Background: Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a group of neurometabolic diseases that result from genetic defects in the glycosylation of proteins and/or lipids. Multiple pathogenic genes contribute to the varying reported phenotypes of individuals with CDG-1 syndromes, most of which are inherited as autosomal recessive traits, although X-linked inheritance has also been reported. Pathogenic variants in the asparagine-linked glycosylation 13 homolog (ALG13) gene have been implicated in the aetiology of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) 36 (OMIM:*300776, DEE36).

This study, using real-world data, assesses the impact of RS testing on treatment pathways and the associated economic consequences of such testing. This paper pertains to lobular breast cancer. A retrospective, observational study was undertaken between 2011 and 2019 on a cross-section of hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative, lymph node-negative, early-stage breast cancer patients.

Background: The current standard of care in the neoadjuvant setting for high-risk HER2-positive (HER2 +) breast cancer is to combine systemic chemotherapy with dual HER2 blockade, trastuzumab and pertuzumab. Targeted therapies have significantly improved outcomes for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. To improve treatment-associated toxicity, chemotherapy-sparing approaches are currently being investigated.

Article Synopsis
  • Perioperative chemotherapy is commonly used to treat serious stomach cancer, but some patients can't finish their treatment after surgery due to complications.
  • A study looked at 149 patients to see if giving all chemotherapy before surgery (called total neoadjuvant therapy, or TNT) would help more patients complete their treatment.
  • Results showed that while patients who received TNT didn’t have more problems after surgery, both groups had similar chances of survival and completing their treatment cycles, but TNT patients took more types of chemotherapy.
