The study aimed to retrospectively analyze the prognosis of patients with stage IE nasal extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) with dose reduction to clinical target volume (CTV) by using simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT). Forty-four patients were reviewed retrospectively. The prescribed dose was 45 Gy/25 fractions for extended involved-field site and 50-55 Gy/25 fractions for primary tumor site by using SIB-IMRT. The 5-year overall survival (OS), local control (LC) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 81.2%, 93.0%, and 78.8%, respectively. The complete response (CR) rate was 85.4% (37/44). Three patients (6.8%) patients had local failure and 3 (6.8%) patients developed systemic failure. There was only one patient had grade 3 mucositis and 2 patients had grade 3 or grade 4 hematologic toxicities. For patients with stage IE nasal ENKTL, appropriate dose reduction to CTV by SIB-IMRT strategy is feasible and safe with a promising outcome.

Background: Predicting the efficacy of immune-based therapy in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a clinical challenge. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in forecasting treatment response and survival outcomes for HCC patients undergoing immune-based therapy.
Methods: We analyzed a cohort of 268 HCC patients treated with immune-based therapy from January 2019 to March 2023.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable plasma cell malignancy with increasing global incidence. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy targeting BCMA has shown efficacy in relapsed or refractory MM, but it faces resistance due to antigen loss and the tumor microenvironment. Bispecific T-cell engaging (BITE) antibodies also encounter clinical challenges, including short half-lives requiring continuous infusion and potential toxicities.

Objectives: The current literature about the effect of advanced platelet rich fibrin(A-PRF) with vestibular incision subperiosteal tunnel access (VISTA) technique in treating gingival recession is scarce. Therefore, the aim of the current randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of A-PRF with VISTA technique in the treatment of Cairo class 1 gingival recession (RT1).
Methods: Twenty-four patients who met the eligibility criteria were randomly allocated into two groups.
Background: Metabolic pathways are known to significantly impact the development and advancement of lung cancer. This study sought to establish a signature related to butyrate metabolism that is specifically linked to lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Methods: For the purpose of identifying butyrate metabolism-related differentially expressed genes (BMR-DEGs) in the TCGA-LUAD dataset, we introduced transcriptome data.

Background: Melanoma is a highly aggressive skin cancer, where early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to improve patient outcomes. Dermoscopy, a non-invasive imaging technique, aids in melanoma detection but can be limited by subjective interpretation. Recently, machine learning and deep learning techniques have shown promise in enhancing diagnostic precision by automating the analysis of dermoscopy images.
