Objective: Stylomastoid foramen (SMF) puncture with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive therapy for hemifacial spasm (HFS) with notable therapeutic outcomes. Conventionally, this procedure is performed under CT guidance. The present study highlights the authors' preliminary clinical experience with robot-assisted SMF puncture in 7 patients with HFS using a neurosurgical robot.

Background: The management of capecitabine-related hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is critical to avoid progression of the syndrome through early detection and early response; management of HFS involves joint medication management by physicians and pharmacists (hospital and community pharmacists). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of collaborative medication management in cancer patients with HFS by comparing its effectiveness with the traditional response using monitoring reports from community pharmacists.

Patients And Methods: Medical records of 120 breast cancer patients who received capecitabine therapy between September 2017 and August 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.
