From 1967 to 1980, 240 cases of esophageal cancer, consisting of 153 curative and 87 palliative cases, were treated with a combination of radiation and chemotherapy. The five-year survival rate in 124 curative cases given a dose of more than 50 Gy was 12.9%, and 17 cases survived more than 5 years. In the 5-year survivors, T1 in the advancement of tumors, less than 7 cm in length, and cancer of both the serrated and tumorous types were characteristic factors, indicating a good prognosis. These cases were irradiated with a dose of 60-70 Gy and the tumors showed a high response to irradiation.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by pulmonary and systemic inflammation. The peripheral blood (neutrophil + monocyte)/lymphocyte ratio (NMLR) can predict the clinical outcomes of several inflammatory diseases. However, its prognostic value in COPD remains unknown.

Objective: To evaluate the relation between solar elastosis and tumor mutation burden (TMB) in a large clinically annotated cohort of stage II and III melanoma patients.
Methods: Primary cutaneous melanomas from 469 AJCC (8 edition) stage II and III patients with clinical annotation including outcome at 5 years of diagnosis were histopathologically evaluated for solar elastosis. Next-generation sequencing assay MSK-IMPACT was employed to determine TMB.

Background: Few studies have examined the prognosis of long-term gastric cancer (GC) survivors after gastrectomy. This study aimed to identify the prognostic factors for 5-year recurrence-free survivors after gastrectomy for GC.
Methods: A total of 721 patients with pathological stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ GC who underwent gastrectomy between 2005 and 2018 and survived for 5 years without recurrence were enrolled.
Trends in Ethnic Disparities in Stroke Care and Long-Term Outcomes.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
School of Life Course and Population Sciences, King's College London, London, United Kingdom.
Importance: Reducing the burden of stroke is a public health priority. While higher stroke incidence among ethnic minority populations (defined in the context of this study as individuals who are not White) is well established, reports on ethnic inequalities in care or outcomes are conflicting and often limited to hospital-admitted patients and short-term outcomes.
Objective: To investigate ethnic differences in stroke care and outcomes up to 5 years after stroke and describe temporal trends and contributory factors.
