Effective communication is a critical skill for physicians, taught from the early stages of medical training.

The development of standard drugs for some unusual cancers, including estrogen-nonresponsive breast cancer, is somewhat difficult within a very short time. So, considering the current situation, phytoestrogen may be a potential candidate for unraveling chemotherapeutics agents. The reason for this review article is to manifest overall information regarding the effects of phytoestrogen on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), along with its related cellular and molecular pathways in different TNBC models.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify preferences of patients with high-risk hormone receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR + /HER2-) early breast cancer (EBC) related to adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) using the Adaptive Choice-Based Conjoint (ACBC) method.
Methods: A stepwise multimodal study was conducted in Germany between October 2021 and March 2022 consisting of desk research, qualitative interviews, and quantitative online surveys. Included patients had a high risk of recurrence at the time of their HR + /HER2- EBC diagnosis, completed primary therapy (surgery ± radiation + (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy), and were prescribed or undertaking adjuvant ET.

There is a high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among dermatological surgeons, particularly in the neck, upper and lower back, and shoulders. We performed an international survey which revealed a lack of ergonomic education and use of ergonomic tools in dermatological surgery. Most respondents were aware of bad posture during surgery, but few regularly checked their posture.
