- The study focused on the long-term effects of afatinib in patients with EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who also had other health issues, and assessed the usefulness of monitoring circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
- Conducted in the UK, the TIMELY trial involved patients receiving afatinib daily until their disease progressed or they experienced significant side effects, with blood samples analyzed every 12 weeks.
- Results showed that while the median progression-free survival was 7.9 months, some patients experienced long-term benefits, and ctDNA testing improved the detection of EGFR mutations and was linked to better outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- - Most US children and adolescents fall short of recommended daily physical activity (PA), and schools could play a crucial role in providing more access to physical education (PE) and recreational opportunities throughout the day.
- - A study involving 4,845 K-12 PE teachers across 25 states found that access to PE and PA is generally better in elementary schools compared to middle and high schools, revealing a gap with national recommendations.
- - There's a clear need for states to improve access to PE and recreational activities to align more closely with national guidelines, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among educators, policymakers, and community stakeholders to ensure equitable access for all students.
