Effective communication is a critical skill for physicians, taught from the early stages of medical training. Breaking bad news is perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of medical communication. Parents of children with genetic syndromes often have a more complex and nuanced view of their children's lives, beyond the simplicity which a 'breaking bad news' framework allows. Shifting towards open, unbiased conversations can empower patients and enhance the doctor-patient relationship, acknowledging the complexity of individual experiences and perspectives.

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.

Zentrum Für Hämatologie Und Onkologie Bethanien, Frankfurt, Germany.
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.

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.
