Article Abstract
Osseous metastases are common in cancer patients, and pain is one of the most frequent associated symptoms. The management of cancer-related pain is still problematic worldwide with 40 to 50% of patients still being undertreated. A significant proportion of cancer patients will require discontinuation of traditional analgesic treatments such as opioids due to unsuccessful pain relief or severe unmanageable toxicity and may, therefore, benefit from alternative treatments. Over the last few decades, several interventional radiology (IR) minimally invasive treatment options have been introduced into the cancer pain management toolbox and can be proposed to cancer patients. This article reviews the main IR treatment options for painful bone metastases which include vertebral augmentation, percutaneous osteosynthesis, tumoral ablation, electrochemotherapy, intra-arterial therapies, and percutaneous neurolysis.

Doing more with less: a narrative review of recent evidence in diagnostic stewardship.
Curr Opin Infect Dis
September 2025
Department of Microbiology, Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Purpose Of Review: Diagnostic stewardship (DS) aims to optimise the use of laboratory testing to improve patient care while reducing unnecessary tests. This review examines recent evidence on DS interventions to optimise the use of resources, focusing on three key areas: reducing unnecessary testing, maximising the impact of existing tests, and avoiding the overdiagnosis of hospital-acquired infections.
Recent Findings: Multiple interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing unnecessary blood and urine culture testing, including clinical decision support tools, education programs, and multidisciplinary approaches.
Metastatic Breast Cancer mHealth App to Promote Patient-Provider Communication: Protocol for a Usability and Satisfaction Study.

Background: With the availability of more advanced and effective treatments, life expectancy has improved among patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), but this makes communication with their medical oncologist more complex. Some patients struggle to learn about their therapeutic options and to understand and articulate their preferences. Mobile health (mHealth) apps can enhance patient-provider communication, playing a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment, quality of life, and outcomes for patients living with MBC.

While the cancer genome is well-studied, the nongenetic exposome of cancer remains elusive, particularly for regionally prevalent cancers with poor prognosis. Here, by employing a combined knowledge- and data-driven strategy, we profile the chemical exposome of plasma from 53 healthy controls, 14 esophagitis and 101 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients, and 46 esophageal tissues across 12 Chinese provinces, integrating inorganic, endogenous, and exogenous chemicals. We first show that components of the ESCC chemical exposome mediate the relationship between ESCC-related dietary/lifestyle factors and clinic health status indicators.

Background: Effective communication of mission and vision statements (MVS) is important for medical institutions seeking to connect with patients, staff, and the community. This study assessed the composition, readability, and topics addressed within MVS among NCI-designated cancer centers and affiliated hospitals.
Methods: We extracted MVS data from institutional websites for 65 NCI-designated cancer centers and their affiliated hospitals.

Importance: Black individuals have a twofold higher rate of prostate cancer death in the US compared with the average population with prostate cancer. Few guidelines support race-conscious screening practices among at-risk Black individuals.
Objective: To examine structural factors that facilitate or impede access to prostate cancer screening among Black individuals in the US.
