Background: Tumor Budding (TB) and Immunoscore are independent prognostic markers in colon cancer (CC). Given their respective representation of tumor aggressiveness and immune response, we examined their combination in association with patient disease-free survival (DFS) in pTNM stage I-III CC.

Methods: In a series of pTNM stage I-III CCs (n = 654), the Immunoscore was computed and TB detected automatically using a deep learning network.

Purpose: This study evaluates real-world outcomes, toxicities, and prescribing patterns of PARP inhibitors (PARPis) for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC).

Patients And Methods: Electronic health records of 62 MBC patients treated with olaparib (n = 48) or talazoparib (n = 14) at Mayo Clinic System between 2017 and 2022 were analyzed. Time-to-treatment-failure (TTF) was assessed utilizing the Kaplan-Meier method.

Article Synopsis
  • ADCs in Cancer Therapy
  • : Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), like ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), are a significant breakthrough in cancer treatment, specifically for HER2-positive breast cancer, allowing targeted delivery of drugs to tumor cells while sparing normal tissue, but they can cause severe toxicity requiring monitoring.
  • Hepatopulmonary Syndrome (HPS) Cases
  • : A case series of four patients who received T-DM1 revealed they developed hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), which involves severe respiratory issues and is linked to long-term liver damage caused by the drug.
  • Need for Awareness
  • : The findings underscore the importance of recognizing

Strong relationships exist between sprint cycling torque and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) force production at one timepoint; however, the relationships between the changes in these measures following a training period are not well understood. Accordingly, this study examined the relationships in the changes of sprint cycling torque and IMTP force following six-weeks of sprint cycling and resistance training performed by strength-trained novice cyclists (n = 14). Cycling power, cadence, torque and IMTP force (Peak force [PF]/torque, average and peak rate of force/torque development [RFD/RTD], and RFD/RTD from 0 to 100 ms and 0-200 ms) were assessed before and after training.
