Objective: The evaluation of the efficacy of immunotherapy is of great value for the clinical treatment of bladder cancer. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), pathway analysis and multi-omics analysis have shown great potential in the field of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: A GNNs model was constructed to predict the immunotherapy response and identify key pathways.

Purpose: The role of lung biopsy for evaluation of persistent chest radiographic abnormalities including secondary organizing pneumonia (OP) in COVID-19 remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of trans-bronchial forceps biopsy (TBFB) in patients with persistent lung abnormalities on thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan following SARS-CoV-2 infection with particular focus on cases with OP and immunocompromised (IC) patients.
Methods: Descriptive retrospective single center analysis of all TBFB performed for diffuse lung parenchymal changes after COVID-19 03-2020 to 06-2023.

Purpose: This study aims to accurately predict the effects of hormonal therapy on prostate cancer (PC) lesions by integrating multi-modality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the clinical marker prostate-specific antigen (PSA). It addresses the limitations of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in capturing long-range spatial relations and the Vision Transformer (ViT)'s deficiency in localization information due to consecutive downsampling. The research question focuses on improving PC response prediction accuracy by combining both approaches.

Background: DNA methylation (DNAm) influences both sex differences and cancer development, yet the mechanisms connecting these factors remain unclear.
Methods: Utilizing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of sex-related DNAm effects in nine non-reproductive cancers, compared to paired normal adjacent tissues (NATs), and validated the results using independent datasets. First, we assessed the extent of sex differential DNAm between cancers and NATs to explore how sex-related DNAm differences change in cancerous tissues.

Background: The Integrated Palliative care Outcome Scale (IPOS) is a key tool for assessing the quality of palliative care using patient-reported outcomes. This study aimed to culturally adapt and translate the IPOS to Korean and verify its psychometric properties for use in palliative care settings.
Methods: The IPOS was translated and culturally adapted, followed by validation in 119 terminally ill cancer patients and 28 healthcare providers across six Hospice and Palliative Care Units from September 2023 to January 2024.
