In the Netherlands, the SGO Health Research Promotion Programme was carried out from 1986 until 1997. The aim of the programme was to strengthen patient-oriented clinical research in specific fields of medicine. Some of the programme sections certainly produced a number of good publications in established national and international journals, but the programme advisory committee's main objective was to bring about a cultural change in the field of health care investigation: awareness of the principle that scientific and notably patient-centred investigation has a place in its own right in research, education and care. This resulted in a large diversity of methods of stimulation ranging from stimulation of co-operation between researchers, training of physician researchers, support of methodology development, stimulation of education and postgraduate training, to establishment of actual institutes for clinical scientific research. Patient-oriented research is the necessary link within the continuum of health research, medical education and care. Changing social and demographic developments ask for continuous innovation of this type of research. Top-down steering, as practised by the SGO, can be necessary and effective to reach this innovation.

Basket study of oral progesterone antagonist onapristone extended-release in combination with anastrozole in progesterone receptor-positive recurrent adult-type granulosa cell tumor of the ovary.
Int J Gynecol Cancer
January 2025
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Department of Medicine, Gynecologic Medical Oncology Service, New York, NY, USA; Weill Cornell Medical College, Department of Medicine, New York, NY, USA. Electronic address:
Objective: We sought to determine the safety and efficacy of the oral progesterone antagonist onapristone in combination with anastrozole in patients with recurrent progesterone receptor-positive adult-type granulosa cell tumor of the ovary.
Methods: This was a single-institution phase II study of patients with progesterone receptor-positive adult-type granulosa cell tumor who received at least 1 prior line of chemotherapy. Patients were enrolled from November 2021 to August 2022 and tissue was evaluated for progesterone receptor status via immunohistochemistry.
Molecular classification of endometrial cancers (EC) and association with relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes: Ancillary analysis of GOG-0258.

Duke University, Durham, NC, United States of America. Electronic address:
Purpose: Determine if molecular classification using mismatch repair (MMR) and p53 protein expression predicts recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in endometrial cancer (EC) patients treated with chemotherapy and radiation (CRT) versus chemotherapy (CT).
Methods: GOG-0258, a phase III randomized trial (NCT00942357), compared CRT to CT. Immunohistochemistry assessed MMR and p53 status.
Does Cranial Base Angle Make a Difference in the Effectiveness of Functional Orthopedic Treatment? A Retrospective Cohort Study.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Institute of Health Sciences, Erciyes University, Kayseri 38039, Türkiye.
The literature suggests that the cranial base angle is considered one of the contributing factors to sagittal jaw malpositions when its relationship with the viscerocranium is examined. Our study aims to compare and evaluate the outcomes of fixed functional orthopedic treatment in patients with mandibular retrognathia across different cranial base groups. Participants were treated at Erciyes University with fixed functional appliances and categorized by CBA into low (<130°), medium (130°-134°), and high (>134°) groups.

Despite efforts to address inequities, research on women's health conditions (defined as those that uniquely or differently affect women and female individuals) remain significantly understudied. As directed by Congress, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research on Women's Health requested the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (National Academies) to conduct an assessment of the state of women's health research at the NIH. The findings of the National Academies committee include: 1) a significant funding inequity, with less than 8% of the total NIH grant budget for fiscal year 2023 allocated to women's health research; 2) a need for improved strategic NIH-wide priority setting, oversight, and adherence to existing policies to support women's health research; 3) a need for a specific institute for research on conditions specific to women's health; and 4) a need for sufficient training and additional funding to grow and retain the women's health research workforce.
