A Tailored Electronic Survivorship Care Plan for Prostate Cancer Survivors: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: Although the provision of a survivorship care plan (SCP) has been recommended after prostate cancer (PCa) treatment, there have been no randomized controlled trials to examine their impact. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a tailored PCa-SCP intervention provided to early-stage PCa survivors.

Materials And Methods: A prospective, parallel 1:1 randomized controlled trial was conducted at 3 sites across Canada.

Multi-scale relational graph convolutional network for multiple instance learning in histopathology images.

Graph convolutional neural networks have shown significant potential in natural and histopathology images. However, their use has only been studied in a single magnification or multi-magnification with either homogeneous graphs or only different node types. In order to leverage the multi-magnification information and improve message passing with graph convolutional networks, we handle different embedding spaces at each magnification by introducing the Multi-Scale Relational Graph Convolutional Network (MS-RGCN) as a multiple instance learning method.

UV LED Curable Perfluoropolyether (PFPE)-Urethane Methacrylate Transparent Coatings for Photonic Applications: Synthesis and Characterization.

The contribution aims to bring forth a novel synthesis route in developing transparent UV LED-curable coatings accounting for various exposure options. A selection of perfluoropolyether (PFPE)-urethane methacrylate and acrylate resins, free-radical photo-initiator Omnirad 2100, and two distinct silane-based crosslinking agents were blended under a weight ratio of 75:20:5 (without crosslinker) and 70:15:5:10, respectively. The coatings were cured under a UV LED 4 × 3 matrix light emitting source, in a chamber under a controlled atmosphere, by means of an in-house developed conveyor belt type platform, at different conveyor belt speeds (5, 50, 150, 250, and 500 mm/s).

Outcome of patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after PSMA PET/CT-directed radiotherapy or surgery without systemic therapy.

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) and surgery are potential treatment options in patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) following primary prostate cancer treatment. This study examines the value of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)-informed surgery and RT in patients with BCR treated without systemic therapy.

Methods: This is a post-hoc subgroup analysis of a prospective clinical trial.

Brenner Tumor of the Ovary: A 10-Year Single Institution Experience and Comprehensive Review of the Literature.

Brenner tumors (BTs) are surface-epithelial stromal cell tumors that are categorized by the World Health Organization as benign, borderline, and malignant. Due to the rarity of BTs, the published literature on these tumors is comprised primarily of case reports and small retrospective studies. We performed a pathology database review spanning the last ten years at our institution revealing nine reported benign BTs.
