Background: The 1998 post-operative radiotherapy meta-analysis for lung cancer showed a survival detriment associated with radiation for stage I-II resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but has been criticized for including antiquated radiation techniques. We analyzed the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to determine the impact of radiation after margin-negative (R0) resection for stage I-II NSCLC on survival.
Methods: Adult patients from 2004 to 2014 were analyzed from the NCDB with respect to receiving radiation as part of their first course of treatment for resected stage I-II NSCLC; the primary outcome measure was overall survival.
Results: A total of 197,969 patients underwent R0 resection for stage I-II NSCLC, and 4613 received radiation. Median radiation dose was 55 Gy with a 50-60 Gy interquartile range. On adjusted analysis, treatment at a community cancer program, sublobectomy, tumor size (3-7 cm), and pN1/Nx were associated with receiving radiation (odds ratio > 1, p < 0.05). The irradiated group had shorter median survival (45.8 vs. 77.5 months, p < 0.001), and radiation was independently associated with worse overall survival (hazard ratio (HR) 1.339, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.282-1.399). After propensity score matching, radiation remained associated with worse overall survival (HR 1.313, 95% CI 1.237-1.394, p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Radiotherapy was independently associated with worse survival after R0 resection of stage I-II NSCLC in the NCDB and was more likely to be delivered in community cancer programs.

Correlation Between PIK3R1 Expression and Cell Growth in Human Breast Cancer Cell Line BT-474 and Clinical Outcomes.
World J Oncol

Comprehensive Breast Health Center, Department of Surgery, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei 112201, Taiwan.
Background: While mutations in the gene play important roles in human breast carcinogenesis, gene alterations are recognized as actionable mutations for clinical cancer treatment. We aimed to elucidate the role of PIK3R1 in cell proliferation on breast carcinoma and to correlate the PIK3R1 expression with patients' outcome using human tumor tissue arrays.
Methods: Using human BT-474 (estrogen receptor (ER)+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-high) breast carcinoma cell line as model, the role of PIK3R1 in cell proliferation was elucidated by knock-down of the gene (ΔPIK3R1) in this cell line.
Demographic features, clinical characteristics, and comorbid relation in hidradenitis suppurativa: a population-based study.
Front Med (Lausanne)

Department of Dermatology, Biruni University, İstanbul, Türkiye.
Background/objective: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting apocrine gland areas, characterized by painful nodules and abscesses that may result in sinus tracts and scarring. The global prevalence of HS is increasing due to heightened awareness, improved diagnostic methods, rising obesity rates, and higher smoking prevalence. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and comorbid characteristics of HS patients.

Expert Rev Anticancer Ther

Department of Radiology, Shaoxing People's Hospital, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China.
Background: Currently, the choice between radiotherapy and surgery for treating older patients with early laryngeal cancer remains unclear. The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the therapeutic patterns and survival outcomes for a cohort of older patients with early laryngeal cancer who received radiation therapy (RT) or surgery.
Methods: Clinical records of 1833 patients aged 65+ with stage I/II laryngeal cancer from the SEER registry (2010-2015) were assessed.
Prognostic significance of diagnosis-to-surgery interval in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma: A nationwide study.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University, Taoyuan, Taiwan, ROC. Electronic address:
Background: The question as to whether prolonged diagnosis-to-surgery intervals (DSIs) may compromise survival outcomes in patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) remains unanswered. This nationwide study was designed to address this issue.
Methods: We analyzed data from 26,214 patients with first primary OCSCC identified in the Taiwanese Cancer Registry Database between 2011 and 2021.
The efficacy of core decompression combined with regenerative therapy in early femoral head necrosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis involving 954 subjects.

Department of Orthopedics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: The debate continues on whether combining core decompression (CD) with regenerative therapy provides a more effective treatment for early femoral head necrosis than CD alone. This systematic review and meta-analysis endeavored to assess its efficacy.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library through July 2024 for RCTs and cohort studies evaluating the impact of core decompression (CD) with regenerative therapy versus CD alone in early-stage osteonecrosis (ARCO I, II or IIIa or Ficat I or II) of the femoral head (ONFH).
