The emerging emetogenicity of trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS ‑102) from patient self-reporting: a multicenter, prospective, observational study
ConclusionsThe low incidence of vomiting and high patient satisfaction suggest that TAS-102 does not require the use of uniform prophylactic antiemetic treatments. However, patients with the experience of CINV in previous treatment might require prophylactic antiemetic treatment. (Source: Supportive Care in Cancer)

Genetics Plays an Increasingly Important Role in the Management of Plastic Surgical Patients
Genetics has played an increasingly important role in patient management over recent decades, with innovations improving the care of diseases ranging from breast cancer to sickle cell disease. This is also the case in plastic surgery, where genetics informs patient care and offers promising treatment opportunities (Table 1). Already, plastic surgeons leverage genetic innovations to supplement management decisions for some conditions including craniosynostosis, cleft lip and/or palate, and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, among others.

This ecological study aimed to identify the factors with the greatest power to discriminate the proportion of oral and oropharyngeal cancer (OOC) records with time to treatment initiation (TTI) within 30 days of diagnosis in Brazilian municipalities. A descriptive analysis was performed on the var iables grouped into five dimensions related to patient ch...

Transcutaneous carbon dioxide suppresses skeletal muscle atrophy in a mouse model of oral squamous cell carcinoma
In this study, we calculated fat-free body mass (FFM), defined as the skeletal muscle mass, and evaluated the expression of muscle atrophy markers and uncoupling protein markers as well as the cross-sectional area (CSA) to investigate whether transcutaneous application of CO2 to skeletal muscle could suppress skeletal muscle atrophy in cancer-bearing mice. Human oral squamous cell carcinoma was transplanted subcutaneously into the upper dorsal region of nude mice, and 1 week later, CO2 gas was applied to the legs twice a week for 4 weeks and FFM was calculated by bioimpedance spectroscopy. After the experiment concluded, t...

An insight into clinicians ’ practices in breaking bad news of oral cancer diagnosis
Communication is an integral component of effective healthcare delivery to patients, and this includes breaking bad news (BBN). However, clinicians in dentistry are rarely exposed to diseases that can negatively and seriously affect an individual ’s view of their future and pose a mortality risk, except for oral cancer. The aim of this study was to assess clinician practices in BBN of oral cancer diagnosis in Malaysia. An exploratory sequential mixed-methods study design was used. A qualitative study was conducted among 12 clinicians to ga ther relevant information regarding their practices in BBN of oral cancer diagnosi...

Probabilistic risk assessment of residential exposure to electric arc furnace steel slag using Bayesian model of relative bioavailability and PBPK modeling of manganese
AbstractElectric arc furnace (EAF) slag is a coproduct of steel production used primarily for construction purposes. Some applications of EAF slag result in residential exposures by incidental ingestion and inhalation of airborne dust. To evaluate potential health risks, an EAF slag characterization program was conducted to measure concentrations of metals and leaching potential (including oral bioaccessibility) in 38 EAF slag samples. Arsenic, hexavalent chromium, iron, vanadium, and manganese (Mn) were identified as constituents of interest (COIs). Using a probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) approach, estimated distribut...

N0 neck trial: Does Intensification of Follow-up (ultrasound + Physical Examination) Influence Outcomes in Early-stage Oral Cancer?
We previously reported a survival benefit of elective neck dissection (END) over therapeutic neck dissection (TND) in patients with clinically node-negative early-stage oral cancer. We now report the results of the second question in the same study addressing the impact of adding neck ultrasound to physical examination during follow-up on outcomes.

Comparison of 3-year local control using DAHANCA radiotherapy guidelines before and after implementation of five millimetres geometrical GTV to high-dose CTV margin
Primary radiotherapy is the preferred anatomy-preserving treatment for squamous cell carcinomas in the head and neck region (HNSCC), excluding carcinomas in the oral cavity or certain localised oropharyngeal/laryngeal cancers amenable to surgery[1,2]. Platinum-based chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) using IMRT/VMAT techniques is the contemporary standard for loco-regionally advanced HNSCC, with a five-year risk of local and regional failures of 23.5 % and 20.2 %, respectively, using altered fractionation regimes [3].

A Prospective Cohort Study on Neck Lymph Node Mapping in Oral Cancers Using Methylene Blue Dye
AbstractIn the current scenario, the management of N0 neck in early-stage oral cancer is debatable, whether or not they should undergo elective neck dissection. Most of the time these patients are either over-treated or under-treated. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a good option to identify occult LN in this cohort of patients for guiding neck dissection. With a focus on SLN biopsy using methylene blue dye, this study aims to evaluate its feasibility and accuracy in node-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma. A prospective observational study was conducted involving operable squamous cell carcinoma patients with clini...

Clinical prediction of opioid use disorder in chronic pain patients: a cohort-retrospective study with a pharmacogenetic approach
CONCLUSIONS: Functional polymorphisms related to OPRM1 variant and CYP2D6 phenotypes may predict a higher OUD risk. Established risk factors such as young age, elevated MEDD and lower incomes were identified. A predictive model is expected to be implemented in clinical setting among CNCP patients under long-term opioids use.PMID:38619184 | DOI:10.23736/S0375-9393.24.17864-9 (Source: Minerva Anestesiologica)

Banxia Xiexin Decoction inhibiting colitis-associated colorectal cancer infected with Fusobacterium nucleatum by regulating Wnt/beta-catenin pathway
In conclusion, BXD can inhibit CAC infected with Fn, and its potential mechanism may be related to the inhibition of Fn binding to E-cadherin, the decrease in annexin A1 protein level, and the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.PMID:38621974 | DOI:10.19540/j.cnki.cjcmm.20231114.701 (Source: Cancer Control)
