Between February 1, 1965, and December 31, 1985, 426 patients affected with Stage I adenocarcinoma of the endometrium were submitted to surgery in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology of the Regina Elena Cancer Institute. The value of the present survey is represented by the homogeneous diagnostic data on the basis of which the treatment was planned. Criteria of histological grading and myometrial invasion were always followed, making it possible to carry out a protocol combining surgery with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and/or hormone therapy. In fact, an accurate evaluation of the grading, the infiltration of the myometrium, and the localization and size of the lesion are necessary to establish the risk of lymph node invasion. This last parameter is the most important as far as the therapeutic protocol, recurrences, and/or metastases and survival are concerned. The high 5-year survival rate, despite the high average age of the patients (74.7% between the ages of 51 and 70), associated pathologies, and the relatively low incidence of complications from treatment, demonstrate the validity of the protocol adopted.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefits and outcomes of adjuvant radiation therapy on adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) patients. All patients with ACC that were reported between 2010 and 2015 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. A forward-stepwise Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify independent risk factors.

The University of Tokyo, Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Health Economics, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Rationale: Although the guidelines generally omit routine antibiotic prophylaxis for diagnostic bronchoscopy, this recommendation is primarily based on studies with relatively small sample sizes conducted at single institutions. Moreover, the applicability of recent technical and procedural advancements to these guidelines remains uncertain.
Objectives: To evaluate whether oral prophylactic antibiotic administration for diagnostic bronchoscopy reduces post-bronchoscopy infections among non-infectious diseases in the current setting.
Deep learning-based CT radiomics predicts prognosis of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma treated with TACE-HAIC combined with PD-1 inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Department of Interventional Radiology, Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital, No. 150 Haping Road, Nangang District, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, 150081, China.
Objective: To develop and validate a computed tomography (CT)-based deep learning radiomics model to predict treatment response and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)-hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with PD-1 inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
Methods: This retrospective study included 172 patients with uHCC who underwent combination therapy of TACE-HAIC with TKIs and PD-1 inhibitors. Among them, 122 were from the Interventional Department of the Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital, with 92 randomly assigned to the training cohort and 30 cases randomly assigned to the testing cohort.

Institute of Tropical Medicine, University of Tübingen, Tübingen, Germany.
Background: Arboviruses, including Dengue (DENV), Zika, and chikungunya, cause recurrent outbreaks of varying intensity in tropical countries. This study aimed to investigate other arboviruses, including Zika and chikungunya, in patients clinically suspected of Dengue and to characterize the circulating Dengue serotypes and genotypes in Northern Vietnam from 2020 to 2022. To date, information on this topic in the region has been limited.
