PRIO - a prospective integrative oncology registry: trial protocol.

Background: Integrative Oncology (IO) - the use of lifestyle modifications, mind-body practices and natural products in oncology - is increasingly asked for by patients. The evidence base of IO is growing and IO measures are included in national guidelines. Still, many questions about IO remain unanswered or still show a poor evidence base.

Photoluminescence and Scintillation Mechanism of CsPbBr.

Small bandgap scintillators have gained significant attention in recent years. Especially CsPbBr is an interesting material, mitigating the small Stokes shift-related problem of perovskites like CsPbBr. In this work, optical and scintillation properties of CsPbBr single crystals are investigated as a function of temperature, with a detailed focus at 10 K.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of additional local prostate radio therapy in metastatic prostate cancer from a medicare perspective.

Background: Metastatic prostate cancer remains a therapeutic challenge. Based on data of the STAMPEDE trial, patients with a low metastatic burden showed prolonged failure-free and overall survival when treated with prostate radio therapy (RT) in addition to standard of care (SOC). The objective of this study was to determine the cost-effectiveness of additional prostate RT compared to SOC alone for following subgroups: non-regional lymph node (NRLN) metastases, up to three bone metastases and four or more bone metastases.

Enhancing patient activation: a controlled implementation study of an interprofessional evidence-based counseling program for complementary and integrative healthcare in cancer patients ('CCC-Integrativ').

Complementary and integrative healthcare (CIH) is increasingly recognized as a valuable approach to empowering and activating cancer patients. Studies have shown that higher patient activation is positively associated with improved health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. The CCC-Integrativ study aimed to assess the implementation of an evidence-based counseling service on CIH at four Comprehensive Cancer Centers (CCC) in Germany.
