Demographic changes in the world population will cause a significant increase in the number of new cases of cancer. To handle this challenge, societies will need to adapt how they approach cancer prevention and treatment, with changes to the development and uptake of innovative anticancer drugs playing an important role. However, there are obstacles to implementing innovative drugs in clinical practice. Prior to being incorporated into daily practice, the drug must obtain regulatory and reimbursement approval, succeed in changing the prescription habits of physicians, and ultimately gain the compliance of individual patients. Developing an anticancer drug and bringing it into clinical practice is, therefore, a lengthy and complex process involving multiple partners in several areas. To optimize patient treatment and increase the likelihood of implementing health innovation, it is essential to have an overview of the full process. This review aims to describe the process and discuss the hurdles arising at each step.

A surgical orthotopic xenograft approach with immune response for colorectal cancer research.
Animal Model Exp Med
January 2025
Cancer Institute, School of Medicine, Jianghan University, Wuhan, China.
The high morbidity and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major challenge in clinical practice. Although a series of alternative research models of CRC have been developed, appropriate orthotopic animal models that reproduce the specific clinical response as well as pathophysiological immune features of CRC are still lacking. In the current study, we constructed a CRC orthotopic xenograft model by implanting the tumor tubes at the colorectum of mice and monitored the model development using bioluminescence imaging.

January 2025
School of Nursing, China Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan.
Background: Delirium is a common and severe condition among adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Music intervention, as a non-pharmacological approach, has the potential to reduce delirium, but the optimal dosage and type of intervention remain unclear.
Aim: To explore the effects of music intervention at different doses and types on reducing delirium in ICU patients.
A Multi-Scale Computational Model of the Hepatic Circulation Applied to Predict the Portal Pressure After Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt (TIPS).
Int J Numer Method Biomed Eng
January 2025
Hebei Provincial Key Laboratory of Portal Hypertension and Cirrhosis, Xingtai People's Hospital, Xingtai, China; Department of Radiology, Zhongda Hospital, Medical School, Southeast University, Nanjing, China.
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a widely used surgery for portal hypertension. In clinical practice, the diameter of the stent forming a shunt is usually selected empirically, which will influence the postoperative portal pressure. Clinical studies found that inappropriate portal pressure after TIPS is responsible for poor prognosis; however, there is no scheme to predict postoperative portal pressure.
