The Community Oncology Unit (COU) in Nazareth, Israel, provides complete medical treatments to patients who live in the rural area of the country. During the COVID-19 pandemic, oncology nurses face additional challenges in facilitating cancer care. Pertinent adjustments are being made at the COU to maintain patients' safety and enable continuous oncology therapy by coordinating patients' COVID-19 testing and vaccination program.

Background: Survival of pediatric and young adults with malignant glioma remains poor despite progress in treatment. This is especially true for diffuse hemispheric glioma (DHG), H3 G34-mutant, which is often present in adolescent and young adult patients. This scoping review consolidates existing knowledge of DHG H3 G34-mutant and identifies future targets and therapeutic options.

Background And Objective: Whether radical prostate cancer treatment affects long-term physical performance and physical activity in older men is not known. We aimed to compare physical performance and self-reported physical activity between relapse-free older prostate cancer survivors and population-based controls.
Methods: A single-centre, cross-sectional study including 109 men aged ≥70 yr receiving robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (61.

Introduction: In 2021, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) published the IASLC Language Guide as guidance on preferred language and phrasing in oral and written communications, including presentations at conferences. This study analyzed presentations from the 2022 IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC) one year after implementation of the Language Guide to identify adoption rates of non-stigmatizing language and to determine correlations with presenter characteristics.
Methods: We downloaded 522 slide presentations from the IASLC WCLC 2022 conference attendee portal.

Introduction: Esophageal cancer impairs basic functions such as eating and drinking frequently resulting in difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) and other problems such as weight loss, pain, fatigue, and taste alterations. There is still a research gap in understanding the impact of dysphagia on quality of life, as patients continue to bear significant physical and psychological burdens despite advances in treatment. This study attempted to address this gap by examining the lived experiences of dysphagia-related quality of life among esophageal cancer patients.

Macrophages are a pivotal immune cell population in the tumor microenvironment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Differently-polarized macrophages could be exploited to yield naturally-tailored biomimetic nanoparticles for CRC targeting. Here, membrane proteins were isolated from the THP-1 cell line, and anti-tumor macrophages (M1) were obtained from differentiation of THP-1.
