Background: Esophageal cancer (ECa) is one of the most deadly cancers, with increasing incidence worldwide and poor prognosis. While endoscopy is recommended for the detection of ECa in high-risk individuals, it is not suitable for large-scale screening due to its invasiveness and inconvenience.
Methods: In this study, a novel gene methylation panel was developed for a blood-based test, and its diagnostic efficacy was evaluated using a cohort of 304 participants (203 cases, 101 controls).

We report the first randomized trial of a virtual reality (VR) headset used on-table during external beam radiotherapy treatments to reduce anxiety/distress during receipt of radiotherapy. A small pilot study was conducted among 10 patients, with VR randomized to start in the first week ('immediate VR') vs. second week ('delayed VR') of treatment.

The incidence rates range from 125 per 100,000 in northern China to 1-1.5 per 100,000 in the United States, driven by environmental and lifestyle factors such as tobacco and alcohol use, dietary habits, and pollution.

Objectives: In this systematic review, we aimed to investigate the effect of macronutrients, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables on the occurrence and progression of endometriosis.
Materials And Methods: A systematic literature review of eligible articles retrieved from medical databases, including PubMed, Cochrane, and Academic Search, was performed from inception to May 2023.

Background & Aims: The dynamics of HBV viral load (VL) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) on nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) treatment and its relationship with liver disease are poorly understood. We aimed to study longitudinal VL patterns and their associations with CHB clinical outcomes.
Methods: Utilising large scale, routinely collected electronic health records from six centres in England, collated by the National Institute for Health and Care Research Health Informatics Collaborative (NIHR HIC), we applied latent class mixed models to investigate VL trajectory patterns in adults receiving NA treatment.
