Background: New employees generally demonstrate lower productivity than experienced colleagues in non-healthcare sectors, but there is limited evidence on how tenure affects physician productivity.
Objective: To evaluate the association between tenure and clinical productivity for attending physicians in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and explore whether this relationship differs by prior VHA residency or fellowship training.
Design: Retrospective cohort evaluation.
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-I molecules (or Human Leucocyte Antigen class-I) play a key role in adaptive immunity against cancer. They present specific tumor neoantigens to cytotoxic T cells and provoke an antitumor cytotoxic response. The total or partial loss of HLA molecules can inhibit the immune system's ability to detect and destroy cancer cells.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) burden is currently evolving with regional differences associated with complex behavioural, environmental, and genetic risk factors. The LEGACy study is a Horizon 2020-funded multi-institutional research project conducted prospectively to provide comprehensive data on the tumour biological characteristics of gastroesophageal cancer from European and LATAM countries.
Material And Methods: Treatment-naïve advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma patients were prospectively recruited in seven European and LATAM countries.
