Breast cancer incidence is on the rise in India as in rest of the world. While the advances in overall cancer care are at par, the surgical interventions have not been changing at the same pace in India, as in the rest of the developed world. Partly, this is due to the relatively more advanced state of cancer at detection and partly due to lack of awareness resulting in apprehension and slow acceptance of de-escalation of surgical interventions by the treating surgeons, and the beneficiaries, the patients. The article looks at the current scenario, available evidence on the practices and pitfalls with possible solutions for advancing surgical care of breast cancer in India.

Purpose Of Review: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a severe complication of retinal detachment and trauma, posing significant challenges to surgical success and visual prognosis. Despite advancements in vitreoretinal surgery, PVR incidence remains unchanged, this review presents a synthesis of the principal clinical and preclinical research findings from recent years.
Recent Findings: Recent research has focused on anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and antifibrotic agents.
Assessing the Value of Further Investment in R&D Using Mixed Methods: A Case Study of Biosensor-Integrated Arteriovenous Grafts.

This study illustrates the utility of a mixed-methods approach in assessing the value of an example novel technology-biosensor-integrated self-reporting arteriovenous grafts (smart AVGs). Currently in preclinical development, the device will detect arteriovenous graft stenosis (surveillance-only use case) and treat stenosis (interventional use case). The approach to value assessment adopted in this study was multifaceted, with one stage informing the next and comprised a stakeholder engagement with clinical experts to explore the device's clinical value, a cost-utility analysis (CUA) from a US Medicare perspective to estimate pricing headroom, and an investment model estimating risk-adjusted net present value analysis (rNPVs) to determine commercial viability.

Accurate drug-target binding affinity (DTA) prediction is crucial in drug discovery. Recently, deep learning methods for DTA prediction have made significant progress. However, there are still two challenges: (1) recent models always ignore the correlations in drug and target data in the drug/target representation process and (2) the interaction learning of drug-target pairs always is by simple concatenation, which is insufficient to explore their fusion.

Perioperative chemotherapy has emerged as a critical component in managing resectable colorectal liver metastases (CRLM), aiming to improve long-term survival, although data supporting its use remains controversial. This narrative review explores the current state of perioperative chemotherapy in patients with resectable CRLM, focusing on its role in different oncological risk categories. The review highlights ongoing controversies, such as optimal patient selection and the role of post- versus preoperative treatment in specific scenarios.
