Objective: The cachexia index (CXI) demonstrates potential as both a diagnostic tool for cachexia and a prognostic tool for survival in cancer. However, CXI's predictive value has not been verified in cervical cancer. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prognostic value of the CXI in patients with cervical cancer treated with radiotherapy.

Impact of lymph node dissection on survival after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy for esophageal squamous cell cancer: a double-center real-world retrospective study.

Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Cancer, State Key Laboratory of Oncology in South China, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center, Guangdong Esophageal Cancer Institute, Guangzhou, 510060, China.

Background: Previous studies indicated that over-dissection of lymph nodes might impair the efficacy of immunotherapy. This study aims to explore the prognostic value of ypN + status and the impact of lymph node dissection (LND) on survival after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (NICT) for esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC).

Methods: This double-center retrospective study enrolled 206 consecutive ESCC patients who underwent NICT followed by esophagectomy between 2018 and 2024.

Background And Objective: While whole-gland therapies for localized prostate cancer (PCa) offer excellent oncological outcomes, these can impact patients' quality of life (QoL) through serious side effects. Focal therapy using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has emerged as a less invasive alternative to preserve QoL. However, data on the psychological impact of HIFU remain rare.

Background: Hounsfield units (HU) on computed tomography (CT) are strongly correlated with bone mineral density (BMD) and may aid in osteoporosis screening. However, there is no standardized method for assessing bone density in displaced femoral head fractures. This study aimed to measure HU values in the femoral head using preoperative post-fracture CT images of patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures and investigate whether it correlated with BMD measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Background: ZUMA-7 is the largest randomized controlled trial (RCT) for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, which compared axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) to historical standard of care (HSoC) for the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL). Both arms of ZUMA-7 contained potentially curative treatments; however, differences in the treatment completion rate and timing to receive definitive treatment led to differences in the extent and timing of cure. Mixture cure modeling (MCM) has been suggested as a superior method in designing and powering clinical studies of curative therapies but also for extrapolation of long-term outcomes in simulation studies.
