International perspective on physician knowledge, attitude and practices related to medical cannabis
CONCLUSION: This international study examining knowledge, attitudes and practices related to medical cannabis among physicians revealed that there are significant gaps in domain-specific knowledge related to medical cannabis. There is wide variability in willingness to recommend medical cannabis that is not consistent with the current strength of evidence. This study thus highlights the need for greater education related to domain-specific knowledge about medical cannabis.PMID:37546945 | PMC:PMC10402227 | DOI:10.1101/2023.07.26.23293157

Extranodal Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma Nasal Type in 87 Cases from Spain: Clinical Presentation, Treatment and Prognostic Factors. Study from the Geltamo Group
Conclusion: This is the largest series reported of Caucasian patients with ENKTL-NT. Patients are young at diagnosis and one fourth had a previous history of chronic sinusitis. This population has a poor outcome, being progression the main cause of death. Poor clinical condition at diagnosis (high ECOG PS and low albumin level) is the main factor related with poor survival. Therapies with high dose L-Asparaginase improve the survival in this western population compared with the classical CHOP regimen.DisclosuresGonzález-Barca: Roche: Speakers Bureau; Celtrion: Consultancy; Gilead: Consultancy; janssen: Consultancy, ...
