Article Synopsis
- Researchers examined the effectiveness of corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) in detecting small nerve fiber loss in patients with chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (CIAP) compared to those with painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) and healthy controls.
- The study found that while patients with CIAP and PDN had fewer nerve fibers in their skin compared to healthy individuals, CCM results showed no significant differences in corneal nerve parameters for CIAP patients.
- Ultimately, the findings suggest that CCM is not a reliable method for identifying small nerve fiber loss in patients with CIAP, unlike its use in diagnosing PDN.
A diagnosis of brain metastasis (BM) significantly affects quality of life in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC). Although systemic treatments have shown efficacy in mRCC, active surveillance (AS) is still commonly used in clinical practice. In this single-center cohort study, we assessed the impact of different initial treatment strategies for metastatic RCC (mRCC) on the development of BM.
