Prediction model for stage I NSCLC refines follow-up strategy, personalizes therapy
A prediction model on disease recurrence for low-risk, resected stage I lung adenocarcinoma can classify postoperative patients with available clinical information and may even aid in personalizing a follow-up strategy and future adjuvant therapy, reports a study.
S-ketamine anaesthesia improves recovery following modified radical mastectomy
A prospective randomized controlled trial of breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM) finds that S-ketamine used in place of sufentanil for general anaesthesia (GA) improves postoperative recovery.
Palliative care for interstitial lung disease more difficult than for lung cancer
Providing palliative care (PC) for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) appears more challenging than for those with lung cancer (LC), according to a study. Pulmonary specialists have also cited some ILD-specific barriers in PC.
CV health tool effectively promotes discussions during routine follow-up in cancer survivors
A novel electronic health record (EHR) clinical decision support tool, otherwise called the AH-HA* tool, was effective in promoting cardiovascular health (CVH) discussions among cancer survivors during routine follow-up. This was the primary result of a clinic-randomized, hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial presented at ASCO 2023.
Lazertinib improves PFS vs gefitinib in 1L treatment of EGFR-mutated NSCLC
The third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) lazertinib significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) vs gefitinib in first-line (1L) treatment of patients with EGFR -mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring an exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation, results of the phase III LASER301 trial have shown.
