We conducted cost-effectiveness analysis and budget impact analysis for androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus enzalutamide (ENZ) on patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) from the publicly-funded healthcare system perspective. Using a partitioned survival model, lifetime costs, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) of ADT+ENZ were estimated against ADT alone, ADT plus abiraterone (ADT+ABI), and ADT plus apalutamide (ADT+APA). Total healthcare cost differences with and without ENZ in mHSPC therapy were estimated for the period from 2022 to 2026.

This study aimed to understand the treatment patterns, health care resource utilization, and costs of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutation-positive (FLT3m+) AML patients in Japan.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of Japanese FLT3m + AML patients was conducted using data extracted from a national hospital-based claims database provided by Medical Data Vision Co.
Objective: This multicenter, retrospective, observational study investigated baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes in patients with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer who received primary androgen deprivation therapy, using Japan Study Group of Prostate Cancer registry data.
Methods: Among patients in the Japan Study Group of Prostate Cancer registry, those who initiated primary androgen deprivation therapy and were aged 20 years or older were enrolled in this study. The primary endpoint was time to disease progression, defined as time from primary androgen deprivation therapy initiation to either prostate-specific antigen or clinical progression.
The triplet state of chlorophyll formed by charge recombination in photosystem II (PSII) is a precursor of harmful singlet oxygen. Although main localization of the triplet state on the monomeric chlorophyll, Chl, at cryogenic temperatures has been suggested, how the triplet state is delocalized on other chlorophylls remains unclear. Here, we investigated the distribution of the triplet state of chlorophyll in PSII using light-induced Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) difference spectroscopy.

In accordance with regulatory requirements, we conducted a multicenter, observational surveillance of gilteritinib use in Japan.
Methods: Patients were followed for 6 months from gilteritinib treatment initiation.
