to a historical cohort of 90 patients treated with intensive chemotherapy, focusing on treatment response and overall survival rates.
  • The findings suggested that VEN showed promising results, with a 69% composite response rate and a median overall survival of 7.9 months, making it a potential alternative to intensive chemotherapy for high-risk elderly patients.

Even though male breast cancer (MBC) risk encompasses both genetic and environmental aetiologies, the primary risk factor is a germline pathogenic variant (PV) or likely pathogenic variant (LPV) in and/or genes. To identify new potential MBC-specific predisposition genes, we sequenced a panel of 585 carcinogenesis genes in an MBC cohort without PV/LPV. We identified 14 genes carrying rare PVs/LPVs in the MBC population versus noncancer non-Finnish European men, predominantly coding for DNA repair and maintenance of genomic stability proteins.

Background: IDH mutant and 1p/19q codeleted oligodendrogliomas are the gliomas associated with the best prognosis. However, despite their sensitivity to treatment, patient survival remains heterogeneous. We aimed to identify gene expressions associated with response to treatment from a national cohort of patients with oligodendrogliomas, all treated with radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy.
