Purple sweet potato is a source of starch with high potential to be developed as a functional food. It can be boiled and consumed as a snack or processed into intermediate goods such as flour. The flour can then be modified through partial gelatinization and followed by a retrogradation process to produce resistant starch-rich purple sweet potato flour.

- The study evaluated cancer patients receiving systemic anti-cancer treatment (SACT) at Guy's Cancer Centre during the COVID-19 pandemic to guide future clinical practices.
- A total of 2120 patients received SACT in 2020, a 13% decrease compared to 2449 in 2019, with notable changes in treatment types and stages, including an increase in stage IV cases.
- Despite the pandemic's challenges, the findings indicate that SACT continued effectively with a low SARS-CoV2 infection rate of 2%, suggesting minimal impact on patient mortality for those with solid tumors.
Objective/hypothesis: Extranodal extension (ENE) is an independent prognosticator in head-neck Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). All patients with ENE, however, do not behave the same, and there is a need for further risk stratification. This study evaluates the prognostic significance of various grades of ENE and the number of nodes with ENE on overall survival (OS) in oral cavity SCC (OCSCC).
