Background: Definitive radiotherapy (dRT) has been shown to be an effective option for patients with oligometastatic and oligoprogressive cancers; however, this approach has not been well-studied in metastatic thyroid cancer.

Methods: This retrospective cohort included 119 patients with oligometastatic (34%) and oligoprogressive (66%) metastatic thyroid cancer treated from 2005 to 2024 with 207 dRT courses for 344 sites (50% thoracic, 37% bone, 7.5% brain, 4% abdominopelvic, and 1.

Article Synopsis
  • CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy improve outcomes for patients with hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, but evidence comparing first-line and second-line use is limited.
  • The phase 3 SONIA trial involved 1,050 patients and showed no significant overall benefit for using CDK4/6 inhibitors first-line compared to second-line (31.0 vs. 26.8 months median progression-free survival).
  • Although first-line treatment led to longer duration of CDK4/6 therapy and more severe side effects, the quality of life was similar for both treatment timing, questioning the necessity for first-line CDK4/6 inhibitor usage in all cases.

Background: There is a paucity of data on the optimal threshold of oestradiol (E2) levels required for successful implantation as this is a valid question to be answered, considering that significant number of fertilisation cycles are deferred for FET cycles.

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the serum E2 levels before starting exogenous progesterone in artificial autologous frozen thawed embryo transfers on pregnancy outcomes.

Settings And Design: This was a cohort study wherein clinical data of 213 artificial autologous programmed hormone-regulated frozen embryo transfer (HR-FET) cycles were collected.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy is effective for infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) but can induce immunosuppression. In Japan, Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination, modified in 2013 to reduce osteitis/osteomyelitis risk, coincides with the peak onset age of IESS. This raises concerns about infection risks when administering ACTH therapy post-vaccination.
