Objective: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) cancer patients face higher long-term and late-stage risks, so advance care planning (ACP) is an important way for them to participate autonomously in healthcare decision-making. However, in Chinese culture, discussing ACP with AYAs is challengeable due to their role as their family's hope, contributing to insufficient attention to this group in cancer care. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of AYA patients, their families, and healthcare providers about ACP based on the health belief model.

Regular exercise can alleviate late chemotherapy-related toxicities. We examined the impact of a 6-month supervised aerobic-strength training on cognitive and cardiometabolic health and residual level of platinum in cancer survivors.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common gastrointestinal cancer, and even though oxaliplatin chemotherapy is effective, there is a high likelihood of relapse, indicating the presence of oxaliplatin-resistant CRC. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehend the molecular mechanisms of oxaliplatin resistance and develop effective strategies to counter drug resistance. Numerous studies have demonstrated the close association between microRNAs (miRNAs) and drug resistance in CRC.

Mission Nationale Surveillance et Prévention des Infections Associées aux Dispositifs Invasifs (SPIADI), Centre d'Appui pour la Prévention des Infections Associées aux Soins en région Centre val de Loire, Centre Hospitalier Régional Universitaire, Hôpital Bretonneau, Tours, France.

Hematology patients require central venous catheters for cancer treatment and nutrition, which increases their risk of intravascular device-associated bacteremia. In the absence of recent data, we investigated intravascular device-associated bacteremia in this specific context. A three-month surveillance was conducted annually in 27 hematology wards, using a protocol derived from the HAI-Net ICU ECDC protocol (2020-2024).
