Objectives: This study aimed to determine clinical and pathological factors that identify a pathological complete response (pCR) in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Material And Methods: A retrospective, single-center study was conducted in women over the age of 18 who had been diagnosed with pathologically confirmed invasive breast cancer and who had received NAC between July 2016 and October 2021. Patient demographics, clinical, radiological, treatment, and pathological data were reviewed from the electronic hospital records.
Background: This study aimed to assess the combined impact of surgeon specialization and surgeon volume on both short- and long-term outcomes in patients underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Methods: Patients with cStage1-3 gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent curative-intent surgery between January 2010 and December 2020 were evaluated. The impact of surgeon specialization and surgeon volume on clinical outcomes was scrutinized, both individually and in combination.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the effects of L-theanine on liver injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion in rats, which is a condition where blood supply to the liver is temporarily cut off and then restored.
- Thirty-two male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups, some receiving L-theanine while others did not, to investigate changes in liver cell injury and function markers following induced ischemia-reperfusion.
- The results indicated that L-theanine reduced liver damage and improved various biochemical markers associated with hepatic injury, suggesting its potential protective role, though further research is necessary to confirm its effects.
