Self-supervised deep learning for highly efficient spatial immunophenotyping.

Background: Efficient biomarker discovery and clinical translation depend on the fast and accurate analytical output from crucial technologies such as multiplex imaging. However, reliable cell classification often requires extensive annotations. Label-efficient strategies are urgently needed to reveal diverse cell distribution and spatial interactions in large-scale multiplex datasets.

Neutropenic sepsis rates in patients receiving bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin chemotherapy using olanzapine and reduced doses of dexamethasone compared to a standard antiemetic regimen.

Objective: To investigate whether the use of a steroid-sparing antiemetic protocol (substituting dexamethasone with olanzapine) affects the incidence of neutropenia and associated hospital admissions in patients receiving bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin (BEP) chemotherapy.

Patients And Methods: Records from 108 patients who received BEP at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London were divided into two groups according to antiemetic regimen. Group 1 (treated 2008-2013) were treated with a steroid-containing antiemetic protocol and group 2 (treated 2014-2017) were treated according to a steroid-sparing protocol, i.

Targeted Therapies for Ovarian Cancer.

Epithelial ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate of all gynaecological malignancies. Most women present with advanced disease and develop a recurrence after radical surgery and chemotherapy. Improving the results of first- or subsequent-line chemotherapy has been slow, and novel approaches to systemic treatment are needed.

Impact of secondary cytoreductive surgery on survival in patients with platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer: analysis of the CALYPSO trial.

Objective: The role of secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCR) in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) remains controversial. The overall survival (OS) benefits for surgery reported in observational studies may be due to the selection of patients with better prognosis.

Methods: Using data from the CALYPSO trial, OS of patients who had SCR was compared to those treated with chemotherapy alone.
