Objective: Early detection of ovarian cancer can improve patient outcomes; however, screening tests can yield false-positive results, leading to unnecessary surgical interventions. This systematic review explores the prevalence of false-positive ovarian cancer screenings and subsequent unnecessary surgical interventions.
Methods And Analysis: Five databases were searched in March 2023 and again in March 2024, encompassing primary literature published between 2003 and 2024.

Exposure-response (ER) analyses are routinely performed as part of model-informed drug development to evaluate the risk-to-benefit ratio for dose selection, justification, and confirmation. For logistic regression analyses with binary endpoints, several exposure metrics are investigated, based on pharmacological plausibility, including time-averaged concentration to event (C). C is informative because it accounts for dose interruptions, modifications, and reductions and is therefore often compared against ER relationships identified using steady-state exposures.

Background: In 2019, Korea initiated the world's first national low-dose computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening (LCS) program, adapting the Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) to counteract the high false-positive rates driven by prevalent tuberculosis.
Research Question: Does the modified Lung-RADS enhance screening specificity while maintaining sensitivity?
Study Design And Methods: This nationwide, retrospective, cohort study included high-risk current smokers aged 54 to 74 with at least 30 pack-years, participating in the national LCS program from 2019 to 2020. The modified Lung-RADS 1.

Introduction And Importance: Cervical cancer is highly correlated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, accounting for approximately 70 % of cases. However, false-negative HPV test results can occur, complicating early detection.
Case Presentation: We introduce a rare case of cervical cancer with lung metastasis followed by vulvar metastasis.

Background: Current evidence suggests higher physical activity (PA) levels are associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the mediating role of the circulating metabolome in this relationship remains unclear.
Methods: Targeted metabolomics data from 6,055 participants in the EPIC cohort were used to identify metabolites associated with PA and derive a metabolomic signature of PA levels.
