The Effication of Low-Level Laser Therapy, Kinesio Taping, and Endermology on Post-Mastectomy Lymphedema: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Post-mastectomy lymphedema is a common complication following breast cancer surgery, characterized by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid, causing swelling, discomfort, and functional limitations in the affected arm. Traditional treatments for lymphedema include manual lymphatic drainage and compression garments, but their effectiveness is variable, and many patients do not achieve satisfactory outcomes. Emerging therapeutic modalities such as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), Kinesio Taping, and Endermology offer potential non-invasive treatment alternatives.

Long-Noncoding-RNA HOTAIR Upregulation is Associated with Poor Breast Cancer Outcome: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis.

Background: Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women worldwide with significant disproportionate mortality rates in developing countries. Although clinical management of breast cancer has been immensely improved, refinement in the prognostic and recurrent markers is still needed. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) HOTAIR has recently been associated with poor outcome and is potentially used as a prognostic marker in breast cancer.

Extrathyroidal extension and cervical node infiltration are associated with recurrences and shorter recurrence-free survival in differentiated thyroid cancer: a cohort study.

Background: Differentiated thyroid cancer has excellent overall survival. However, around 20% of patients experience recurrent diseases after a certain time of follow-up. Therefore, identification of risk factors for recurrence is necessary to adjust treatment and surveillance planning.

The prioritation and gap of preoperative COVID-19 vaccination in cancer surgery of the breast, head and neck, and skin: A cohort study of 367 patients in an Indonesian hospital.

Background: Postoperative infection of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with higher risks of mortality and pulmonary complication. Preoperative vaccination could significantly prevent postoperative-related mortality and morbidity particularly for cancer patients.

Methods: Cancer patients who were scheduled for elective major surgery were questioned for status and their willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccination and were prospectively monitored for the presence of postoperative COVID-19 infection and major complications.

Vigilance to misleading information is required to avoid delayed diagnosis: Case series of acral melanomas.

Introduction: Melanoma is considered a rare cancer among Asians with a wide range of mucocutaneous manifestations. Failure to recognize a lesion as melanoma at first presentation might delay surgery aimed at complete resection. Acral melanoma has been related with the highest rate of misdiagnosis (~30%) causing further delayed diagnosis.

Complete diaphysis resorption of the femur: A case report in a metastatic papillary thyroid cancer.

Introduction: Although differentiated thyroid cancers generally have a good prognosis, a small proportion of patients will have recurrent or progressive disease. Bone resorption due to thyroid cancer can cause significant challenges in the clinical management and rehabilitation.

Presented Case: Nearly total femur resorption was found as a first presentation in a patient with thyroid cancer.

Effects of Omega-3 Supplementation on Ki-67 and VEGF Expression Levels and Clinical Outcomes of Locally Advanced Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Neoadjuvant CAF Chemotherapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial Report.

Background: Omega-3 is a polyunsaturated fatty acid with an ability to regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis through interaction with inflammatory mediators. The potential additional beneficial effects of Omega-3 on chemotherapy patients with breast cancer is not yet completely revealed. Methods: A double-blind randomized control trial (RCT) involving a total of 48 locally advanced breast cancer patients was conducted.
