Article Synopsis
- - This study examines whether lower doses of anti-PD(L)1 agents are as effective as the standard doses for treating patients with solid tumors at a Brazilian hospital, aiming to highlight cost-effectiveness.
- - A total of 71 patients were analyzed, comparing efficacy outcomes such as clinical overall response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival between those receiving low-dose (LD) and conventional-dose (CD) treatments.
- - Findings revealed no significant differences in treatment outcomes between LD and CD groups, suggesting that lower doses could provide a more accessible treatment option worth further investigation in future randomized trials.
Introduction: The incidence of gastrointestinal disorders among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is high, despite the lack of a good correlation between endoscopic findings and symptoms. Many services thus perform upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy on kidney transplant candidates.
Objectives: This study aims to describe the alterations seen on the upper endoscopies of 96 kidney-transplant candidates seen from 2014 to 2015.
