Risk classification for non-cancer death in middle-aged cancer patients.

Introduction: Non-cancer events are important causes of competing mortality among cancer patients. However, the risk of non-cancer death and risk classification in middle-aged cancer patients is not clear. To comprehensively analyze the risk of non-cancer deaths in 24 different cancers among middle-aged patients.

Combination niraparib and abiraterone for HRR-altered metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Metastatic prostate cancer remains incurable. Though significant progress has been made in the field, the search for agents that improve outcomes for patients is ongoing. Several clinical trials have explored the benefit of combining PARP inhibitors (PARPi) with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) for metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), especially those cancers with alterations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes.

Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Agonists Reduce Cardiovascular Events in Cancer Patients on Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP1a), initially developed for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), have shown promising results in reducing cardiovascular events. We aimed to investigate the effect of GLP1a on cardiovascular events in patients receiving ICIs.

Raman Spectral Feature Enhancement Framework for Complex Multiclassification Tasks.

Raman spectroscopy enables label-free clinical diagnosis in a single step. However, identifying an individual carrying a specific disease from people with a multi-disease background is challenging. To address this, we developed a Raman spectral implicit feature augmentation with a Raman Intersection, Union, and Subtraction augmentation strategy (RIUS).
