The results of complex radiation therapy in 130 patients with cervical cancer were compared. Colpometrostats (components of AraT-B apparatus) with automatically-fed sources of 60Co high-level radiation were used for intracavitary treatment in 65 patients (group I). Gynecologic gamma-ray applicators with manually afterloaded 60Co low-level radiation sources were employed in group 2. No recurrence or metastasis were identified in stage I-II cases of both groups within the first 3 years of follow-up. Metastases into regional lymph nodes were detected in 3 patients (stage III) in group I and recurrences with advancing metastatic spread in 4 patients of group 2. Radiation-induced complications were relatively frequent in group 2.

Background: Manual extraction of real-world clinical data for research can be time-consuming and prone to error. We assessed the feasibility of using natural language processing (NLP), an AI technique, to automate data extraction for patients with advanced lung cancer (aLC). We assessed the external validity of our NLP-extracted data by comparing our findings to those reported in the literature.

Objectives: The lack of definitive biomarkers presents a significant challenge for chemo-immunotherapy in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). We aimed to identify key genes associated with chemo-immunotherapy efficacy in ES-SCLC through comprehensive gene expression analysis using machine learning (ML).
Methods: A prospective multicenter cohort of patients with ES-SCLC who received first-line chemo-immunotherapy was analyzed.

Introduction: The use of taxanes in the adjuvant setting of early breast cancer (BC) confers survival benefits, however, their role in older patients merits further study. This retrospective pooled analysis of randomized controlled trials conducted by the Hellenic Oncology Research Group (HORG) aims to assess the efficacy and safety of taxane-based adjuvant chemotherapy in older women with BC.
Materials And Methods: Five phase III trials containing a taxane, conducted by HORG between 1995 and 2013, were included in a patient-data pooled analysis.

Objective: We aimed to elucidate the histopathological pre-diagnosis of cranial gliomas with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in gliomas.
Method: A total of 82 glioma patients were enrolled to our study. Pre-operative conventional MRI images (non-contrast T1/T2/flair/contrast-enhanced T1) and advanced MRI images (DAG and ADC mapping, MRI spectroscopy and perfusion MRI [PMRI]) were analyzed.
