A systematic review and meta-analysis investigated randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) targeting lifestyle behaviors commonly associated with brain health in adults. Data sources included Ovid Medline, Ovid PsycINFO, CINAHL [EBSCO], Embase, Cochrane Library [Ovid], Web of Science, and https://ClinicalTrials.gov.

- The study focuses on how palliative radiation therapy (RT) can alleviate pain and symptoms in patients with symptomatic locoregionally advanced breast cancer (SLABC).
- Analyzed data from 164 patients treated between 2016 and 2023 showed a majority experienced symptom relief within 3 months post-RT, with significant ongoing pain improvement for at least a year.
- Results indicate that while acute side effects varied with the treatment dose and fractionation, the overall effectiveness of RT in managing symptoms was consistent regardless of dosage variations, suggesting a tailored approach could be beneficial.
Purpose: Radiation therapy is an underinvestigated tool for priming the immune system in intact human breast cancers. We sought here to investigate if a preoperative radiation therapy boost delivered was associated with a significant change in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in the tumor in estrogen receptor positive, HER2Neu nonamplified breast cancers.
Methods And Materials: A total of 20 patients were enrolled in a phase 2 clinical trial and received either 7.
Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a diagnosis based on a constellation of clinical features of edema (peau d'orange) of a third or more of the skin of the breast with a palpable border and a rapid onset of breast erythema. Incidence of IBC has increased over time, although it still makes up only 1-4% of all breast cancer diagnoses. Despite recent encouraging data on clinical outcomes, the published local-regional control rates remain consistently lower than the rates for non-IBC.

We sought to evaluate whether dermal backflow correlates with patient-reported lymphedema outcomes (PRLO) surveys in breast cancer patients treated with regional nodal irradiation (RNI).
Methods And Materials: Patients with breast cancer planned for axillary dissection and RNI prospectively underwent perometry, NIRF-LI, and PRLOs (the Lymphedema Symptom Intensity and Distress Survey [LSIDS] and QuickDASH) at baseline, after surgery, and at 6, 12, and 18 months after radiation.
