Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the roles of cleaved caspase-3 and Ki-67 index from diagnostic biopsies in predicting responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, focusing on different molecular subtypes and tumour characteristics.
  • An analysis of 110 patients revealed significant relationships between Ki-67 levels and factors like tumour grade and molecular subtype, while caspase-3 expression correlated with treatment response according to the Sataloff classification.
  • The findings suggest that while cleaved caspase-3 could indicate better responses to treatment, Ki-67 levels did not significantly differ among patients with varying treatment outcomes, highlighting the potential of these biomarkers in predicting treatment responses and guiding patient management.

Theresienöl is a 100 % natural product representing a mixture of animal and vegetable raw materials from Tyrol. Its exact recipe has been preserved untouched and in deep secret for more than six centuries yet, and has been passed down from generation to generation. Six patients were included in this case series one patient with malignant melanoma of the skin after re-excision with subsequent non-free skin surgical plastic, two patients with III degree skin burning and three patients with infected wound successfully treated with Theresienöl.

Introduction: Radiotherapy (RT) is a widely used treatment modality of malignant tumours of the uterine cervix and body. There are different techniques to deliver RT to the tumour lesions, including external beam radiation and brachytherapy. All international guidelines recommend RT as treatment modality for many stages of uterine cervical and body cancers because it improves a number of oncological outcomes, such as disease-free and overall survival.

Introduction: Malignant melanoma is one of the most malignant tumours in the human body. Radical re-excision of the tumour bed is a principal part of its surgical treatment. We aim to test the hypothesis that the re-excision with a 2 cm margin in all directions to the scar from the previous biopsy of the primary tumour provides sufficient local control in patients with this disease.
