Article Synopsis
- * A total of 165 patients were included, with 62 receiving PORT, and the results showed that PORT improved disease-free survival (DFS) and locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRFS) in the overall group and specifically in patients with EGFR wild-type.
- * However, in patients with EGFR mutations, PORT did not lead to significantly better survival outcomes, suggesting that EGFR wild-type status may help identify patients who could benefit from PORT.
Article Synopsis
- Emotional distress (ED), like depression and anxiety, is common in cancer patients and can affect their treatment outcomes.
- In a study with 227 lung cancer patients, those with ED had shorter survival rates and worse responses to their immune therapy treatments compared to those without ED.
- The study highlights the importance of recognizing and treating emotional distress in cancer patients to help improve their overall health and treatment results.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how macrophage polarization affects pain and recovery in patients after surgery for lumbar disc herniation (LDH).
- Researchers analyzed tissue samples from 117 patients, evaluating pain levels using visual analog scales and disability indices before and after surgery.
- Results indicated that specific macrophage markers (CD68 and CCR7) were linked to lower pain scores one week post-surgery, suggesting pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages may help reduce chronic pain after such operations.

Aim: To investigate the expression of chemokine receptor CCR1 in the human colorectal carcinoma and its correlation with metastasis of lymph nodes.
Methods: By immunohistochemistry, the expression of CCR1 was studied in the colorectal carcinoma of 83 cases and 15 normal cases as control subjects.
Results: The positive expression rates of CCR1 in the colorectal carcinoma tissues with deep invasion, poor differentiation, metastasis and higher Dukes' stage were significantly higher than those with superficial invasion (P<0.
