Survival rates in early-stage rectal cancer patients have increased over the past few decades. Societies such as the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), American Cancer Society (ACS), Americ...
We aimed to analyze the radiation dose and compare survival among combined modality therapy using modern radiation techniques for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)....
This retrospective study included patients with clinically staged T1-4N0-3M0 ESCC from 2014 to 2018. Patients who received combined modality therapies with curative intent were enrolled. The overall s...
Of the 259 patients, 141 (54.4%) received definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (DCCRT); 67 (25.9%) underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery (NCRT+S); 51 (19.7%) obtained surgery ...
Our results suggest that NCRT+S can provide a favorable survival for patients with ESCC, especially in patients who achieved pCR. The optimal radiation dose might be 55-60 Gy for patients receiving DC...
The standard of care for early-stage Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) is combined modality therapy (CMT) consisting of chemotherapy and involved site radiation therapy (ISRT). Recent treatment de-escalation tria...
This study used a cost-effectiveness Markov model simulating 5 year outcomes for 1 million patients with early-stage HL treated with either PET-directed therapy consisting of 2 cycles of ABVD chemothe...
We found that PET-directed therapy and CMT strategies were associated with costs of $47,362 and $41,167, respectively. The CMT strategy was equally as effective as the PET-directed therapy strategy wi...
For patients with early-stage HL, CMT is the cost-effective strategy as compared with PET-directed therapy....

Thirty-nine percent of patients had major low anterior resection syndrome at baseline. Major low anterior resection syndrome remained stable (38%; 95% CI, 31%-46%) with no change over time (OR 0.95; 9...
This was a single-institution study and only patients who answered the questionnaire were included in the study....
A significant proportion of patients have major low anterior resection syndrome at baseline and after successful treatment for anal cancer. Having major low anterior resection syndrome at baseline was...

Positron emission tomography (PET) may differentiate responding and non-responding tumours early in the treatment of locally advanced gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas. Early PET non-responder...
Patients underwent baseline...
In total, 160 patients with resectable gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas were prospectively investigated by PET scanning. Eighty-five patients (53%) were excluded. Seventy-five eligible patien...
The primary endpoint of the study to increase the R0 resection rate in metabolic NR was not met. PET response after induction CTX is prognostic for outcome with a prolonged OS and DFS in PET responder...

Facial aging involves multilevel changes, extending from the skin to deep support structures. A comprehensive treatment approach targeting the many aspects of facial dynamics and architecture is often...
To explore the integration of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) into multimodal aesthetic treatment plans....
This article reviews evidence supporting the combination of BoNT-A with other minimally invasive cosmetic therapies, including dermal fillers, lasers, and energy-based devices as well as with plastic ...
Combination treatment protocols including BoNT-A demonstrate higher patient satisfaction and retention rates compared to monotherapy or sequential treatments. Some guidelines for sequencing of treatme...
Integrating BoNT-A into a larger aesthetic treatment plan is crucial for achieving natural and satisfying results in facial rejuvenation. Evidence supports better outcomes when incorporating with both...
Gastrointestinal cancers represent a major challenge to public health. Pancreatic cancer is the most lethal cancer among all gastrointestinal cancers. Most patients cannot meet the criteria of resecti...
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy helps some patients regain the opportunity of radical resection. An optimal regimen of chemotherapy is one that maximizes the anti-tumor efficacy while maintaining a relativel...
Combination therapies in a multidisciplinary manner that involves modified chemotherapy regimen, radical resection, and intestine auto-transplantation may provide the currently best possible care to p...
Loop diuretics are the cornerstone of the treatment of volume overload in decompensated heart failure. However, often complete decongestion cannot be achieved rapidly with loop diuretics alone, partly...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with antiangiogenic therapy have limited efficacy in treating advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The synergistic effect of systemic therapy and radia...
This retrospective observational study analyzed the medical records of 194 patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage C HCC who were admitted to our center from August 2018 to June 2022 and rec...
A total of 76 patients diagnosed with advanced-stage HCC and treated with ICIs and antiangiogenic therapy were included in the study, with 33 patients in the RT group and 43 patients in the non-RT gro...
In comparison to the combination of ICIs and antiangiogenic therapy, the inclusion of RT has been observed to improve the DCR and survival outcomes in patients with advanced-stage HCC. The safety prof...
