Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of combination nicotine replacement therapy (c-NRT) for smoking cessation among people with HIV (PWH) in South Africa.
Design: We conducted an open label, individually randomized clinical trial.
Methods: Using a two-armed approach, PWH who smoke were randomized to receive either 1) intensive anti-smoking behavioral counseling (BC) or 2) intensive anti-smoking BC plus c-NRT (nicotine patches augmented by nicotine gum).

Background: Nodal only recurrence post radical prostatectomy (RP) is increasingly recognised in the PSMA scan era. Management is controversial with a curative approach usually incorporating prostate bed and nodal irradiation (PB + NRT) in combination with long-term hormonal therapy. It is unknown whether omitting prostate-bed irradiation (PBRT) is safe in a subgroup of these patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of the leading smoking cessation medications among individuals with current versus past major depressive disorder (MDD).
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a randomized, double-blind trial over 12 weeks with varenicline or bupropion, followed by a 12-week assessment, in participants ages 18-75 with past (N=2,174) or current (N=451) MDD or without psychiatric disorders (N=4,028). Interventions included 12 weeks of pharmacotherapy with placebo, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT; nicotine patch), bupropion, or varenicline, and brief counseling.

Background: The neoantigen vaccine has remarkable potential in treating advanced cancer due to its tumor specificity and ability to bypass central tolerance mechanisms. However, numerous neoantigens show poor immunogenicity, and the immune inhibitory factors of present in both tumors and tumor-draining lymph nodes impair the efficacy of cancer neoantigen vaccine. Eliminating immunosuppressive cells will improve the priming and expansion of anti-tumor immune cells induced by the vaccine.
