Background: Concurrent chemoradiation is the standard treatment for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We conducted a phase II study to explore the effect of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3-DCRT) alone for patients with locally advanced esophageal SCC. This study aimed to analyze the long-term survival outcomes.

However, neurotoxicity remains a complication. In addition to protecting the hippocampus from irradiation to preserve cognitive function, it is also critical to avoid irradiating the hypothalamic-pituitary axis to preserve endocrine and immune function.

- Tea is a globally popular beverage made from Camellia sinensis, with many wild relatives found in Southwest China.
- The study used high-throughput sequencing to analyze 15,444 genomic SNPs from various cultivated and wild tea plants, revealing six distinct genetic clusters that correspond to different species and varieties.
- Findings indicated that cultivated tea plants have higher genetic diversity than wild ones, except for a specific semi-wild variety, and identified genes under selective pressure during tea domestication, contributing to our understanding of tea plant genetics.
