Anticoagulant use, older age predict radiation proctitis in chemoradiation-treated cervical cancer
Treatment with antiplatelet medications and age are some of the factors associated with the occurrence of radiation proctitis in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer treated by chemoradiation, a recent study has shown.
Extended TB surveillance needed for specific IGRA-negative individuals
Certain individuals initially testing negative for tuberculosis (TB) by interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) may later contract the infection and therefore require extended follow-up due to increased risk, as reported in a study from Singapore.
Personalized faricimab dosing shows durable efficacy in nAMD

Moreover, nearly four in five (80 percent) patients have achieved extended dosing intervals of 12 weeks or more.
