Background: Complete pathological response to neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) in breast cancer is associated with prolonged survival. Compared to other breast cancer immunophenotypes, luminal tumors are the least chemosensitive with low rates of pathological response within this molecular subtype. Thus, finding predictors of response in this subset remains challenging.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with advanced high-grade digestive neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) have a poor prognosis, but adding immune checkpoint inhibition to chemotherapy may improve their survival rates.
  • The NICE-NEC trial tested nivolumab alongside carboplatin and etoposide in chemotherapy-naive patients and measured various outcomes, including overall survival and response rates.
  • While the primary survival rate goal was not met, the treatment was linked to a median overall survival of 13.9 months and 37.6% of patients surviving more than 2 years, with manageable safety concerns.

Background: We aimed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) using artificial intelligence. To do so, we compared the real-life situation during the pandemic with the pre-2020 situation.

Methods: This non-interventional, retrospective, observational study applied natural language processing to the electronic health records of the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain.

In recent years, many studies have analyzed the importance of integrating time, or aging, into the equation that relates genetics and the environment to the development and origin of COPD. Under conditions of daily clinical practice, our study attempts to identify the differences in the clinical profile of patients with COPD according to age and the impact on the global burden of the disease. This study is non-interventional and observational, using artificial intelligence and data captured from electronic medical records.
