Utility of quantitative measurement of T using restriction spectrum imaging for detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.

The Restriction Spectrum Imaging restriction score (RSIrs) has been shown to improve the accuracy for diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) compared to standard DWI. Both diffusion and T properties of prostate tissue contribute to the signal measured in DWI, and studies have demonstrated that each may be valuable for distinguishing csPCa from benign tissue. The purpose of this retrospective study was to (1) determine whether prostate T varies across RSI compartments and in the presence of csPCa, and (2) evaluate whether csPCa detection with RSIrs is improved by acquiring multiple scans at different TEs to measure compartmental T (cT).

TOURISM study (Treatment Outcomes in UteRIne SarcoMa): a 10-year retrospective evaluation of practice in the UK.

Background: Although rare, uterine sarcomas account for a high proportion of uterine cancer mortality. Treatment options and robust trial data are limited.

Objectives: The TOURISM study (Treatment Outcomes in UteRIne SarcoMa) is a UK-wide study by the National Oncology Trainees Collaborative for Healthcare Research which aimed to characterise this patient cohort.

Patient-Reported Outcomes in Geriatric Oncology-Balancing Quality of Life and Therapeutic Effectiveness Using Primary Breast Cancer as a Model.

Breast cancer remains the most prevalent cancer worldwide, necessitating advancements in its management. Surgery remains the recommended primary treatment although neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatments, such as chemotherapy, may also be indicated. However, such medications confer a risk of toxicity, often resulting in dose reductions and hospitalisations.

"I think they are actually a bit racist in not giving us everything that we need in terms of medication": Racialised governance and asylum seeker access to healthcare in England.

This paper critically examines the lived experiences of asylum seekers accessing primary and secondary healthcare in England. We employ a framework of racialised governance to assess how historical and political processes of racialisation can manifest in healthcare. It draws upon longitudinal interviews with asylum seekers currently living in the North and South of England.
